    I forgot to post a picture of her! Well here she is :) Since she is red and white I figured to stay with the Christmas theme and named her Carol after Carol of The Bells. Her first molt went great! I saw her this morning doing my check and she is doing wonderfully. The rock she is on in the picture is still HER rock and she lives in there still.

    I like my cleaning shrimp, he stays out most of the time due to my coral banded is pretty nasty to my fish, i have to try to catch him tonight and bring him back to my LFS, i just noticed my lawnmower blenny had a big chunk missing out of him, and its from the coral banded, b/c he attacks every fish that swims past:-/

    Here is a pic of Candy Cane. She is so tiny and almost see through, it was hard to get a picture of her. My camera wanted to zoom in on the rocks.
