    hahaha - that is Lenny the Lawnmower Blenny. We've had him 6 months now. He is a eating machine, not only does he cleanup the algae but he eats the stuff in Emerald Entree.

    ok i built a new photo gallery on my server and i like it much better.

    So i plan on adding a large CUC this weekend and as many corals as i can afford after paying bills. I feel like i need movement and color - any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I love LPS for movement and color. Duncans, torch, hammer, frogspawn....Mushrooms are also very colorful as well as you can't go wrong with zoas. I also really like xenia - I know many complain about them being so invasive - I really like the lighter colored ones. It's just so cool to see them pulse, very relaxing. I think kids would find them cool to watch. HTH!

    Xenias are cool and pretty cheap. I've had a good size rock of them for a while now and they haven't taken over anything "yet". My GSP on the other hand... I almost wish I never put that in my tank!

    i like the look of the xenias. There was one that my LFS had that i wanted (cant remember the name), but it was large and green...nice looking polyps but he said that it was already closing up and that it liked "dirty" water. He said some don't do well in very well maintained and high light tanks.

    I have them in my 75gal with an 8bulb T5 fixture, do weekly water changes, and they pulsate with the best of them!
