few additions from about a half and a week ago. visited the brother in law's 180g tank and got quite a few frags. i started placing some of the frags on saturday but then ran out of super glue. UGH! will have to continue at another time.

if anyone is able to ID some of these zoo's that would be great!

pictures taken just 2 days shy of the tank's 3mo birthday!

also some bad news - the bicolor blenny, frank, that i added last week kicked the bucket within 5 days. not sure what happened really. water params are in check and nothing else in the tank showing any signs of stress. everything else doing well for that matter.

pic from a few weeks ago but i lol'd nonetheless. hermit crab must've base jumped from a rock above and got stuck.
