danimal,

It's a Powder Brown, A. Japonicus. I think they are also called white cheek... all the common names get confusing. There's a GREAT shot of him in the "Fish" section.

Graham -- your tank is fabulous! I'm way envious and your macro shots are really cool. I esp. liked the Xenia and both the button polyp shots. What kind of camera are you using??

TAKE MORE PICS!!!

Regards,
Kevin

Yep.

I'm using the Sony Cybershot DscF707, 5.0 Mega Pixels. It's an awesome camera.

Here were some pictures that were not reef-related, but still good

I'll also attach a picture that I took of a different tank.

Take Care,
