Well, we took a week off to mourn, but all the while down here in the Big Easy I was setting up a 5 gallon salt water tank. New sand, new live rocks, new hermit crabs...
the works! And last weekend I finally got two clownfish, an orange one and a black one (which looks brown, but he'll darken as he grows). We call them the OC and the LBC (little brown clownfish), both of which are also southern Californian locales.
Amazingly, one of the rocks I bought ended up sprouting something I'd never seen on our rocks. Turns out they were corals!! That's pretty sweet, since they sell these same corals for about $30.
Unfortunately the other rock also brought with it a nuisance anemone, which are extremely difficult to eradicate. Here's a picture of the LBC:

here for a good shot of the OC. I'm really excited to have fish again! And Fish Stuff Friday!

It is now apparent to me that Bil is a good-luck charm associated with all things marine. All the pounds and pounds of live rock we’ve bought and we’ve never gotten free corals. He buys some on his own, and bang. Forest. I went last week to get some new fish that I ORDERED, but apparently they didn’t place my order. Bil goes to random fish store, gets two awesome fish.
