Peppermint shrimp and Orchid Dottyback

hi
very nices what fish u got in it eddiew or

Firefish (a bit blurry, won;t stay still), both peppermint shrimp and the Orchid in the background.

One of the clowns wants to get in on the act but won't stand still either.

Managed to get almost all the main livestock in one pic - both clowns (one sitting in his fan worm), the firefish, the dottyback and one of the peppermint shrimp.

Red mushrooms

Yellow polyps

Clove polyps under actinic light to show the fluorescence

Another coral under actinic with a peppermin shrimp. Not 100% sure what the coral is as I got it free as a couple of little buds which I just left on the sand for a while. Once it started growing a bit I super-glued it to the front of the live rock and it is thriving now.

I think it is a colt (Cladiella) or tree (Capnella) coral - under normal lighting it is cream coloured with light brown polyps.

Bikiegirl - the tank is home to a pair of Ocellaris clowns, a Firefish, an Orchid Dottyback and two Peppermint Shrimp. There are also red legged & blue legged hermits, Astrea & Cerith snails, various hitchkikers from the live rocks (stomatella, bristleworms, sea stars, etc.) and four different coloured fan worms.

In terms of corals & softies - clove polyps, xenia, two types of GSP, red & assorted mushrooms, several different types of polyp and the one shown here. Did have some scleronepthea which I bought by accident (bad boy!) which didn't survive very long. I should have know better as any of the Neptheas is difficult to keep alive and should be left for the experts (which I am not!).

Cheers, Eddie
