The dramatic music made me laugh.

I may just be ignorant, but won't the anemone sting you if you touch it? It looked like you brushed up against it a few times there.

your blood shrimp can clean if your fish get ich, but not as commonly as cleaner shrimp or cleaner fish. Have you seen the goby recently? Maybe its living the life of eating pods under all the rockwork....

i dont really like the nova, and IMO definately not top of the line lights, more of middle class T5HO lights. Reflectors (rephrase, Reflector) sucks, there not individual, making you lose A LOT of light.

anyway, you could have just taken a toothpick and pierced the xenia into a rock, at least thats what i did, if you plan on more corals, i would say to remove the xenia or place it in a spot on the tank where it wont grow onto more rock. Long story short these things grow fast, doubled its size in 2 weeks for me. Some people even call these as pesty as aiptasia since they grow so fast and smother other corals. I love the look of these, but i keep them on a single rock in the sand bed away from other rocks in the tank.

goniopora and flame scallops are pretty hard to take care of, which you probably already know of by experience, hopefully you can refrain from buying these again

 

[Tommy Gun]

I have had some success with flame scallops since this one, but wound up trading it after a couple of months. I think their advertised 'electric shows' are slightly over rated, but all in all, they are a good source of red to add to a tank and obviously something a little bit different. In any case, the first one that is shown in those photos was free....as was the gonipora. However, I am starting to think about trying another one after finding some good information on how to care for them over the long term duration - well at least I was....had a bit of a hiccup today.

have you still got your moray if so any updates on him

 

[Tommy Gun]

Actually no, I do not have that moray anymore. To be honest, the trouble with the one I had, and quite a few people I have spoken to have the same problem, is that it would only eat live foods. Well, the only live food that is readily available around my area are freshwater feeders (rosy reds, guppies, goldfish), so I thought I would give someone else a go at getting it weened onto prepared foods since those freshwater feeders wouldn't be enough to keep it alive for very long.
