Everything seems to be happy

Don’t know if Rocky is getting sick or what, but I noticed some dark spots all over his body.  Here is a pic

Here is a closeup of Rocky. Need to figure out what camera settings I need for capturing Rocky. Rocky needs a quick shutter

Wes and I placed an order from liveaquaria last Thursday. Amazingly enough you place an order with them by 9:30 CST and they will overnight everything to you in a big cooler. Acclimation took about an hour with very few casualties. Our favorite addition is our new clown fish, Rocky, who keeps on fighting the strong current in the tank. Here is an updated full tank shot (fts)

Another enjoyable addition is the yet to be named cleaner shrimp who likes to hide in the live rock cave. S/he likes to come out for feeding time though.

The camera hasn’t captured other additions including 2 peppermint shrimp (RIP their one friend), about a dozen hermit crabs, and about 2 dozen varieties of snails. The final addition is a Hawaiian Feather Duster which is sitting in the center of the tank.

I took over a 20 gallon saltwater reef tank from Wes right before the new year.  After a 40 minute drive from Chapel Hill, and a lot of shifting around, here is the first Full Tank Shot (FTS).  Everything seems to have survived the move.
