jwtrojan44,
I need to update some of the pics on the website. Many of the corals have been moved to the 30 gallon tank for a couple reasons.
I'm planing to get a 75 gallon tanks up running soon, but mostly due to your concern with the dwarf angels. Both the Flame and the Dwarf Pygmy began nipping at several of the corals after about a year of never bothering them at all. It was weird. One week they both began messing with the leathers and almost destroyed my Waving Xenia. Many of the corals have been moved to 30, have regenerated and grown a lot.
Going to make the 55 gallon tank a FOWLR with minimal $ lighting, and make the 75 a full reef.
Spotted Mandarin Dragonette - 1-1/2 years- is doing fine, it eats pods and frozen brine. The other Mandarin was a picky eater, I gave him to a buddy that has a 200 gallon reef. I couldn't provide enough food for him in my 55.

Good advise - I'll be taking new photos soon, and will include names of fish and corals with each pic
gabbys125reef,
Those little green marble looking things are "bubble algae", otherwise known as Valonia and Ventricaria. The spores from which they grow normally come in on live rock. I, unlike many others, do not mind these growing in my tanks. I have Valonia macrophysa and Valonia utricularis, along with some Ventricaria ventricosa in both tanks. You do need to keep it in check by hand now and then, or it will eventually spread out of control. Most other folks will tell you to remove them at once.
