I know I don't talk too much about my fish. Honestly Im a coral person and the fish give it that added touch and help to keep the reef clean and corals fed. Never been crazy about super rare and expensive fish but do tip my hat to those who keep those rarities. My fish line up is pretty simple. Here is a list of what I have as of now.

Yellow Tang Zebrosoma flavescens
Sleeper Gobies x 2 Valenciennea strigata
Blue Green Chromis x 2 Chromis viridian
Hoeven's Wrasse Halichoeres melanurus
Green Wrasse Halichoeres chloropterus
Yellow Wrasse Halichoeres leucoxanthus
Purple Dottyback Pseudochromis porphyreus

I love favias . I saw some huge brains diving in Jamaica and I wish I could have like a softball-sized brain as a show piece in my new tank .

You take great pics Andy! What are the purple ones with the green skirt, right above the Armor of Gods (I think)

Awesome coral but no that's a cyphastrea. Though they may have a meteor shower favia out there but the one I'm familiar with is a cyphastrea. Medium light and good parameters.

Took a stroll up to Trenton, New Jersey today to visit with Reef Brite. My Halide Hybrid had one of the bulbs not firing and could not fix it my self. Long ride north but well worth the trip. Top notch customer service!

When I lived in northwestern new jersey (I was actually born there) there were no salt water fish or coral stores anywhere within an hour of where I lived. Wish they had them back then. It's nice that you could find a good place in South Jersey

As far as I knew there were no companies that built equipment for them either

Went to Hightstown far a few while my light was being worked on. Small little scenic town with a lot of small businesses. Could't find any Coral shops around the area.
