Tank has corals in it, most of which had yet to open when I took these pics. The zooanthids are starting to open. Most of them have lost their color as the previous owner told me he lost a majority of his live stock when his A/C went out for a few days.

For those of you not from Texas, we have had anywhere from 100 to 105 degree weather for the last twenty days, so it makes sense why it bit the bullet.

Its a 34g solana with 150w metal halide pendant. I havent really decided which way I am going to go with this tank. Not like I can go predator with it, so it might just be a nano-reef. Although I have thought about moving my sebae anemone into it after I make sure it doesnt go into mini cycle, and then adding a pair of sebae, saddle, or clarkii clowns in an attempt to get them to host it.

As far as live stock goes, he kept his true percs and all that remains are some conchs and mini brittle stars.

Nothing quite like a dark room and a new tank is there buddy? I love that hazy blue light. Just picked up a pair of saddleback's today for $30...they are awesome fish man.

What do you think my chances are of getting them to host my sebae? I have read that they need to be wild caught in order for it to even happen.

I dont know...I quick checked with our sticky: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162217

But not much help there. It did say that in the wild the sebae anemones hosted clarks...which I would say are SIMILAR to saddles. Both from the same genus. So if captive bred I would say there would be a good chance of them hosting it.

Thats cause its hidden in the seldom traveled invert coral LR area... Clarks are nice, I like to get them very dark though. Took me awhile to get the two I have now.
