So... we all know how it goes. I went to visit a bunch of shops yesterday, absolutely sure I wasn't going to buy anything. I just wanted to look at some fish.
One of the very local shops had about 6 big pieces of green Montipora from local waters (Thailand, which is where I live). The prices were $13 a piece and I just couldn't walk away from that, no way! So I bought one big piece, which is approximately 10-12" at its widest. To be honest, I'm wondering now if I should buy another one today as it is very rare to see these here in the shops.. The others were flat pieces (but big) whereas this one has a bit of layering so I thought it was the best.
Does anyone know what type of Montipora this is?

Beautiful piece! Sorry I cannot ID it for you though.

Today I had someone come over and build a screen to cover the top of my DT. After having a Barlett jump out (plus a Mystery Wrasse that I bought and it jumped out of a shop tank that was holding it for me) I decided I couldn't risk it any longer. I will have a lot of Anthias and Wrasses in my tank after the fallow period (which ends next week!). It uses a custom built frame to fit the top of the tank perfectly and a nylon screen (not metal).
Here are some photos:

This tank is stunning. I used mesh found at home depot for keeping the birds off your strawberrys. Its about 1/4 inch mesh. I made my frames from bug screen framing kits.

The fallow period on my tank is now over! 2 months seemed like 6. 25 fish (give or take) died from a massive Ich breakout, and only 4 survived. 3 are now back in my DT and the other (a Red Coris) I will give away. My 2 clowns and Black Leopard Wrasse are happy as hell to be out of that hospital tank! I'm really surprised that this Black Leopard ended up being one of the survivors -- they have a reputation for being very difficult but this little guy is a major fighter. He never stopped eating and while the others dropped like flies around him, he kept on going (through hypo-salinity, Cupramine, etc). I knew the clowns would make it (they were my first marine fish too, btw, purchased about 2.5 years ago now) but the Leopard is a real surprise.

Looking good! I am glad your fish are all happy and healthy in your DT. That brain looks a lot like a neon green favia, but someone may need t confirm that for me.
