    Thanks to all for the compliments. Steve, I will start to show some close-ups of the corals I have collected. I wanted to collect large show pieces as this tank is in my office. I plan to get another tank and let things grow from small frags, but this one was chosen to show some large and sometimes rarer corals. I will show more close-ups as I snap a few more pics.

    This is a beautiful Yellow Devils Finger that when expanded is between 8-10". My wife made me laugh just yesterday when the largest "Middle Finger" was REALLY upright. (1st pic below) She told me, "hey that coral is flipping you off!" LOL It really does look that way at times. ;D

    The next close up is a Aussie Acan Brain Coral. I shopped around until I found the deepest red color I could fine. This one is amazing in it's deep red color with blue inlets that are really seen at night with the moon lights on. The bottom pic is more of a representation of what the red color looks like (taken without the flash on the camera).

    Some Polyp rocks that I think are quite stunning and quite busy at the same time.
