55G Re-Tanked Pics and an ID (please)

[captbunzo]

First let me take a moment to say that glue is just cool...

Ok, moving on.

I thought you guys might like some pics of my freshly re-setup 55G reef tank. I snapped these in about 30 seconds before work today, so they aren't that great. And I left the REALLY blurry ones out....

Ok. First, I got this frag from someone yesterday who didn't know exactly what it was. Does anyone have a clue? Other then "some variety of plating SPS, I don't really have a clue...



Ok, now for the raw pile of pics... Click this for a link to the pics on flikr where you can see larger versions, if you care, and if you can find the "All Sizes" link on flikr...

It's great to have the tank back up. Been up for a little over a week now.

It's really difficult to tell with the pieces that small. It could be Pavona, Montipora capricornis, or a slew of other things.

Yeah, small little pieces, pics, etc, I know the drill.... Impossibe to really ID...

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

It looks like a simple M. capricornis really, but I'm not an SPS expert. Even if it was known to be a Montipora, there are 72 species :eek1:

And some more pics, for your viewing pleasure, preluded with my ever present link to the flikr set...

Sun corals are awesome. This used to be twice as big, but I broke it in half and gave the other chunk to my brother after he babysat these for a while when my 29G tank went caput...

This was just about skeleton when a LFS owner in southern Dallas gave this to me last fall. Again, sun corals rock...

This is a comas donor coral long overdue for fragging - it had 6 polyps on it when I first got it from the donor program. This is on my list of donor items to bring with to the next meeting I attend...

Yeah, just a Yellowtail Damselfish, but I think he's beautiful...

And our clownfish...

I love the coloration on your damsel. Your Tubastrea mincrantha is looking a lot better.

Excellent. Very nice pics. LOve the yellowtail. THat was my first fish. Named him Fred.
