My 3" bicolor angel seems to get thrill from trying to snatch food out of my large carpet anenome. even when the same food is available elsewhere (krill, mussel, etc) he prefers to try and snatch it from the carpet anenome. he seems to like geting as close as he can without getting stung, playing 'chicken' with the carpet anenome. 12-02-2007 16:56 by yanton Linda, I'm taking on your idea and setting up a new 6ft marine tank with a bare bottom which should help keep it much cleaner. I'm going to use it for larger marine fish, as the main occupant is my 'ugly yet handsome' anglerfish which is bright orange and will eat anything not large enough. 12-02-2007 16:59 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:03 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:05 by yanton the anglerfish is fascinating when hunting, the vibrates his lure to try and attract a fish. amazing fish! pictures above aren't mine, but almost the same as those I keep. 12-02-2007 17:20 by yanton got my camera out and got a few pictures of my marine inverts setup. first one is my green carpet anenome (in exhaled mode): 12-02-2007 17:21 by yanton here are some pictures of my red footed bubble tip anenome, luv it! 12-02-2007 17:21 by yanton it likes to huddle between some rocks. 12-02-2007 17:22 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:23 by yanton funny how my pair of clowns are just not interested in making either anenomes their new home. here is a nice group of green mushrooms: 12-02-2007 17:24 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:24 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:24 by yanton the caulerpa prolifera are really healthy, and helping to keep nitrates down. next is a general shot: 12-02-2007 17:25 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:26 by yanton ... 12-02-2007 17:27 by yanton nice to have a nice display of nature in your living room! 12-02-2007 17:28 by yanton i have 2 gravel-sifting gobies, they are cave digging - trying to undermine the whole display. 12-02-2007 17:29 by yanton lighting is by arcadia lumiare with 4 T5 white tubes. filtration is by 2 externals (eheim and fluval fx5). skimmer is mounted within the aquarium - the rockwork is built around it. 12-02-2007 17:57 by Neutralle Lovely tank Yanton, that Caulerpa looks great, i cant grow it it my tank as the tangs go at it like "pigs at strawberries"!!lol.

The picture doesn't bring out the startling colour. 15-02-2007 14:37 by yanton another picture, with an anthias wondering what the new habitant is: 15-02-2007 14:38 by yanton also got this purple sponge 15-02-2007 14:39 by yanton interesting picture of my blue starfish wondering over the front glass: 15-02-2007 14:42 by yanton notice the foot of my gereen carpet anenome, it has rooted itself deep in the gravel - I have no chance of moving it now - frustrating as it is facing the wrong way! It is great fun feeding him. The surface is extremely sticky. 15-02-2007 14:43 by yanton also got a nice maroon clown, in hopes he will settle into my redfoot bubble anenome. 15-02-2007 14:46 by yanton a general shot: 15-02-2007 14:48 by yanton ... my sand sifting goby checking out the new arrival (maroon clown) 15-02-2007 14:50 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:51 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:51 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:51 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:52 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:55 by yanton ... the crinoid in more usual daytime look - curled up - they apparently come out more at night (like some of our chat room members). 15-02-2007 14:56 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:57 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 14:59 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 15:00 by yanton ... 15-02-2007 15:04 by yanton and finally for today, this shot shows the skimmer collection cup popping out of the top, above the luminair lighting (which is fitted flush instead of upon the legs, to give higher spec light to the caulerpa). The skimmer is housed inside the tank with rocks around it. works superb. 15-02-2007 15:18 by yanton couldn't resist adding this one, my orange anglerfish hiding in some caulerpa (a different tank) waiting for some tasty morsel. It's amazing when he starts fishing a waving around his lure. couldn't get a close-up.
