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?

True but I have seen real Magician palys before and they are about 4 times the size, I would make the argument that most palys are larger than most zoa species but there is allot of variation out there. I can't think of a single paly/ proto paly that is smaller than my largest zoa, any in your tank?

I can't find any comparable photos of a Red Flower Anemone on google, the tenticals look a fair bit different than everything out there.

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
