SPS/LPS shots
The brown/purple rimmed cap came in really white..looked bleached..It has polyps and has browned up in the last 2-3wks..same goes for the birds nest...The place I got them from hasnt changed bulbs recently and they're kept under VHO lighting (wattage unknown)...
the purple with green polyp acro started bleaching with 24hrs..I was able to save a couple of the tips which are fairing decently in the last 2-3wks
orange monti cap is doing good..No problems with it..Had it over a month..not happy with it growing slowly but as long as it is growing Im ok

the blue tipped staghorn is my fastest growing acro so far..It has grown an in. in the last month
The burnt red acro had to lose its tip..within a week it has completely grown back in...The gorgonian is looking good IMO..Im not sure how fast they grow...
blue/green bottle brush has nice colors..this and the green/blue bottle brush are my favorites...

Hammer coral is my recent addition..It is of the branching type..I would have loved to get the green version of this..Hammer coral is one of my favorite corals and was extatic to finally get one (5 bucks because its twins were dead)..The bubble coral is coming back to life..it had receded exposing most of the corallum..It is much bigger than it was a few months ago..the Favites is doing good..
The plate coral, ive had for a few months, it has quadrupled in size since receiving it..it was the size of a quarter when i got it...

softies/zoos
Ive had the blue zoos almost two years..the orange several months and the devils hand is a month...all are aquacultured...I have green zoos growing off the favites..
the kenya tree coral is about a month old in my tank..It is locally grown (Reno)..Picked it up for 13 bucks..I bought a small patch of xenia with the tree coral and it has taken off...It only had a small spot on the rock and you can see now that it has covered most of it.
I bought these colony polyps two years ago in August..they all but withered away to about 10 individual polyps..Since upgrading to MH a year ago they have come back with a vengance..Ive actually had to frag some of my polyps (blues yellows and oranges)...Next will be the xenia...
so far I havent had a problem with the softies/sps mix..they are isolated on opposite sides of the tank and I skim decently...
Pictures I didnt take (batteries dying in camera) were that of the candy cane coral (courtesy of Bingo), green mushrooms, palyothoa..
I had a sinularia (greyish brown) that detached and I cant find it..I think that has been causing my brown diatoms to resurface on the sand...
You can see the progression of my tank through the other pages...Its gone from really crappy to kinda crappy :wink:
I also removed my urchin..It depleted the coralline algae which is starting to come back..It has gnawed it down in my mantis tank which had a fair amount of coralline..Disappointing but the mantis dont care...
