Hey ! Loved the shots of the setup. Isn't it just like getting "candy at Christmas"? I see a lot of stuff I got in my package too..the little gobie has been hiding out in one of my caves for a few days now. I hope he will come out soon. The brittle stars are amazing - I didn't see any pics on your post, but I'm not surprised, because they immediately find a nice rock, and go into seclusion (" I vant to be ahlone, dahlink!!"). But the cucumbers...eeewwwww!!! If they didn't do such a good job cleaning the sand, I think I'd leave them for the garbage collector !! (Doggie poop!!) But the pink-tipped anemone is just what I wanted for the Nemos I've been planning for. Do you think they will adopt it??

It's a 50/50 shot. My wife has false percs that host her haitian pink tip, but my buddy has a pair of true percs that his florida condi refuses to let host in him.

[figuerres]

the small fish is a goby, I can get the exact name later...

condy's and clowns -- generaly will not work -- clowns can host of many but not all types of anemonies...

and the gorgonians are fairly common from what I have seen... I have them also...

that coral, I think I can get a name for it later... I've seen it one or two times....... kinda a brain

[sytanek]

Yeah Ive figured out most of them. I know how the condy/clown thing goes, my wife is a lucky one who's clowns lover her condi. If I could get my condi to quit thinking the powerhead is food.... He might not die...:(

GOBY:

good book for TBS folks is
Reef Fish
Identification
Florida Caribbean Bahamas

By Paul Humann
ISBN 1-878348-07-8

he also has books on criters and corals

fish book pages 242 and 243 show that goby.

Tiger Goby, Gobiosoma macrodon
size 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches
max 2 inches
depth 1 to 20 feet

that coral -- I am not sure but the ones that seem close are
Favia - like favus or matthaii
or
genus MONTASTREA

probably a favia of some kind....
