And you thought i didn't have a saltwater aquarium.:rocol:
 
Dough

Dough: yellow tail damsel fish (Chrysiptera parasema) in front of my long tentacle Hydnophora (Hydnophora pilosa) SPS

yellow tail damsel a very attractive small schooling fish, almost impossible to kill in the aquarium and will become territorial. if added, add last so to minimize fighting. often sold as a"start up cycle fish" due to there hardy nature and ability to overcome unstable water quality

Hydnophora pilosa- a SPS coral that has a shaggy appearance due to its long tentacles. Very adaptive coral but prefers strong lighting and good water movement. very aggressive toward other corals usually in brown or a bluish green. not often sold in the fish'coral trade

My babe porcupine puffer. (Diodon holacanthus)
Porcupine like to land on rock or bottom of the tank to rest after food time or when they feel like to.
It has its own personality, mine like to look into my camera and smile hehe.
it can grow up to 20"+ in the wild, but mostly to 15" in aquarium.
favorite food:snails, shrimp, clam, squid...etc,
I don't know if all of them do this, but mine will jet water to my face when I play "catch the food" with it.

Food soaked in vitamins/garlic twice a week (very small amounts), Rotifers 1-2x's/week (small amounts), Phytoplankton 2x's/week(small amounts)
