OK some pics, most of the monti's are in QT lost a bunch in past to nudi's so very careful now. Also several sticks are browned out as they lived while I was balancing the Alk.

I am assuming this is a farily new tank set up?

You have the start of some beautiful corals!!! very nice frags. I noticed some cyno and green bubble algae.. that gave me the indication of a newer system... a full tank shot would be cool!!
speedstar

The cyno and green bubble tend to be on one rock that didn;t come from the sump of my main system. All the other rock was sump rock anything that isn;t purple.

So yes it is a new setup new sand, but established water and rock though it was only in the sump and stayed pretty white.

I'll get a pic up of 6the 150g soon.

Yes I have it and a yellow coris wrasse in there. The mystery has been with me along time and a proven monti eating nudi eater (in other system).

I believe it to be a gomezi, it is a no-name from a piece i am almost positive Mike brought in for me. perhaps he will chime in.

I loved my mystery wrasse. :ghost: I lost him in the kalk disaster...which caused me to avoid buying any fish more than $30.

No problem you'll be first. I still know the guy with the colony that I sold, so perhaps i can get you some sooner.

Great fish when it doesn;t explore the overflow.

I see a frag swap needing to be made once that puppy grows out.

Question on that limeade, do they normally grow outward like that one has, cause I really like the way that looks.
