Next, here are a couple of corals that I less often snap pictures of, and I tried to find an older picture to compare. Mostly acros. This one is a neat little acro right up front in the tank, and another shot of it a year ago this week.



Next is this guy, which was actually 2 different frags on one plug, but they kind of morphed together. Really weird, probably one just took over the other, but I like it. Today, and then again from almost 16 months ago.



This is another stag that I got from my buddy Clint. It's doing well, but growing mostly on a level plane. I'm hoping it'll sprout soon, but it grows pretty well. Second picture is probably about 6-8 months ago.

And a couple of corals I got from Bill a while ago. This picture's a little blurry, thanks to the slight angle I had to use and the 3/4" glass, but I do like it. It's kind of a pink stag with white tips. I really can't see it from the front at all, but I'm looking forward it continuing to grow, as it's in good position to take over a portion of the tank. The other pictures in this post are from November, about 7 months ago. As you can see, this one has recovered quite well from the shipping stress.



A green birdsnest, but it's much different than the other piece I've got. This image doesnt show it well, but there's really deliberate green tips on it. Pretty neat.



And finally a blue-tipped slimer. It's doing pretty well.

Here's another coral I got from Clint. I don't think he wanted to give it up, but it wasnt doing well in his tank and he asked me to try to salvage it. It seems to be doing well enough. I've had this about 6 months as well.



And another poorer picture, probably would be better top down, but some zoas I got from Amy (I'm pretty sure!!). I really like the red ones, but they're growing on the wrong side for photos. If only I could control nature. These have really started taking off recently, this other photo is probably about 9 months ago with only 2 polyps of each.

Final picture for the night... one of many poccilipora turds that pop up all over my tank. I think they're pretty neat. Maybe one day that's all I'll have left in the setup.

Sorry I can't help you I have no idea

Very nice pics Chris. Eric/Stacy, I need to talk to you about the zoas

Awesome pics Chris, I like that little "turd"

I got so caught up drooling over zoas I missed the "turd". Something about "nice turd" just doesn't sound right to me right now :\

Could this possibly be one of those colonial anemones? It looks very familiar but I am having a hard time remembering where I have seen it before. If it is crawling around like a snail then never mind.

Great new pictures Chris. Everything seems to be doing great in your system.

Thanks everybody! I'm glad you enjoy new pictures, as I often enjoy taking them.

One of the easiest corals to grow in the tank, I'd give you some but it's a stony coral, and you don't like 'em!

Well it was in a different spot this morning. I guess it's just some sort of limpet. But who knows?!?

Hey hey, come on now....I love all corals, I just dont want to be pinned down by SPS thats all. It kind of looked like LPS, but I should not be the one to disagree.
