OK I need some help w/ Acro IDs
First off we have what looks to be a deep water, possibly Echinata in a olive green w/reddish brown undertones, w/polyps and fast growing...
Second, a maroonish brown base that is starting to show more neon green daily on the tips...
and third this little fuzzball tort, it is more blue than the pic shows and has a yellow rim inside the tips, constantly extended polyps...

Some pics of new additions to the FT:
A baby Turbinaria I could not pass on, it was in a sad tank and will need time to color up, this is an actinic shot.
This little ugly duckling was in the $10 frag area and it is starting to color up, I think it is a tricolor A. validia.
A pair of Hoevan's wrasse, Halichoeres melanurus, got lucky, found a male and a female in diff. tanks, so far they seem to have hit it off. They hunt pods and anything else for that matter as a team. (male is above)

Hammer time, Wife had to have it, SPS are looking on w/fear.
This one is after being in the MP10 wave, seems to like it.
And what was called "A. ugly" Antdizzle and I have a peice each of this bushy stick and are racing to see who can color it up first. He has three suns over his I have my T5's on mine.

The firstt indeed looks like a Echinata..no idea on the second, the third looks like a A. chesterfieldensis or A. tenuis

Thanks Tony, I appreciate the feedback, I'll follow your lead and take a look at those. This Echinata is atypical it seems to grow fast, has 1/4" polyp extension that is fairly clear and singular (like a sweeper), and I think it wants more light, I may end up staggering the two light fixtures at different heights to drive different PARs in the front and the back of the tank. The pagoda is being shaded for now, it was in a dim tank and browning out so I want to acclimate it to the brighter home slowly then to the 75G.

nice frag tank. I see you took out the 2nd white shelf later. It does look a little better w/out it but I guess you didn't need the extra space? |

Thanks cutietwo, well, it was out for clean up and it's back in and starting to reload it. I have to sit a the bench and put in some fragging time. I have a Green slimer (in 75G) that is cresting the top of the water along with three other stags that need a pruning. Just picked up a baby Ric. Yuma that turned out to be 4 baby Yumas. Pics after dinner.

So I stopped by a LFS on my way home and they had just recieved a few Ricordia Yuma frags and this one caught my eye, then once I got it home I saw it has three friends, one at 5:30 a small one at 7:30 and one on the flip side. I have some Ricodia Floridas but these are my first Yumas. Enjoy
