Elizabeth, the maroon clown fish:
Who, unfortunately, didn't reappear the next day after we added her to the tank :(
And, a gargonian, filter-feeding invertebrate:
These are a couple pictures of the tank with the new additions:
There have only been a couple of other developments since our last post. The second bubble-tip anemone ended up committing (what Josh calls) anemocide. In other words, it crawled onto the koralia (creates the current in the tank) and was shred to bits! *sigh* I think we'll have to give up on those type of anemones. Our condy anemone also decided to move; if you look close in the picture above you'll see him in the bottom right corner of the tank with the kenya trees. We have since moved him to a huge crack in a rock on the top left of the tank. This seems to be a favorite spot for all the marine life in the tank, so we're hoping he'll be satisfied there. We also had our water tested at the pet store when we went to pick up the new tank mates and were informed that our alkalinity was rather low, so we bought some supplements for the tank. This can be a cause for the anemones moving around. We'll see how that helps!
