Thanks all. It is a Lepastrea. I like it a lot.

ozzie · Reef-Geek

Beautiful looking tank Ellen. Can't wait to see it fully stock up with corals

well done mate

chris&barb · Lost

That is one sharp looking tank

I finally got a few new pics of the tank. I am stocking it slowly as I still need to get my qt. tank set up for the clams. I found a very sweet torch coral at my LFS on Sat.

Can you believe the nerve of this nass. snail?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Looking good Ellen, I bet that snail was trying to do the same thing Ian's did the other day.....

Thanks all. Yep, it was stealing food. It doesn't matter if I throw in a little extra for them they still like to take it from the acan.

I am having a hard time deciding on a few fish for this tank. I want something different. It doesn't have to be rare or expensive, but interesting, and maybe a little challenging would be cool. I have thought about getting a pair of Oxymonacanthus longirostris (orange spotted file fish), and maybe a couple of pipe fish.

I would love to hear what you would do if this were your tank.

Thanks,

Ellen

I like tiny gobies. Pipefish would be cool. Wouldnt the file fish eat sps?

Barbara · Geekette

what about a cool little flame hawk?!

he'd have fun hopping around that nice-lookin' tank!

Yes, but I am not planning on adding any sps to this tank. I am just researching them as a possibility. They are a tough fish to get eating, but once on frozen food seem to be a hardy fish, based on my reseach thus far.

I second the gobies, they are really awesome to watch.

Im sure D3monic can give you some tips on getting them to eat.

Great. Is he keeping them? I have been reading Matt Pedersen's thread on MOFIB forum. He has had good luck keeping and breeding these fish.

I am now seriously thinking about trying a pair in this tank.
