4 weeks in, another video! The fish waiting in line to get cleaned by the skunk cleaner shrimp is one of my favourite things to watch (: Also, tang shit is really damn a lot.

Looks like you dont have to cross your finger...the tricolor already looks purple enough :chair:

Observe the tissue closely...I love the texture shown under macro, isn't pretty ? :)

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

Youdontknowme: initially a Canon 500D, recently 6D/ 100mm macro/ settings--variable. It mainly depends on the amount of light on the subject (my maxspect razor is set to mimic a day night cycle and I don't mess with it, also some parts of the tank get more light than others) and what depth of field I want to achieve. Hope this helps! (:

Its week 10 everyone! Have been a little too fast and furious with the purchases, if I do have to say so myself. Oops!

Anyway extremely excited to share my latest buys with everybody -

IMG_9272-1.jpgIMG_9280-2.jpg

Not very big ones but I really love the colours.

Anyway, I would like to ask for some advise from everyone. I have been contemplating buying a sea hare, but I read online that it can excrete some toxic substances when antagonised and is also very difficult to keep. Does anyone have any experience? What would you all suggest?

Very nice colorful pratas. I tried keeping it 2-3 times. All failed and later on only to find out it was killed due to attacks by a "giant" crab hiding in one of the crevices.

I dun think its that difficult to keep it alive as long as there's plenty of algae around. But u must be sure there's no predator hunting it down in your tank.

Thanks for the advice! I decided to go for it and got one over the weekend. It has since disappeared in my tank... Hahaha
