    heh, I got #13 and #5

    13 is now happily residing in my 165 perched 2/3 way up on a perfect rock he can anchor himself to- his camoflage is showing nicely- nice blue speckling too. Both of these clams are 5 inches or better. 5 is your a typical blue sparkly edge crocea clam - bigger then I thought he was though.

    #5 is on the sand bed of the 45 presently, happily soaking up rays, next to his long lost deressa cousin, along with the 6 corals I also grabed. The Welso I nabbed is sooooooo cool looking, all be it not as large as I thought he was, after I got him acclimated and placed him in the 45 he got so big I thought he was gonna explode. :) He has settelled down now and looks like a perfect specimen- so very cool looking. Just a tad small (3.5 inches)

    The 5 inch lobo, well the pic's do not show the red ring of fire he has, but WOW! The others (mostly favia's) are replacments in my big tank for the zoanthids and paly's I moved into the 45. Seriously, why buy zoanthids when you can have favia's for less price?

    I so wanted that pinkish acro- I went into the last 3 seconds and lost out- AHHHHHHHHH. :cry:

    Now the trick is- keeping all these critters in a 45 gallon show tank happy, but I think I will do just fine- you can always tell if critters are happy on the first day- thank goodness mine seem to be. The big tank is never a concern - it has it's own personality- it keeps my critters for me. (J/K) :D
