Just a few pictures of the tank and fish...it's been awhile

[Dirt4dinner]

well, I haven't dusted off the camera in awhile and today I got a new fish. I got a Copperbanded Butterfly on BIG TIME sale at the LFS. Hopefully he has an appetite for aiptasia as there is plenty in there for him to munch on. Anyways, here are the pics.

This one is of my SAND sifting sea star, that has been spending a lot of time climbing the walls lately. Hopefully it's not a bad sign...he looks good.


This is of my Emerald Crab, his name is Hercules. He is by far the largest Emerald crab I have ever seen in person. He is HUGE! It's tough to tell in the photo...but he is about 2" wide across the middle of his shell.


Here is the new fish.


Here are the three tank show offs. They all get along great! Hopefully they continue to act like that.

Nice fish Tyler! I especially love the Copperband! I've had mine for a couple of weeks now, and he has quickly become one of my favorites!
That is one massive crab you've got there! He's almost big enough to eat!

[Dirt4dinner]

Thanks guys. The Copperbanded is definatly a nice addition to the tank. We now have 3 large colorful fish that are constantly out and about! We also have the lawnmower blenny and six line wrasse that tend to lay low, and then my Clarkii clown that hardly ever gets out of his anemone to be seen. Overall we are REALLY happy with the tank lately. I still have my battles, like the fact that I CAN NOT keep SPS alive. I don't get it...they just slowly die off. Kind of sucks. The LPS and softies are all good though.

Tracy....I would cook up the crab but I don't have the guts to reach in there and try to get him...he isn't shy with those massive pinchers!

No pincher envy for Hercules!

Lookin good buddy keep up the good work!

It's all lookin great bud! I love ther CB! His colors are VERY vibrant!

I'm workin on my IDing skills on the other two. My first thought was a Sailfin Tang. If that is what he is, I'd say that he's fairly young since the stripes haven't changed to spots yet, but I'm probably wrong.

The Yellow guy, I first thought was a Tang as well, but I'm doubting that also
because his snout/mouth don't stick out far enough for me to feel confident on that diagnosis...

Sorry for the rambling, I'm just havin fun!

Great lookin tank! Let us know if your CB eats the Baddies or not!

K - the yellow is a juvie orange-shoulder tang ... 1 down, 1 to go! :p

And, I'm sticking w/ the sailfin on the other one!

[Dirt4dinner]

LOL, your right on Iconz. Both the tangs are VERY young fish! Sailfin, and Orange Shoulder.
