New Additions Video: Green-Tip Hammer & Ocellaris Clownfish

Rate this Entry
This is my first aquarium video. Nothing special except two of my new additions:



For several weeks I've kept a Caulastrea and a green-tip hammer coral in quarantine and I decided that it was now safe to introduce them to my tank. The hammer coral I picked up from a local club member. I was expecting a small head of coral, but he handed me a huge deli container with a 4-inch tall frag. It's now the largest piece in my tank and it's just a gorgeous addition.

On the same day I introduced two frags into the tank, I also picked up a captive-bred ocellaris clownfish. The little guy is less than an inch and he started eating almost right away. Two days later took a liking to my new hammer coral. My neighbor suggested I call him Pat after Julia Sweeney's SNL character, so there you go, it's Pat!

Owning a fish the past couple days has made it easier to wake up in the morning. I'm a wannabe morning person but I have a lot of trouble doing it. So far this week I've woken up earlier than usual, thinking, "I have to feed the damn fish before I leave for work." Corals are much less demanding. I'm hoping that this side effect will last

    That is a couple of awesome new additions. I do the same thing as far as waking up early to check on the tank. My main goal is to wake up and take a head count so I can make sure everything is still kicking and nothing has been knocked over that needs to be reset up after my starfish, urchin or cucumber goes on a godzilla rampage.
