It's always interesting finding new things in the tank

So I've had a few losses in the tank since my last post. Sadly, mostly unnatural causes. My blue tang finally died after having a case of white spots. My hammer coral died since the naughty yellow tail damsels kept kicking sand onto it. My favourite fish punchy died from being stuck in the weir. I was so sad to come home and find him dead. my long noes butterfly died the day after.

On a happier note, I have got some new fish.



This is a sand sifting goby. (The pic was taken when he just got put in so he freaked out my goni coral) I have 2 of these now after picking up another one from Malcom this afternoon. They clean all the sand on the bottom eating all the left over food.



Alan and I have been looking for one of these for so long! He's a scooter dragonette. He is one of the main reasons we started a marine tank. We saw one at the aquarium shop when we were buying freshwater fish and thought he was the cutest thing but sadly he was saltwater. Hence, the new tank :D



Among the many random things I've found in the tank (including a sea urchin), I found this. I still have no idea what it is

Ordered a lot more goodies that should be arriving this week!
