    Nice yellow polyps, dont let those get too close to other rocks. They will cover your tank quickly.

    I believe that one of them is aiptasia, I'm going to try one of the remidies to get it gone ASAP, the other is white almost translucent. Tried to take pics but camera does not work that well with small stuff.

    One month old W/Pics

    Wife has been busy with our tank:smartass1
    While out of town the last two weeks she found a couple of new additions for it.

    One Branching Hammer Coral w/ two heads? Had to move it to a corner by its self due to it having long thingies that come out at night.

    One Sun Coral w/ two purple colored tube worms that I'm not sure what are called. It was put in yesterday and appears to be happy with its new home. Starting to open slowly. Had to rearrange some to give it a shaded place to live.

    Some new photos.

    those look like sun polyps, which you do have in a good spot. and your hammer is putting out feeding tentacles at night , which can sting other corals. so give them some room. but they will need to be target fed. your tank is coming along nicely, only thing is you seem to be moving along maybe too fast. also what type lighting do you have? but looking good and im appreciating your updates.

    LPS has whats called a sweeper tentacle. It is for warfare only. Very long compared to the feeder tentacles. It will try to reach out and zap other corals. Torch coral is one of the craziest i have seen.
