Finally Caught Some

Hello all! I a relative newbie to SW but since I just recently moved to Guam I find myself snorkeling two to three times a week. I was having a hell of a time catching fish for my tank, but I've got it figured out. I currently have 3 puffers, a yellow box puffer, about 10 juvenile Damsels, a brown tang, a brittle star, blue sea star, a cardinal (I think), and a couple of hermit crabs. I know this sounds like alot, but they're doing great. Here's some pics!

WOW that is a good amount of fish.
neat that you can go get your own with out worrying about how they are caught...
what size tank are you using ?

I have a 55 gallon. When the Damsels get bigger I'm gonna put them back. I plan on cycling the fish through every few months so I can keep a nice variety. Oh yeah, I've got a couple of Blennies and an urchin too! I think the blue star is going back tomorrow because he's too big.

keep in mind you have to aclamate them too when you release

And be carefull with the box fish!If he gets stressed or is dieing,he gives a poisonis gas that will kill everything in your tank and so powerfull that you have to clean the tank out bleach it twice and start again!
