Tried shrinking it down to size. Lost a little clarity though. Not eating prepared foods yet, but still getting nutrients from the yolk sack!

What are they?

Banggai Cardinals. My male has been eating the eggs recently, around a week after spawning, so I am currently trying to raise them in an egg tumbler.

Aweome pics, that green scolly is sweet

Thanks for the compliment. All pieces in my (former) display/collection have some type of "story" or sentiment.

This particular one was my first piece/choice from Canada Corals from their Grand Opening. :mrgreen: I walked around for at least an hour before settling on this one.

This is the "before" feeding picture:

http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab158/IamTaipan/Taipan%20120G%20Macro/DSC00730_zpsd6dcf7dc.jpg (http://s859.photobucket.com/user/IamTaipan/media/Taipan%20120G%20Macro/DSC00730_zpsd6dcf7dc.jpg.html)

The colours of this particular scoly have become more robust over time and the orange/red striping has thicken. :mrgreen:

Below are pictures of it and another piece of mine as they are currently being cared for at an LFS while my new Display is being prepared:

WOW !! Great photos everyone!

Just a reminder that for all you habitual mult-submitters (I won't name any names because you know who you are- RED), please PM or indicate in this thread which of the many awesome pics you would like to submit for POTM voting :-) If you don't let me know then I will pick my favourite one :-)

Hi. My name is Red; habitual coral hoarder. I have a problem (one of many). Admitting I have a problem is the first step of a very long road ahead. I will leave any and all (current and future) submissions in contests to your "Kien" eye (unless otherwise noted). Thanks in advance. ;)

I have a soft spot for many things. Scolys, Anemones, Triggers, Euphyllia. Actually...my favourite picture (although perhaps not the best photogenically) is the Sargassum Trigger munching on some food. lol
