What an awesome little fish! Master of disguise! Lol!!!Picked us this little Midas blenny yesterday. Still pretty shy and all the tankmates appear to be behaving. Hes hanging out in the weirdest places. He thinks he is the master of disguise! Silly blennies!

The new chromis really brought a lot of movement to the tank. They even brought the new midas blenny out.
Here is a little rainbow monti that turned white on me a while back. Slowly but surely it seems to be coloring up nicely! I really want this piece to show its true color.

Well I lost chromis one by one until I had one left. Maybe they where just to small for my tank and became anemone food or something. I took the last one back to the LFS and decided to go with something slot more interesting, a puffer! A leopard toby puffer. One of the smallest, if not the smallest toby puffer. Yea, I took chance on it nipping coral, but I have faith in the little dude that he won't. (Fingers crossed and eyes on him!) So far I haven't seen him chomp at any coral, but we will see. Here is a few photos and a little cell phone video (apologies on the blues and quality) that I made today.

Well the puffer did not make it. Couldn't get him to ear anything. Tried soaking on garlic extreme and even live hitchhiker clams as well as many different foods. I think he may have had a parasite or something. I also ended up trading off my Midas blenny to a friend that really loved it. I will probably get another in the future or a different fang blenny.

Well my Potter's angel vanished on me. Haven't seen him in 4 days now and he's always out, every day. I did have the screen top off while reprogramming lights, possibly jumped on me without me realizing. I do have 2 dogs and a very curious cat that could have scooped him up if that was the case. It's too bad, he was such a pretty (and pricey for me anyways) fish. He was very healthy looking and ate like a boss. Anyways here are a few shots I got today. It's do hard to get good photos of the fish. My emerald crab was showing out on me today. Lol

Well unfortunately the long fin was lost 2 days after adding him. Possibly bad health to begin with along with a few chases from my orchid dottyback (which was actually larger than him). My dottyback has never once showed aggression towards any fish I added, but didn't seem to like the small longfin. I did build me a nice little social acclimation box out of an old leaky Brita filter and this is day 2 of having a new red fin fairy wrasse (larger than dottyback, and overall bulky/healthy looking) and a scarlet cleaner shrimp in it. Here are some photos.
I also picked up some of the really small hole BRS clear netting versus my old black bird netting to redo my screen top. Should have been done long ago though I haven't had any jumpers.

Thanks. The 24" led with 90° optics seem to do that well on a 32" tank. As well as a fairly clean black back glass.Really nice manlove the scape and the way your scape looks like its in a spotlight in some shots. The dark on the sides and above the scape makes the "tank" disapear. Cool
