Oops. You are right fedukeford, I cropped out one accidently!

There is a small Eagle Eye frag above the yellow ones with the orange skirts.

Here is a shot where you can see a couple of zoanthid colonies and my dottyback, under actinics:

Not really, just a trick of the actinics and my photoshop skills not being able to pull the true color that I am seeing.
The fish is a chromatic magenta, it is hard to focus your eyes on him he is so colorful. The middle rings in the zoanthids are actually orange.

The 10k bulbs just came on. Did I mention how much I really like the new look of the tank? I'll see if I can get a good picture...

The crab database?
Gracias!
Not intentionally. I did just get three new types of hermits. One of which is a Clibanarius sp., like the blue legs and mexican red tips, and the other two I have no idea... we'll see!

I recently picked up a small frag of baby blue centers with lime green skirts. Put them on the san bed under the halides and they started losing color.....so I moved them to the PC tank and the color is brightening once again. What gives? I am still waiting to hopefully get the color back in the other blue and green zoos I lost under the PC lights.
So in this lesson I learned that each zoanthid is different in their light needs.
But really though....so I will have a TON of new zoas coming in soon, some frags may have doubles so I plan on splitting them between the MH tank and the PC tank and take notes on what happens. The saga continues.......

Nice acquisitions Wax.
