First one - my husband surprised me with a sun coral today! It had been on my wishlist for Mother's Day, but I let him off the hook last weekend because he bought me a MH bulb that cost a freakin $104. So he turns up today with a Sun Coral! I haven't been able to pull myself away from the tank all day. I spent from about 3 when he got home with it till about 7 acclimating it, then feeding it in the bag, then finally moving it into the tank. I have sand sifters, so of course I can't put it at the bottom of the tank, but I put it in the middle of the tank, so it's kindof in between where the MHs light falls. It has already rewarded me with a beautiful display of open polyps! It's still wide open right now!
I also picked up a gorgeous little Pixy Hawkfish I've had my eye on for about 6 weeks. He's been in the tank at Petco for that long, so I figured he must be meant to be mine. He's fat and beautiful and friendly. I've been wanting a hawkfish for a while now and had planned on not getting one till I was ready for it to be the last fish introduced to the tank. He got bossed around a bit by the Diadema Pseudo, but he's settled in nicely now and eating and hopping about being cute.
Here's the pics!!!
