I was just wondering what everone out there that has a Royal Gramma feeds it. I am on my second one who seems to be doing fine. The last one I had hid in the rock the whole time and wouldn't come out to eat so he starved to death. This new guy seems to tear it up though. Anyway what does...

People have asked for a list of good reef and Salt Water books http://www.thereeftank.com/books/index.htm

Does anyone know what kind of plants these are and will they be future dining for fish and inverts. The first pic is of the small purple/red stem looking plants (?). The second is of the obvious leaves growing. My 12g tank is in its 2nd week of cycling and the rock was "pre-cured".
