This other hobby of mine is quite amazing, the color and life can't be matched by anything else in nature, and like having your Orchids re-bloom, its very rewarding...

That's a neat saltwater aquarium.

Nothing beats seeing reefs in real life, though.

Hey, Jeffery how large is your tank?

I used to grow SPS and Xenia.

My favorites were Acropora cytherea or Acropora anthocercis (whichever they were).

I always loved growing the large Fiji Xenias, but they were very difficult to get going.

My favorite reef fish were the Cirrhilabrus spp. and the Paracheilinus wrasses (Fairy Wrasses and Flasher Wrasses, respectively).

I also loved the tiny reef gobies from the genus Eviota. I used to have a small group of three Eviota pellucida, they were so easy to keep.

Its a 75 gallon, I never was big on wrasses, but when I had more fish I kept a cleaner wrass, I keep only a few fish, the 3 I had are in there for a purpose, I will try a pumping xenia 1 of these days
