I've got 2x RBTA that i bought from Anthony Calfo, 1x GBTA, and 1x small speckled BTA that was just added a day ago.

You can see my BSJF peeking his head out, as of lately he has been venturing out of his hole to touch the waterline for no apparent reason.

Mystery Wrasse is skiddish, nobody likes him around because he is a trouble maker! ...

Hello everyone! I have some updates for my Elos and Mr.Aqua, sans pictures unfortunately.

Elos -

• Monti caps were devoured by Nudibranchs (didnt realize they were so small !).
• Alk related crash wiped out the Acros (switching salt mixes I presume)
• Added sand! Tank seems more stable since adding it.
• In the process of catching the Chromies, one down two to go.
• Added a Blue Spot Jawfish - 2 months and going strong.
• Lowered temp to 77*F, cooling fans kick on at 77.5*F.
• Added

Added my Helfrichi today! I was expecting him to hide immediately and not come out for a while... which was not the case. He hovered in the middle of the water column and all of the resident fish came up one by one to greet and check him out. Male maroon touched nose to nose for a few seconds and I think they will be best of friends. No aggression to speak of which is awesome. When I first added the Mystery Wrasse, everyone picked on him for a few days so I'm really glad with how things turned out. ...

I originally wanted to take a purist approach and only house Clowns and BTAs, however, the more I looked at my rockscape the more I envisioned a SMALL variety of corals. I would hate to waste PAR and flow on an anemone that can adapt to low/low conditions, so here is a coral dream team.

Assorted BTAs on left side of tank
Zoas on the foreground "arm" of rocks
Table Acros right in the focal point, high flow, directly under lights.
Monti Caps all down ...

Got this little guy today off of divers den. My plan is to put him in the RSM until the Elos finishes up it's cycle. In the mean time I need to make one of those screen covers im afraid...

What do you guys think? Should I play it safe or grow a pair? I dont want to ruin my clean tank!
