Yeah, thanks that one's a beauty! I like the damaged Aussie on better though. I have 8 open brains and 6 closed brain corals in there. One of my fav corals.

I added a bunch of rock yesterday and redesigned. I still need to get the last of the corals off the sand, replace the powerheads (they do no good in the boxes), and give that green Sinularia a major pruning, but it's a start...

Thanks guys! It changed fast because I already had all the corals stuffed into other tanks. Essentially it was just a drawn out tank transfer.

Doug, it's actually an Acan echinata. The feeder tentacles are out a bit in the FTS. Orange and green..."Orange Crush" I think it's called? Pic is from March when it was under diff lighting:

Due for an update I suppose. I was working in Alberta all winter again and I came back to a lovely Caulerpa carpet. Three different species even!

So, I ended up picking up the rocks and turning them over to pull all the Caulerpa off. You know how that goes...you pick up a rock and it never goes back to same. So...it got renovated. Still a bunch of Zoa frags in a pile at the front.
