Our Other "Babies"

We have a had quite a few requests to put up pictures of our fish tank, so here are some older pictures. We are currently have a little problem with hair algae (okay, it's not so little anymore), so we don't have any new pictures and our camera likes to be temperamental, so we will figure something out and get some up here!


The tank (before the hair algae problem)Bumble (the clown fish) and Orchy (Pronounced Orky)
Orchy is in the bottom right hand corner (he's an Orchid Dottyback)
Sorry about Bumble...he doesn't know how to take a good picture!
Watermelon Mushroom that Tim gave us. We now have about 7 of these!
Plate Coral that Mike's parents gave us.
Align Center
Here is the plate eating. Mike has to cover it or the cleaner shrimp will rip the fish out of the plate's mouth.
Mike got this zoanthid rock from someone in Bellevue for $15 and it is almost full of polyps now. They are really neat! I will be updating this picture as soon as possible.
This rock is awesome! It has so many mushrooms on it! They are really growing too! It also has some other corals on it, but you'd have to ask Mike the names of them!
Trumpet Corals
Xenia (with the cleaner shrimp below "Jaque")

I wish we had an updated picture of these zoanthids! The rock is completely covered now! It will be one of the first pictures that I take when my camera stops being stupid!

Mike's favorite...the Armor of God zoanthid...it's gorgeous!
The picture doesn't do it justice!

While most of the zoanthids have done quite well in our tank, the Super Nova's have not done well and only one polyp is left. It's beautiful though!

Here are some zoanthids that Alex gave us.
Eagle Eye Zoanthids...these look amazing now (when they aren't covered in hair algae at least)
R.I.P.
"Bubbles"
My favorite fish even though we didn't have him very long!
And here is one of the fish that killed Bubbles. Mike promptly got rid of him and his two brothers.

And if you are wondering...I do name most of our fish! I even named most of Mike's parents' fish!!!
