Think about if humans did that. If your wife passed on, your largest dude buddy would change gender to marry you.

Well he would know what I like

I just have to share some new pics.

Here's my tank:


My beautiful mushroom. I think the white stripes really makes the difference.


My fluffy mushrooms. They really seem to thrive.


And my beautiful clowns.

Tank looks great. Love the colors on the clowns.

In the last pic what is the green coral to the right?

The green is not a coral. It's an algae that's called spindle weed. I have som nice algae in my tank. Not only the ugly ones.

Oh cool. I like the looks of that one

That's one sweet looking tank. You should pick up a couple peppermint shrimp to take care of any aiptasia. I think I saw some in a few of the pics?

Actually I have two peppermint shrimps. They cleaned up all my aiptasia in four days. But I have recently added a little more LR, and I got aiptasia again, and now they don't seem to touch it! I took a round with vinegar in a syringe yesterday, but those new aiptasia are much more nervous than the ones I had earlier. They don't even let me come close! And the biggest ones are of course in difficult places.

It's gorgeous!

Nice clownfish pair. The tank is great.

Thanks! I have one more ID I would like to have. Does anyone know these zoas?

They are very small.

Today I've been to my first reef club meeting. Wow, there was much to learn! I did get the feeling that reef tank keepers are like clownfish though. That they are born men, and the biggest one change into a female. Because there were almost only men at the meeting, and we were only two women!

Yep thats a zoa, just got some for my tank

But what kind of zoa?

I am so happy right now. I have had a colony of green zoas since I started my tank. Today I suddenly found another species of zoas in that colony. It's a kind of zoas I've seen before, and that I have wished for (I don't know its name though). And now it has appeared in my tank for free. What's its name? And will it live peacefully together with the green zoas it lives together with now?

Can't help with the ID's but they sure are cool looking. It's always nice to get freebees.

The green on green zoas are called Radioactive Dragon Eyes & the green/reds are Watermelons.
