some zoas that never seem to grow. I've had this patch for ~2 years now and it's added a couple of handfuls of heads over that time

anthias all have ADD I'm pretty sure. Though sometimes I find them lounging on the sand

a boring long polyp acro I got while swapping frags

what's this stuff called? The frag I got a couple of years back was called a green slimer, but I don't think that's what it is...

This guy is what I think is a real green slimer. He's been fairly slow to grow, but I can see the white polyp tips coming. Seems like it's poised to shoot up a bit.Click image for larger version Name: Aquarium 031.jpg Views: 214 Size: 86.7 KB ID: 7011
The ORA red planet. This thing really grows - the three white branches in front are all new in the last 3 months. I figure the longest one has grown on the order of 1mm per day.

Neon green trumpet coral. When I frag this stuff, it doesn't last long...

It's fun to see how fast things grow with the CA reactor going full steam. That's all for now!

    Great pics. Thanks for the update! The Scoly appears to be a Wellsophylia, and the zoas do appear to be Eagle Eyes. Blonde Naso's are one of my favorites. Gorgeous fish!

    Lovely tank. Thanks again. :-)

    The "I thought it was a green slimer" is a Hynophora, and appears to be bleached.
    The "this is a green slimer" is more than likely an acropora, but not A. yongei.

    Thanks for sharing all your pictures with us.

    Yes - hydnophora - I would agree with that. It's definitely on the fair side...ever since I got the LED lighting. It might do better if it were farther down in the water column.
