Angela the Angelfish

Meet, Angela - the bi-color angelfish:















We just added her to the tank last night.  My family has suddenly become enamored with the idea of having marine life named after them.  So, this one was named after my mother.

Other fish that have been named after my family include, Bo (my sister's boyfriend) - the sea urchin (left) and, Danny (my step-father) - the blue velvet damsel (right):












My sister, Elizabeth still needs to pick out her fish.  I suppose we should name some of them after Josh, the kids, and I.  Guess we'll see...

Our new anemone hasn't found his/her home yet. It's been moving all over the tank. We were hopeful that he would remain in this excellent spot:



Unfortunately, last night he was getting VERY close to the overflow box and we had to turn it off to prevent the disaster we had with the last anemone splitting himself up. Then, this morning, he had moved down to the cavern below these rocks. At first, Josh thought maybe he liked the light and had crawled up there to get closer to it. Now we're beginning to wonder if it isn't the flow of the water he likes and that's why they keep getting to close to the overflow. I personally think they are depressed - either they're hiding under a rock or trying to commit suicide! LOL Ah well, maybe he'll find a "safe" home soon enough. We'll just have to keep a close eye on him.
