Yumas,

oops, another ricordea florida,

Sun corals- One of my favorites,

Zoaholic · 03-02-2005, 05:08 PM

And some zoanthids,

Zoaholic · 03-02-2005, 05:13 PM

Thanks for checking it out,
This tank was set up in November 2001, I have been keeping saltwater tanks since highschool back in the early 90s, jesus I feel old. I have always had an interest in zoanthids, but now my interests include gorgonians, suncorals, echinophyllia, acans, and ricordeas. I will be moving from western NY down to Asheville NC later this year and hope to set up a propogation/LFS if the demand down there is good enough to warrant such an endevour. I'll keep my fingers crossed

all i see are clowns... what else is on your live stoc list... or is that it

Zoaholic · 03-03-2005, 09:18 AM

Three clowns, one breeding pair.
Rainsford Gobi
Yellow Watchmans Gobi, you can see him in the bottom right of the tank pics.
Six line wrasse

I had a green serpent star, the bad ones, that was the size of a dinner plate. Finally got him out a few weeks ago when I disassembled my LR to vacuum out my CC bed. But not before he took out a three year old lawnmower gobi, 2 yellow clown gobis and my mandarin. I will slowly be restocking with the above mentioned fish.
