My LPS dominated Reef

[GavinM]

Good evening from the UK everyone - I did some major re-scaping at the weekend - trading a few softies for some new LPS so I thought I'd share some images.

Hope you don't mind.

Thanks! Garfield (the Elegance) has been in the tank for 6 months now and seems very happy.

She's a Flame Angel - a bit paler in colouration to the usual flames but very fat and healthy (I've had her 18 months now)

Awesome elegance wonderful tank

 

[Nano Chris]

Nice tank! Looks natural!

Nice tank, doesn't look too jam packed.

My fav was the blue goniopora. I haven't seen one before. Are they common or is this also the first time you found a blue goni

First time that I've seen one - snapped it up. Seems to have fairly short tentacles - no more than half an inch - I think that this is quite common for the encrusting variety (happy to be corrected if that's not the case!!)

Hey Gavin, on goniopora.org the site mentions that gonis whose polyps aren't extended very far could mean its starving.

Take a look at the site, do you target feed any of your gonis?
