Last night I got a couple shots after lights out.

Stomatella varia!!!
I got very excited when I saw the Stomatella snail. I love them and I had LOTS before the storm, but they all died with the rest of my tank. This one must have hiked in on some of the zoanthids I have been buying.

Because they come in SOOOOOO many color variations, grow quickly and do a GREAT job of clean up. They also move really fast and are fun to watch.

Going to post up a shot of each colony/frag I have. This will take a while!

The dates listed are when the shot was taken, not when the zoanthids were acquired.
