| This is the left side of the tank. On the live rock, starting on the left, you'll see several montipora (brown with purple tips, orange, and purple) with two more (red and green) below them. On the right side is a large teal staghorn with blue tips... a beauty! -- surrounded by yellow polyps. Behind it is a small yellow acro and a pink montipora...strange, because it started as a 1/4" frag of the orange acro on the left! The orange is a frag of a frag which originally came from Mustang. Finally, a green montipora cap just a bit right, a small puple polyped cap frag to the right, and an orange slightly down and center. The three caps came from Kedd, a Reef Central "tank of the Month" winner; however, the orange cap did recede on one side due to shipping stress. On the sand is a bubble coral, a squmosa clam, a green hammer (a rescue from a LFS), a galaxia, and a large squomosa. All have been with me for 12-24 months; the galaxia started as a golf ball sized frag from Tropicorium. |

| Right Side of Tank |
| This is the right side of the tank. A pair of wild colonies are at the top (deep reddish purple and white with pink polyps). I generally only support the purchase of frags and aquacultured colonies, but these were a store credit that I had to use. They are nice... just in front of the red colony is a acro frag that was white with bright green polyps; however, the frag is turning from white to purple. At lower heights, you'll see a pair of acro frags, a deresa clam with a very cool purple edge, green slimer, green montipora, and a really neat pinkish leather with ultra long polyps (this leather has split eight times into full sized "frags" all without any help or intervention from me). Finally, a pair of gorgonians -- short and fuzzy one known as Cousin It (from the Adams Family) and a long tall one with many polyps which was a bonus from Garf, tossed in with a snail order a few years ago. It really needs to be fragged!! |
