nice, how do you like the hawk fish? I am thinking of adding one as my last fish.

I was leery about getting him given their propensity for eating crustaceans, but I haven't had a problem so far so I would say I am a very satisfied customer. I always liked the bicolor blenny I had and was looking for a similar behavioral pattern (would have gotten another bicolor if I could have found a healthy one) so I ultimately settled on the hawk. It is really enjoyable to watch it dart in and out in between perching. If you don't mind that it isn't constantly swimming (which I love) I would say go for it.

I'll try to get a better shot of him from the side.

Nice pics, love the yellow striped Maroon, my favorite clowns.

I really like the gold bar maroons the best aesthetically, though behaviorally they probably aren't as interesting as the ocellaris I have in my nano cube at school.

Nice yuma and nice clown.

Thanks ram. The clown is actually the first marine fish I ever purchased. She has been with me through two moves and for a good 5 years now. If you look carefully at the ricordia picture you can see it has left a couple little spawns. The neon green is another (different) ricordia of which there are 3 in the general area.

I'm also curious if any of you even spotted the emerald crab in the first picture; they blend in really well!

True...that tank was taken down in Aug 07...I now have a 90 which is progressing not much at all...it is just kind of poking along. I am still trying to decide whether to go SPS and if I do so, how to get the money to do it...
