@plantmanager, I will try to take a couple of photos soon. We used to deal with a local shop whose owner would go out off shore in the Fla. Keys to catch fish for the trade. Some marine fish are quite expensive; I remember once seeing this cute little @ 1 1/2" Angel Fish in an aquarium shop with a price of $80.00 ... for that really teeny, tiny fish!! We have only 4 fish in the tank and they have been with us for quite awhile. My husband doesn't like adding stuff to the tank very often because of the hassle of having to have a quarantine tank set up to place them in for a few days before adding them to the commuity tank. The fish we currently have are a Foxface, Regal Tang, Naso Tang and a little Yellow-tail Damselfish. There are a few red-legged crabs or blue-legged crabs (or both. LOL, I don't pay much attention) and during the transfer, my husband found a shrimp that he didn't realize was still inhabiting the tank. There are a few snails and hermit crabs in there too along with corals, which I can never remember the names of. We did have a lot of grassy looking coral but it reproduced like crazy and he was always trading it to the aquarium shop for fish food and the little that was left in the tank died off. There used to be some sort of fire coral growing on a couple of the rocks; I don't know if he ever managed to remove it or not but I remember him telling me it was not good to come into contact with it because it was like a jellyfish sting ... ouch!

The tank water cleared up really nice today so I'll try to get a couple of pic's in the next few days.
