yes- coral skeletons are firmly grown/encrusted onto my rock. New frags will be attached and grown on top of them.

That's what I have been doing as well...and sometimes the old coral will come back. I have a birdsnest that dropped dead more than a year ago. It has been covered in nuisance algae, coraline algae etc. and just last month, a couple tips re-grew...now there are 3 full fingers in rapid recovery. It's kind of cool to see that happen!

natural reefs do build upon the remains of others and that's what I've chosen to do.

I didn't know my Acropora had a guest living in it until the crab came out to try and scare my camera away this morning!

Is that crab good or bad?

"good". In fact- it protects it's host coral from things that would harm it such as many types of Butterflyfish and Crown of Thorns seastars. Cameras, too 
this is the frag this colony grew from!

Wow! It looks like things are recovering nicely!
Great shots!
I'm definitely getting a trio of pyramids for the school aquarium.

showing signs of full recovery the past few weeks. I only do water changes on the weekends. 50 gallons a weekend. It's taken a while to flush the whole system and the corals now are showing the results.
Pyramid Butterflyfish aren't everything I hoped they'd be. Mine is strictly a planktivore- it NEVER picks at anything on the rockwork.
IME this species totally relies on the aquarist for food- making it less desirable than a Copperband Butterflyfish IMO.
I hope hurricane Ike isn't causing you any grief, Marc. We're saying a prayer for you folks in Texas.

It really hammered Galveston and Houston, both on the coastline. However, those of us north haven't been bothered. Austin and DFW have just had some wind and some rain, but nothing that is even newsworthy. Thanks for thinking of us Texans. 
Hopefully some news will come out of the MARSH club soon.

This makes this species much less of a gamble for me,
and I'll be ordering a trio this week to go into the QT tank!I'm really gun-shy (probably overly so) on the "hit or miss reef-safe" fishes after my experience with my navarchus.
I really enjoy seeing the pics of your aquarium.

Wow...I hope those guys are all OK...the MARSH forum is a bit scary. I thought you guys up north were still going to get major rain and flooding before the storm turned East...has that changed? No one is looting your local Wal-Mart yet?

Scott,FWIW, I have had a Hemitauricthys polyepsis),Pyramid butterflyfish, for about 4 years. It does not bother any corals. It eats everything I feed:mysis,brine, bloodworms,cyclopeeze ,krill, spirulina flake, prime reef flake.
