    This tank has been through many changes, it started out as a sps and clam tank, with a HOB fuge, tunze skimmer. After about 1 year I decided I was going to get a larger system and sold almost all the livestock and corals. When all was said and done all I had left was some frags of xenia, colt, ora red planet, montipora, a pair of B/W misbar clowns, YWG and his shrimp buddy. Well after some thought I decided not to upgrade and keep it simple, and go with soft easy corals, so I went to the LFS this weekend, but somehow I ended up with sps again, I guess it was meant to be. These pictures are a progression of the tank from it's days of sps, bare and today. Thank you for viewing.;D

    Nope::) I got a duncan which I really really like, a pink birds nest and a nice purple montipora, and a nice hydnophora. I saw some nice toad stools but I fell hard for the sps again. More pics.

    That's coraline.:) It happens naturally. Over a couple months yours will be similar. It comes in several different colors, thought I don't consider one kind of rock to be known for one color of coraline. It can be in shades of purple, green, red or orange & will have a hard, encrusting surface. The more you have, the more you tank has matured(sort of). lol
