watch the galaxia... they have nasty long sweeper tentacles... it can extend them 6-10" depending on the flow and other conditions.

Looks nice

If it were me I would move that xenia elongata off of the main rock structure and put it on it's own rock in the sand. That stuff will take over your tank after a while. If that's GSP you might think about doing that with that as well. It will spread everywhere too.....but if that's what you are looking for the ignore me. Most people just regret it when they let thigs like that cover the rock structure.
FWIW, Chris

I like the Zoanthid colony. Looks really pretty. Also with Xenia, can't you just keep it trimmed and under control that way, without it spreading around the tank? I recently found out at my local reef club that Xenia are awesome export buggers. =) I think they're pretty. I love the way they pulse and sway. It is very relaxing. How long does it take for them to take over a tank?

thanks for the feedback... ya I tihkn I will take your advice on that I know that both GSP and Xenia spread like wild fire....
MarineGirl: since ive had the xenia frag for about two monts it has more then tripled grown 3 more heads so the colony is growing quik!
