The habitat is sea urchins which were fairly easy once I figured out the process. Some colored algae, small coral,round anemone large staghead coral. The colors were from memory of my scuba diving days. I plan to add some small reef fish around the top of the large coral,there are also some small tube sponges which are very bland looking at depth but are colorful when you bring them to the surface. The habitats was built of scrap basswood and powerçarved except the urchins. The colors may be controversial but colors change according to the depth of the water so what is a pretty orange red at the surface may be a bland green at 60ft.

Beautiful job all the way around! Now that you have the hardest fish out of the way the rest should be easy.

I'm toying with an idea of some boys playing marble's, I bought some clay to model the idea. The clay model will be first for me,I'm hoping it will make the carving easier to do,have to see.
