The green chromis are fairly popular in salt water tanks as they are an active schooling fish that cheapy adds a lot of color to the tank. But the jawfish, now called Hermon, is a fish I had to get after seeing them in Billy’s tank. He buries himself in the sand and fortifies his entrance with rocks and debris from the tank bottom. At first, he kept building in locations that was hard to see him – I refuse to have any more cool fish that hide. So I messed with his forts until he relocated to his current spots – well in view from the front.

I also finally replaced my 10k light, so now I’m having a bit of a rapid bloom of algae. I found a new salt water only store in Lake Stevens where they have in stock rare items like sand sifting starfish. I got some more crabs on the way, so things should get back under control shortly. I should have cleaned the glass at least before taking the vid clip, but well, I’m lazy sometimes. An impulse buy while at the store, I got Bozo (the evil clown fish) an anemone to call home. The anemone has moved himself to an odd spot, but he’s got a firm grip – so I think he’s happy, he’s in front so I’m happy; hopefully he hangs in there…
