You know what this tank needs? A scolly. Oh. Heck. Yes.
I looked them up. Guess who put scollys on her stock list??
Fuge will get a wet test tomorrow. I'll post pix of that tomorrow & the stock list.

Get one for me while you're at it
I've seen how expensive they are and it is something else.
If I had one and it grew well enough to frag, I think I'd be very popular.
Here's a draft of my livestock list for the 8g. This isn't a final list.
CUC
Banded trochus snail - 1
Nassarius - 1
Cyraea spp (money cowrie) - It's an interesting species, just 1
Mithrax crab - 1, but only if it behaves, otherwise it dwells in quaranteen
Calcinus elegans (Electric blue hermit) - 1
or
Calcinis sp. (Electric orange hermit) - 1
I may cut a crab or two from the list and maybe add instead porcelain crabs. They come in may colors and can be kept in groups.
Lysimate amboinensis (skunk cleaner) - a pair
Fish, I have no clue. I like a goby/pistol shrimp pair. People have recommended a damselfish. I'm undecided. I think I can have like 2 fish without a problem.
Corals - like the 2.5g, I'm starting off easier. This is by no means a list where everything would be added at once, but gradually over time. Most of the corals are peaceful with a few exceptions. Some of them require mature, very well run systems. I'll start with the easier ones in the group and them gradually switch them out for more difficult species.
Rhodactis inchoata (tonga blue) - these things are really beatiful
Ricordea yuma - The 36g will feature Ricordea florida, so I figure why not put the other species here, and it's beautiful
Seriatopora histrix (pink bird's nest coral) - right for the tip top and to be added when the system is mature.
Caulastrea furcata (Candy cane) - I like the green one best
Briareum sp (green star polyps) - it looks cute and is not so hard
Montipora capicornis (Montipora cap) - to add later.
Scolymia vitiensis (Scoly coral) - This is expensive, but not to bad, semi-agressive
Stylophora pistillata (cat's paw coral) - for a more mature tank
Sarcophyton sp (umbrella leather coral) - not sure on this.
Zoanthids - This is probably the species, along with the shrooms above, that I'll start off with, an easy coral that likes bright light. Then I swap it off for more difficult species.
Acropora - another coral for a mature system
I personally think that some of these are going to get too big, and I'd like to narrow the above down somewhat. Like I said, I'm starting with the easier ones first.

Back to the drawing board. Man those cute refugiums from Drs. Foster and Smith are looking really good right now...
