Here it is in my tank. Doing well! Thanks, Mike!

The lionfish were being super active today so I took a video of their antics.

Alright, I just finished editing the video clips I took last night, so here's a new tank video!

I'd love a piece, Mike!

The eel stuck his head inside the opening in my derasa clam a couple times when I first got him, but he didn't bit anything and the clam didn't get upset or even close. Now he leaves the opening alone since he realizes it isn't a cave. I haven't seen anyone have any issues with lionfish and...

Finally time for an updated FTS. A friend of mine in LA is downsizing her tank and was selling off the bigger pieces that she wouldn't have space for. I ended up buying her 7" squamosa clam. She bought it back in September of 2013 when it was about 3". Anyways, she gave me a great deal...

Oops! The website was acting up last night and I guess it got posted multiple times. Yeah, I'll probably be due for an upgrade by the time they all grow up. Right now Mushu is probably already close to full size (Fu Manchu's max out around 4.75"). The other two are tiny, so it'll take...

Video of the new antennata and some antics by the other tank inhabitants.

Here's a few shots of the snowflake eel. The starry blenny. The clowns. Fox coral Squamosa clam Derasa clam Underside of the derasa clam mantle. Shots of the derasa mantle with the macro lens. Right after adding the antennata, Draco had to investigate. Luckily Draco...

Draco was being really photogenic. I was right in front of the tank while I was acclimating the new lionfish, and Draco has already learned that I mean food. He was swimming all over and sitting up close to the front glass where I was, watching me. His personality is super adorable. With...

Alright, so I have some exciting news... Introducing... The new antennata lionfish! My plan was to have three lionfish: Fu Manchu, Dwarf Zebra, Dwarf Fuzzy. However, I found out yesterday that some people have issues keeping a fuzzy with a zebra. That messed up my original stocking...

Yeah I've heard its like a bee sting for most people, but it sounds like it depends on how sensitive each individual person is to the venom. Some people are allergic, which can make it a really bad reaction just like people who are allergic to bees. I know if you get the sting under hot water...

I'm hoping I don't ever find out what its like! I'm being really careful with my new lions. Thanks! The iPhone takes some pretty decent cameras. I bought one of those cheap attachable lenses that has wide angle, fish eye, and macro. Kind of fun to play with.

Yes, Jon is correct. Although technically they're venomous, not poisonous. Mine are both pretty outgoing, so they don't really run away from my hands, but they don't get too close either or exhibit any aggression. Just to be safe while I'm working, I've been wearing the thick rubber, over the...

Couple more photos from tonight. The blenny has been chilling on the clam lately. I find it funny that the clam doesn't seem bothered and doesn't close. Draco out swimming in the water column. He's finally getting settled in and swimming a bit more!

And some photos I snapped. Here's Mushu and Draco having their little showdown. Draco Mushu I decided to play around with the cheap macro lens that goes on my iPhone. Here are some cool macro shots of Mushu.

Ok, so I have some FUN new videos for you guys. These may be my favorite tank videos to date! First one is of Draco being a little too curious and getting a bit too close to Mushu. Don't worry, no lionfish were harmed in the making of this video! Mushu established his dominance and went...
