Thanks Littlebuck. I am sorry to have to add that I am waiting on 2 shipments or corals and they have been in the snail mail system for a week now. I don't think anything is going to arrive alive. 
All I want is a great looking tank that is stable and supportive of the livestock.. Makes me mad when shipments are sooooo late.

Thanks Jhebi. As you can see by the pics. the LTA is doing well. They say if your lights are not that strong then you will have to feed them. I do, about every 4 days or so a small piece of raw shrimp.
He does shrink up now and again but within a couple hours he is back to being normal
(which is a normal behavior as I have learned). He has tripled in size since I bought him 3 months ago.

Where can you get your Cahlerpa from and how much do you think it would cost on average??
Is it good for the fish or is it just decor??

Very good for fish and the water quality (takes out phosphates and nitrogens I've been told). Some LFS sells and also the big auction site. That in the pic came with a coral branch I bought that had the mushrooms on it.
