Tank Update

At BAYMAC last weekend, I acquired some new equipment and decided to take the time to de-uglify my tank. I had two "spare" clumps of Chaetomorpha happily expanding in the main display tank and the corals from the February frag swap were randomly scattered. Everything looks nicer and cleaner now.
CPR Aquatics had a booth at BAYMAC, so I bought a small Aquafuge to replace my makeshift AquaClear 70 refugium. It's much more spacious and easier to hold all my gear plus much more room for Chaeto growth. The rear of my tank look a lot better now since the Aquafuge and its light was actually meant to be a refugium:
Through my local Don't Break The Chain program, I recently got a large branch of green-tip hammer and mini carpet anemone. I also bought a bright green Caulastrea from the club's frag tank at the conference. They're all in my quarantine bucket for a few weeks.
Here are photos of the corals I got from the frag swap back in February:
My "Euphyllia garden," which I plan to be the center piece area. The hammer on the far right is not new.
Acanthastrea
Hairy mushroom (Rhodactis spp.)
Green Palythoa
Some kind of Zoanthus. I originally didn't like this color, but my roommate likes it a lot, and it has since grown on me.
