I't time to clean up the tank, and make room for a possible remodel (aquascape) As a result, I need to get rid of some stuff. Pics taken under Aquaconnect 14k bulbs. All prices O.B.O.

1) Acro Liropes. Approx 4" tall x 3" wide. Color is poor now because I have no where to put it except on the sand, almost in a shaded area. The tips are trying to color up (purple) now, but it needs more light & flow. Polyps are still out all the time. The 1st pic is what it looks like now, the 2nd pic is what it looked like when I got it, and what it should be able to look like again. $30

2) Millepora Hydrocoral (Fire coral) Approx. 5" tall x 4" wide. Although it will always be tan with white tips, everyone is interested in it when they find out what it is. No polyps, instead it gets little "hairs" on it that get mildly warm if touched. I don't remember seeing this coral in any other tank locally. $25

3) Monti Cap (?) may or may not be a Cap, see the parent colony in my gallery. This one likes to grow in horizontal plates instead of cupping. The photo shows my soap dish, errrrr..... frag tray, to get an idea of the size. (Unmounted, but fragged about a month ago & all healed up) $20

4) Ricordias. Attached to a real small rock that can be glued anywhere. Looks like 2, with one starting to split. (I don't think there are 3 yet, but soon). Bad photo, but they are orange with a blue/purple rim and a bright green mouth. $15

5) GSP. Two small pieces, approx. 2" x 2" or a little larger. Unmounted, just peeled off my overflow. Very pliable, can be glued to your overflow, return, rocks, etc. $5 each

That's all for now, maybe some others later if I decide to change my aquascaping.
 
David,

The Rics are SUPER neon orange under my lights and the mouths are, well - highlighter green! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for the candy cane and the 'ultra rare limited edition' xenia, LOL.

Your tank is gorgeous. The tank we have now is just a plain 55 which pales in comparison. My wife actually said that if we get a new tank, she wants a bowfront like yours (of course, the blue tort and green slimer with the contrasting orange cap are just stunning).

I hope to return the favor when some of my sticks grow out.

Great to hear everything is looking good under your lighting, it was very nice meeting you and your family today.

Let your wife know while bowfronts look nice, they tend to funnel all of the flow to the center of the tank, and are difficult to arrange lighting properly. If I had to do it all over I'm not sure I would do a bowfront again.

Be careful with that "ultra rare xenia" or you could have it everywhere before long. It likes to "climb", so either put it real high to begin with, or keep it isolated where it doesn't have anyway to climb anything.
 
Fire coral is all I have left, no takers ? It's actually a nice conversation piece because of what it is, and you don't see it often at all.
