I get the new tank up I'm gonna want a frag of those zoa's in the bottom pic, those look like a group I use to have.

I love that trigger!

[Sir Patrick]

^thx, I do too.

I was planning on waiting for the new tank to get set up before I bought one. Couldnt help myself when I saw this one though-

It is absolutly beautiful
Been living well and eating at the fish store for 2 months
Is only about 2" long, fat and happy
And had a price tag of $18

How could I pass this up, right? It is my favorite fish after all. He/she will be niger trigger #4 for me. By far the smallest so far. Very happy with the results af his behaivior in my reef, and with my fish and inverts in the tank.

Hey Chris, reef is looking good. Nice color combinations too. I had no idea the Niger gets that blue. I think I want one, but I'll research it to see if it gets along with my array of fish.

Is that a sunset monti I see too? Let me know when it's big enough to frag and we'll do some trading. The Hyd is doing very well. Looks cool in the actinics. Thanks Bud.

Looking good! It didn't take long for you to change it from when I was over. It looks like cutting the stand worked good for ya. I'm still waiting for my lightbulb, then ill make a thread for my tank
