Pictures of a Reef for a Snowy Weekend
Stanley Sea asked to see my reef tank. Pictures of a tank in totality don’t work so well (lights, water, glass, crappy camera, not my skill set, etc.) so, I have done my best with selecting the creatures in the tank. Enjoy. Starting with creatures that move quickly.
This is my Percula Clownfish - best popularized by Nemo.
Firefish:
My Yellow Tang is extremely shy and hides whenever I go near the tank, so no good picture
So, a banded coral shrimp. Upside down under the rock it now lives under.
A Brocade mushroom:
Frogspawn, a large polyp stony coral (Euphyllia sp.) The specimen to the let is a Dragon’s Paw that I recently purchased, it still has not poked it’s head out of stony frag., I’m a tad concerned and am dealing with the vendor regarding its health.
A long tentacled anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis)
Pulsing Xenia sp.
Green polyps of various sp. and a pencil urchin in the lower picture
Nassarius sp. snails. Some of the photos I have of the seem a touch NSFW.
There is other stuff that is seldom seen. A rock boring spiny urchin ) lookalike the lurching that inhabit the floor of bays you’ll see snorkeling. A Tuxedo urchin which collect shells and detritus on its spines as it trundles around. And, other unknowns that appear live and then die and get eaten. I have a peppermint shrimp which is very aggressive and attacks sessile molluscs and eats them. E.g., a flame scallop I had was consumed in under 12 hours.
A cat on a pillar
Bird eating pizza
Some rabbits - Cadbury and Bossie
Some of my glass art: a bowl and a pendant
Stupid Photoshop. Had to reinstall the beast; CS5, planned obsolescence;? Then I just decided to do a linear post of the pictures. Illustrator is what I use for my Stained Glass design, it hasn’t borked out.
