    So I finally got some life in my tank. First I got a great deal on a candy cane with about ten or more heads, plus I got a birds nest frag and some lettuce coral. So happy my tank is coming a long thanks for all your help. As for fish I got an antanna goby but the little guy is shy and well very little and I can't get a photo of him.

    Very nice, want to get a candy cane myself but can't find any good ones for a good price.

    Agreed. This is a birdsnest of the green and pink variety for comparison

    Also, your "lettuce coral" looks like a mushroom coral.

    Good luck with the new additions!

    I'm assuming that's what he/she is referring to. Either that or the zoanthids?
