A couple of additional pieces tapped to the inside really helped to silence it overall, couldn't be happier with the look and its easy and cheap to do.

Couple new actinic photos:




Top downs:








I picked up a new colony that I have never seen before today, I thought it was magicians but I'm almost positive it's a zoa because of the size. Magician palys are like 4 times the size of these little guys, there the red ones located in the top of the photo.

New colony opened up pretty quick, here are some day light shots. They look exactly like magicians just 1/4th the size.

Thanks Mike.

I have a serious problem when it comes to moving everything around, I think I like this new scape so I have a New Years resolution to not move it. I have decided to remove most of my remaining LPS and go back to the twigs (My Red Planet just looks so loonnlleeyyyyy ).

FTS:


Anyone any an ID on this nem, the store didn't know for sure.


Some randoms:

Pssst! Regarding those sweet new Zoas, you mention size in relation to Paly vs Zoa - that is not a reliable way to ID. Easiest way to ID is texture, Palys feel like fine sandpaper, and Zoas will be smooth. Either way, nice Zoas!

Oh, and Flower Anemone or close relative?

I don't think that's a Rock flower anemone but who cares if it is not because it looks great. Here are a few pics of my Red Rock Flower anemones
