ive been procrastinating a while but heres some tank photos.. i got all kinds of excuses the glass had salt on it i havnt scraped algea blah blah blah
its not so aestethic like a lot of reef tanks but its a pretty goot representation of a realistic bottom setting i think,, a lot of local stuff and a few nonnatives mixed in (i cant help it i work in a marine aquarium shop)
the leopard wrasse wondering wtf is up with the camera, this is my only fish but hes a b.a and is considered very hard to keep alive (casue they usually wont eat) i have to feed him prawn eggs and other over the top garbage)
a gorgonian(sea fan) alot of you florida guys are probably used to seeing, and if your lucky seeing a hogfish down in it.. this requires a lot of food becasue it is not solely photosynthetic like a lot of the corals are
a hawaiian blue leg hermit crab (its an asshole and one of the few non local inhabitants of the tank)
next to him is a local hermit (one of the few local species of hermit that doesnt tear everything apart)
a porcelain crab,, in the camera its not easy to see but it has two nets instead of mandibles that it uses to filter feed from the open water, it eats basically what the seafan does. also it has a commensual relationship with the blue discosoma mushroom its sitting on. things avoid the mushroom and therefore it gets protection
briarium,, another local soft coral that is really common on south florida reefs
