White Cheek Tang fish
Description: The Whitecheek Tang, is also known as the Gold-rimmed Surgeonfish or Powder black tang. The Whitecheek Tang is shy when introduced to the aquarium and will require suitable hiding places to refuge in if threatened. The Whitecheek Tang can be finicky when it comes to adjusting to eating prepared foods, so a tank with a flourishing algae crop or live rock will ensure it gets enough to eat during the acclimation process. Like most tangs, this species can be aggressive toward surgeonfish tankmates once it acclimates, especially members of its own kind (keep only one per tank) Minimum Tank Size: Requires a 70 gallon or larger aquarium with a number of hiding places and plenty of room to swim Feeding and Diet: In nature it feeds almost entirely on brown macroalgae and should be offered a wide a variety of foods including plenty of algae.

Vanuatu Live Rock
Descripion: Vanuatu live rock has a very rugged appearance that is excellent for aquascaping a new reef aquarium or for adding to an existing aquarium. For Vanuatu Live Rock we recommend only 11/2 -2 pounds pounds per gallon. For aquascaping, it is acceptable to alter the shapes and sizes of the rock with a hammer and chisel. This will not damage the integrity of the rock , or anything living within it. Please, just make sure you wear safety glasses. Vanuatu live rock will color up with more unique colors than normal Fiji rock. You will see purple, pink, red, yellow, and green coralline algae. When rocking your reef tank, it is acceptable to combine a few different islands rock. You may also alter the sizes and shape of your live rock with a hammer and chisel. This will not damage the integrity of the rock, nor it's inhabitants. Please be careful to wear eye protection if you are chiseling live rock

Unicorn Surgeon Fish
Description: The Unicorn Tang is also known as the Blue spined Unicorn Tang. The horn of the Unicorn develops when the fish is approximately 6 inches in size. Their color is silver as a juvenile and turns to a olive green hugh as the fish matures to its adult coloration. Its shape also will change from a more oval shape as a juvenile to a more bullet shape as it turns to an adult. Unicorn Tangs are much sought after by hobbyists, but not often collected. It needs lots of swimming room, not a tank cluttered with décor. Young individuals such as would be suitable for a home aquarium look little like the spectacular pictures of the giant specimens often seen in books, and have virtually no "horn"-- you simply do not see this in the trade. Unicorn tangs are generally passive, making good community fish. In the wild, juveniles feed on algae while adults eat zooplankton Minimum Tank Size: This handsome fish is very active; thus, it is important to provide it with plenty of swimming space. A minimum recommended tank size is 180 gallons Feeding and Diet: Herbivore Reef Compatibility: Yes Level of Care: Moderate

Tomini Tang fish
Description: One of the easiest saltwater fish to keep after acclimated, the Tomini Tang is a great fish for beginners with a sufficient sized aquarium. It is also the smallest of the Tangs, which makes it a great addition to the average home reef aquarium. The Tomini Tang is a typical member of the Ctenochaetus genus, meaning it is generally mild mannered and a good fish for a mixed community setting. They are also known to be a very effective grazer in the reef tank, keeping algae under control. Tomini Tangs will not bother not a single coral, clam, or invertebrate. When keeping more than one species of Tang, it is best to add them at the same time to a larger aquarium. When adding multiple Tangs to the same aquarium, it is best to have the Tomini in place prior to adding Tangs of a different genus Minimum Tank Size: requires a 50 gallon or larger aquarium with a number of hiding places and plenty of room to swim Feeding and Diet: In nature it feeds almost entirely on brown macroalgae and should be offered a wide a variety of foods including plenty of algae.

Tibican Angel fish
Description: The Tibicen Angelfish, is also referred to as the Melas Angelfish or Keyhole Angelfish. A sharp dresser, with their black coloration, white vertical saucer shape or keyhole in the center, a glowing blue outline on the finnage, and finally bright yellow on the pelvic and anal fins Minimum Tank Size: Provide a 50 gallon or larger tank. Like all mini angels provide live rock with holes and caves for hiding and grazing. To do well, the Tibecen angelfish needs to be kept in a reef type aquaria. We would not suggest a fish only tank without live rock because they need the live rock type of tank to survive long term. This is commonly due to specialized diet requirements that reef aquaria provide, in the way of naturally occurring micro-crustacean populations, but in some cases, may simply be due to the more complete natural ecosystem found in reef tanks Feeding and Diet: In a saltwater aquarium they should be given a balanced diet. Variety is important, feed them foods from a wide range of food groups including Spirulina, marine algaes, one of the quality frozen angelfish preparations on the market, along with mysis or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items Reef Compatibility: Generally safe, but may nip at corals, clams, etc Level of Care: Easy

StichodactyLa Tapetum
Description: These are not died colors. This photo has not been touched up. Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone's are also called Pizza Anemone's. They are exceptionally hardy, easy to keep, and extremely simple to clone by cutting. Maxi mini carpets come from Vietnam. They came into the U.S. market about 5 years ago and only recently have the really nice colors been coming in. Unlike the mini carpet anemones, these maxi anemones come in a rainbow of colors and grow up to 5 inches. The maxi mini anemone is very easy to keep and acclimates within minutes when you introduce it into your tank. It prefers to live in rock and will move quickly to your rock work if you place it on a sand bed. A good suggestion is to have a few pieces of rubble rock around to place the anemones in so they won't move around too much. Once they are settled in to their spot with good light and decent flow, they will usually stay in one place. Most people keep their anemones under T5's, lower down in a tank with MH's, or under LED lighting. To see all the beautiful colors in Maxi Mini Carpet Anemones actinic / blue lighting is required to get the beauties to fluoresce under. Maxi mini carpets have a week sting compared to other anemones and other corals. They are not aggressive and you don't have to worry about them digesting your corals during the night, like some other corals would do. I would not advise putting them next to other types of anemones as the maxi minis will probably be damaged. You can keep several maxi mini carpet anemones together in a tank. Since they come in a variety of striking colors, a maxi mini tank is quite beautiful Diet: Though mostly photosynthetic, supplemental feedings of raw table shrimp, clam, mussel, silversides, squid and other marine based meats can be fed every few days. Pieces should be cut roughly to the size of the anemones mouth Care Level: Easy

Square Back Anthias fish
Description: The Pink square anthias is the largest of the anthias family. They can attain a size of 4-5 inches and should be housed in at least a 75 gallon tank. They are a great schooling fish and are reef safe. They are of a peaceful temperment and get along with most community fish. The male is reddish pink with a bright pink square or blotch on the side. The female is a bright orange-yellow color Minimum Tank Size: 25 gallon tank will suffice for one fish, however, if keeping a group, a 125 gallon tank should be used since the Squareback Anthias appreciates plenty of room to swim Feeding and Diet: Anthias are planktivores and feed primarily on zooplankton, tiny animals found in the water column. They benefit from several small feedings throughout the day rather than one large feeding. A healthy microinvertebrate population in the aquarium with a constant supply of food items like copepods and amphipods is beneficial but most anthias can be weaned onto frozen and prepared zooplanktons, Cyclop-eeze, mysis shrimp, baby brine shrimp and similar items. Reef Compatibility: Great for a reef aquarium! Level of Care: Moderate

The caudal fin is marine-blue highlighted by a dark, blue-black edging on the top and bottom. The male is marked with a series of vertical red stripes covering the entire pale colored body. The tail of the male is forked and is yellow with blue edges. A minimum of a 125 gallon tank or larger with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing will offer an environment in which to thrive. An exception to most angelfish, the Blackspot Angelfish will make a good reef dweller, and will not nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates). It is also more peaceful and may be kept as a mated pair, or in schools. Fish of the genus Genicanthus are the only zooplanktivores among the angelfish. The diet of the Spotbreast Angelfish should include Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angel fish formulae food Minimum Tank Size: 125 gallons Feeding and Diet: Omnivore Reef Compatible: Yes Level of Care: Moderate

Soft Coral
Soft corals, are a great start for the marine aquarist graduating from fish to invertebrate to full-blown-reef enthusiast. Many soft corals are tolerant toward aquarium conditions, relatively inexpensive, and more easily cared for than the small or large polyped true or stony corals. Soft Coral Habitat: Soft corals rely on currents to bring them their food , oxygen, and carry away their wastes. The best circulation arrangements involve wavemaking strategies that periodically vary the direction and intensity of water movements. Remember that most soft coral species are found in parts of the reef with the greatest current. Filtration: Practically speaking, reef or invertebrate systems with soft corals require good filtration. An oversized protein skimmer, source of calcium replenishment, and use of activated carbon are all important items to consider. Lighting: All species of soft coral will appreciate 2-5 watts of full-spectrum illumination for 8-10 hours per day. Feeding: All species of soft corals are known planktivores, consuming phytoplankton in the wild. All soft corals should therefore be periodically offered such small offerings.
