Blue and green zoanthids.
This is some sort of sponge. It's like a free filter for my tank.
This is my first decent shot of a feather duster. This thing is cool to watch.

This snail lives in the sand. It only comes up when I feed the tank.

A few more reef shots because I was bored.

Sharing is caring!!!

The girls enjoyed home made hot coco. Mine was supposed to be the white mug. They work quick and they work in groups. I never got any.



We just got hammered with snow and might get more. Grill #1 really wanted to play in the sand box.

Making cookies. They worked really hard on these.

These are called featherdusters. They are worms with modified gills that feed on small particles in the water. I have around a billion of them in my tank. I named them all.

I forget what kind of mushrooms these are, but they are cool and blue/purple.

Random mound of zoanthids. I love these guys!

This is one of the more peaceful hermit crabs. This is a scarlet reef hermit. I have four of them in my tank.

This is a nice but aggressive yellowtail damsel. I'd take this guy out of my tank, but that is mission impossible.

This is a hairy mushroom magnified many times taken under actinic lighting.

This is an emerald crab. This is one of the few "real" crabs that I consider to be reef safe. Some crab species are fine when they are small and then become destructive as they mature.

I am back at photographing the tank. I have a real macro lens now and I have been trying to test it out.

This This pretty much sums up the last few weeks. I came up with this idea while watching Operation Repo. I want to start a Operation Repo fan club.





Grill #1 made this Santa ornament at school. It's the nicest one on the tree.
