    So, for quite a while, I had a small aiptasia problem. Then, I went to Los Angeles to re-unite with my Mom. When I had came back from the short 5 day trip, my mantis shrimp had died for unknown reasons. Which was really cool because it brought my Aiptasia problem from probably 20-30 to easily around 100. It was awesome. So I took all the Live Rock , with the exception of 2 big pieces, and soaked them in FW for a week, and then in bleach for 2 days, then dried them out on my roof for another week. Long story short, My Rosie O'donell Arm Pit Hair Collection is no more! So I thought in celebration, I would post some update pics! ;D

    Im absolutely sick of these Zoas, but I thought the pic was cool:

    This brain inflates to about 7 inches, almost too big for the tank but I just cant bring myself to get rid of him:

    Another coral I will never get rid of:

    I grew him from this:

    Great pics. What would spruce up those zoas is maybe mixing them with a few different types to make a "garden" of zoas. That is a really nice hammer coral BTW. Great Job!

    Nice. You have some really nice corals. That frogspawn/hammer/whatever it is, is really impressive

    I call it my Frog Hammer, as it has characteristics from both.
