I've made some additions. I've got 3 blue-legged hermits.... several small feather dusters on my rock and a few small snails that are also hitchers.

I got my lights today and have them temporarily(sp?) rigged up in a half sort of hood.

I added a LARGE Feather duster and a yellow-tailed damsel today. Both are very beautiful. The feather duster is right at home, the damsels a little more afraid, but it's been coming out a lot more today(the 20th). The damsel may be a bit much for the tank, but we'll see.....

I added a purple polyp today! It's a small one, GREAT size for my tank. I thought it was brown(that's what was listed on the tank) but it's really a purple color.

I also got another hitcher. A Bristleworm.

He's about 1.5 inches long. I got stuff in my tank!

---UPDATE! The polyp is brown. The are purple when they are closed. They stayed closed all night, but opened today(2/22/00)!

They are beautiful.

Well, I returned the big funky rock and got a peice of manaora? LR. It's a very nice shape and size. It's real light and porous and encrusted with a lot of goodies. It was expensive at $9.99 a pound, but i was buying very little so it's okay (besides it's got GREAT coloring). I also added a small orange mantipora and to astria snails.
