This one nice shot. Marginalis asking for owner's attention!

yes this was taken top down so the fish was swimming nearly on it's side.

i know it sounds ridiculous but this marginalis butterfly is the most manja fish in my tank.

it's a super attention seeker and always swim up to whoever's hand that's in the water. don't even need to be mine.

sometimes it will nibble on my thumb or fingers. begging for food. it will allow me to lift it out of the water with my palm and will swim around my hand.

needless to say, a betta box in my tank is like a playground. the minute it hits the water, every fish swarm in to wait for food. the box haven even fully submerge, already got fish swim inside liao.

my fishes are hopeless. if i release them into the wild, they sure die one.

my one of 2 hammer corals. grow so big already it's scary. btw, this is only 1/3 of the whole hammer! :P

pardon the reflection from the MH.

so hard taking top down shots.

Well done. Can tell that you spend lots of time maintaining. Invest in a waterproof camera or casing. If ever you have brown-out SPS, Please give me a frag! hahaha.

FTS (Full top shot) ahaha.

look so blue pardon. the 12k bulbs from top down very blarring. so is the reflection.

i like a frontal FTS more. the top down looks ugly.

another cute little under appreciated chromis.

Chromis retrofasciata. This one actually has a rather similar resemblance to a dwarf angel. in terms of swimming style and body shape. it prefers to weave in and out of rocks and SPS, flickering it's ventral fins as it pauses.

A tiny little baby one.

Chromises look really good in an SPS tank. i love their methodical hovering swimming style.

and my super lucky find today. manage to find some time from my super hectic schedule.

3X Ultra neon green Sinularia brassica. Also known as the cabbage leather coral.

First time seeing neon green ones. they are always brown!

So neon green that i cannot even capture the colours. the reflectiveness just bounces off the camera and make it look so blur and... neon!

it looks blue-green here but in real life, it's more towards lime green.

It is nice if you can see the blue eyes... But too bad they fight in captivity... How I wish it would be like in the wild...
