Moorish Idol & Regal Tang (Dory)

[spanair]

Here is some pics of some of my corals. This one I bought yesterday green plate coral. Very much like an anenome, it also stings . It isint fully opened yet & you can also see the starfish on the top left corner trying to hide .

Here you can see 3 corals.

Xenam pulse, green & brown button coral & 2 mushrooms, one is a baby so you cant see it in this pic.

Arashi thanks so very much I adore him, always have seen I saw him first at the LFS long before finding nemo...

Sorry the pic is so dark, it's due to all the sun light inside the background affects the picture quality on this crap camera

Keep us posted on the Idol. These are, as most say an impossable fish to keep and only a few people have had them for any length of time. Keep it feeding and on a varied diet. Good luck.

lovely fish and tank you have there.

Thanks Ste, so far he has been eating brine, mysis, etc fine. And he also loves to eat the sponges on the live rock. Hopefully he will remain okay. I sure hope so, always drempt of having an idol.

I will keep you all updated

Wow, thanks spanair for the info. With one quick glance anyone would have thought they were the same fish. But after looking at it for a while.... The Idol is too beautiful to be even compared to the longfin!!
Oh, I have one more question.... roughly how much did you spend altogether on your marine tank (rocks, coral, fish, the tank itself, salt, skimmer....)?
Sorry about being so nosey spanair but I am also thinking of setup one like that....the only problem is $$$.....so if you could give me a rough amount, I can start savin'!!

Thanks for the info once again spanair!!
