Nemo is tied with Blue Planet for me. And I did start up a reef because of that movie. Any one wanna guess what my first two fish were?

So I am planning on making my tank a soft reef tank, containing mostly just zoas rics and mushrooms. I currently have 2 54 watt 10k T5's and 2 54 watt blue actinics and 8 LED moonlights over my 55 gallon tank. Will upgrading the lighting to MH improve the color of the zoas etc? Is it worth the...

Can I possibly get another picture of F? I cant tell very well from the pictures because of the angle, but in the tank does it look very similar to I? I would also love to see any others you ahve for sale...trying to make my reef into a ric/mushroom/zoa/paly reef.
