This one used to home a bright yellow mantis shrimp until recently, but I had problems with aiptasia and valonia and couldn't put pepps or mithrax in with the mantis. Eventually the pests got me down so I rehomed the mantis, stripped the tank down and started again.
Tha plan is to have a species tank. I put in new rock and sand, and a few softies after the cycle. A pair of boxers followed, a peppermint shrimp and a mithrax crab along with a mix of snails.

A few weeks ago I got a largish Heteractis Magnifica anemone which has decided it wants to 'foot' in the sand at the back of the tank behind the rock :rolleyes5:

I am hoping to add 5/6 pink skunk clowns from Macca in a couple of weeks time :hurray:

For the moment this is how it's looking

I finally got my group of pink skunks albeit in 2 batches. 2 went in last week and I picked up 3 from Macca today. Unbelievably they were all swimming around together within 10 mins and are all nestled in the nem for the night now :hurray:
Here's a quick vid taken 30 mins after the 3 went in today
