this is a close up Doug got of them when the new light was first put up, as you can see they are brighter now. FYI I love my par38

Those are super awesome red/orange with a purple ring in the centre (I have no idea what they're called but I could come up with a cool name if you'd like) zoas

and yes those are rasta's which are finally looking like rasta's under the better lights.

The rasta's went from this

to this

I had actually thought that they weren't rasta's and that a mistake had been made, crazy what a difference a light can make. Although I think they still have some colouring up to do, but they're getting there and they've come a long way in a month.

Ya just a bit

I have to say love the colour I'm getting from my corals under my new halo par38 led from fragbox. March actually wants to put a pic of my nano up on their website, so I sent a few pic's to him and thought I'd start this thread since I was on a roll

Do you like my corsage? I know its a bit big but its designer! Via space monster

Love that blenny! What an usual one that you have found. You always have the neatest fish and critters! If I have more time...and money...I'd love to start another tank. Something about a nice, quiet tank that can house tiny shrimps and crabs without them being totally lost is very...zen.

I think I found an id for the above zoas, I think they are Ko's nightmare

Happy news, I was puttying in some zoas and saw my Pom Pom crab

Thankfully what I saw before was a molt and not a dead crab like I thought.

Pic I took (crappy iPhone with the lights out pic)

New zoas I got today

I think they are darth mauls (like the pic below) or a morph of them. They were labeled as deadpool (in the store they kinda looked like them, but i had a feeling theyd look better under better lights) and under my lights they definitely look more like more like darth mauls
