Default FTS...with survivors

Here's an updated full tank shot and one from 1 year ago to see how far the tank has fallen. You should be able to see all the large colonies that aren't there anymore.

Fortunately, there are survivors. Let's classify these ones as "hard to kill".
The Hammer Coral and this very-hairy acro...


Don't know what this is, but I'm glad I didn't lose it. It is quickly regaining its purple with brown colour.


This moss-green acro also seemed to do OK while everything else died. It never even lost it's colour. Recently, this coral has started to grow like crazy! The red milli behind it took a real beating, but looks to be recovering. If you look closely at the red milli, you'll see that a couple of branches are orange. That is because they died and were covered over by orange encrusing fire coral....another coral that seems impossible to kill.
