Just added this yellow/green mini maxi anemone. It's still not open, but the lime color is real nice in person. I'll try to get a better shot when it's open fully.

I'm really into Maxi-Minis these days. They are pretty awesome. I've got one in my work nano tank, I love feeding it.

That is a really nice green

Nice!

Thanks guys! It has a lot of yellow tint in person. My anemone shrimp seems to love it!

My new additions.

Thanks I hope they all do good! Especially that acan. A little dissapointed that the wrasse was more than likely identified incorrectly.

So I ended up getting rid of the pennant/social/whatever wrasse because the bullying got worse towards my pintail. It took my several days to trap that guy. Only reason I got him is because he chased my pintail into the trap and I caught em both. Lol. I ended up getting a pretty cool RFA for the wrasse and also traded a couple little frags for these little guys. Thanks again @iiluisii, these frags look great.

I'll get a photo of the RFA up soon.

New derasa clam and red Zoas I picked up a few days ago. I should be getting a blue flasher wrasse Friday if they send it. The last one died overnight at the LFS due to bad swim bladder issue.

Very nice Paul! That Derasa is awesome!

Thanks, I thought so too! Hope it stays happy in my tank. I had a clam (can't remember the name) once before that faded away on me a good while back. It was a beauty. This derasa looks SOOO good in the daylight/whites.

This time around the blue flasher came in looking healthy for the exception of some minor fin nips. I was also able to pick up this cool little bumble bee shrimp that we've been trying to find in the huge tank it was housed in at the LFS. Very happy with both of these additions.

This is the first one I've seen in person as well. I've heard of them before but though they only ate echinoderms tube feet like their cousin the harlequin. Turns out they don't require it and will eat other meaty foods. He's possibly my favorite shrimp so far. I place him above my harlequin just for the reason I don't have to buy starfish to feed.
