I think all those coral skeletons make the displays look drab :o

FWIW, I introduced about 12 Peps to a 75 gal corner I installed at a local Rehab Center to take care of a horrendous aptasia problem. They made quick work of the aptasia. Never saw another one. Since they've exhasted their natural food supply, they attacked a 'Curlyque Nem' and made quick...

Right, your live rock is settling in. Like it was said earlier, you have Copepods, Asterinia and Brittle Stars.

Hi Josh, my name is Michael Foote (aka 'Amberjack'). VP, Atlanta Reef Club (www.atlantareefclub.org). We are a rather large club with 712 dues paying members. I was trying to convey a point to my membership and wanted to know if Manhattan Reefs is an online community or a club that holds...
