I have to be honest with you. Your tank is one of the nicest tanks I have seen. I like the rockscape and everything else you have done with it. Keep posting thos pics for us to check out.

Another Picture of my Goby pair and Pistol Shrimp:
I am always amazed at how cool this symbiotic relationship is....

 

[tomtoothdoc]

that's so cool...they all share the same hole/tunnel!!

 

[rookie07]

Shrimp keeps burrow large and empty, goby provieds lookout for the (basically)blind shrimp....The shrimp will always keep a tentacle/feeler on Goby, if danger is near Goby makes a move, and shrimp knows to hide in cave. This all happens in a fraction of a second...all you really see is a mini dust cloud.
I believe their Burrow to be atleast a foot long, perhaps two to three feet. There appear to be "branches" off of main tunnel, so there are multiple exit points, which the pistol(or perhaps many snails?) will slightly cover when not in use!

I made a video of Goby/Shrimp, enjoy:

[rookie07]

I think the pistol picks at corals on the sand bed.....but i'm not to concerned about those around it, for now

 

[a9reef]

I am in south Florida, and randomly drove past a fish store, went in, and I found two of the most amazing chalices I have ever seen, large 5"x5"+ colonies. I will be shipping them up to NYC, Pics to follow next week!

Phil, might it be better for you to ship it to me or Jim if you're coming back late next week? Open offer bud.

Some new Macro Shots:

 

[tomtoothdoc]

what is the first pic?
where are the pics of the new stuff you picked up in fla?

 

[rookie07]

1st picture is a Sea Cucumber, but it is an odd Cucumber that needs phytoplankton, Im not sure how long it will live without daily phyto feedings.

There are 3 pictures of chalices.
I also shipped up an acan frag, zoa frag, and a green/purple plate coral(Looked very bad after shipping, and did not make it).

Here are a few of the new piece:
