Looks great man! I love that clam, I want one so bad... Trying to send hints to my family to get me one for father's day ... Keep up the great work

looks good, I'm not a coral guy but it looks like a finger leather to me. Might want wait for others to chime in.

Here is a full shot of the tank just to give an idea where things are located. Its not a leather it is hard really have no clue though but I am sure with all the knowledge on this site someone will know.




And I had to set up this 55 gallon for the fish that did not make it into this tank

I love the clam picked it up last week for $36 its my newest addition

Lookin great man! So, are you keeping the 55 fowlr? How come those fish didn't make it into the bow?

[dlcrawle]

Yeah it is fish only for the most part. I put a couple zoas, green star, and a war coral in there as well. As far as why they did not make the cut. I already have two bar gobies in there, the fire fish were bullied by my bristle tooth, and the lunar loves to eat shrimp. The grouper, diadema, scooter blenny and cardinal were all in a 20 gallon that I transfered to the 55 because I didnt want to setup a third tank.

Do you like the firefish? Have been thinking about getting a pair.

Looks great. The first coral is Hydnophora Coral aka Horn Coral, Knob Coral or Thorny Coral

Agree on the  Hydnophora, but it looks badly bleached in the picture.  Is there color when you are lookig at it?  I have a piece that has nice color, but I keep getting tissue necrosis.  I have to admit I still haven't figured this coral out.  Mine does send out sweepers at night, so don't put anything too close to it.

It is a a yellowish green with white polyps. There isnt anything within 5inches should i move it away more? And pete I like the fire fish alot but like I said my Bristle tooth is a mean. They are cool fish always staying right by each other.

Thanks for the info!

I don't know for sure how far the sweepers can go, mine only came out a couple of inches.  Borneman's book doesn't provide a length, only to be cautious.  Sorry I don't have a better answer!
