Thanks! I really wish I could get a decent picture at night. The polyps are literally at least double what they are during the day. I am almost tempted to turn my lights on in the middle of the night for some shots!!

I have a 48" moonlight with 36 blue LEDs in it. It looks awesome at night, but can't capture the bright colors that way.

I think after you get your tank up you will have the same problem too with your own stuff if you start buying in mass like you were saying.

Thank you. I am not too sure of the ID on a couple of them, but I tend to liek to buy things that are really browned out if they look like they may have potential and see what happens in a few weeks. I think most of the brightest SPS I have were acquired this way, and it is always a nice suprise what turns out. As for shots, I still want to pick up a better macro lens, but this hobby won't let me save up enough.

Thanks. I think we all have something in common on here, and that is that we all love our tanks and finding ways to make it better. I hope whatever I do next doesn't ruin all I have put in so far.

I am starting to really like the color it turned too! I am not totally sure what it is. I was guessing a cyphastrea of some kind so I did a search on it and came across this, http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedpu...cyphastrea.htm . This coloration is consistent with the non-top down shot

So for now, until I find something more conclusive, I will believe it is a cyphastrea japonica. If anyone else can correct me, please do!
