Photos of my Nano system

Theses are some pics of my 10 gallon Nano tank. I used some macro algae to give the illusion of coral. There is a patch of halimeida that mimics branching coral and there is a type of red algae that grows like plating coral. There are some low light corals as well, the sun polyps, a little more demanding, are my favorite coral.

corals:
neon orange discoma mushrooms
mint green star polyps
baby kenya tree
two colonies of sun polyps w/ several scattered babies

fish:
yellow w/ blue spots watchman goby

inverts:
peppermint shrimp
black cucumber
a few blue legged hermit crabs
astrea snail

if you ever get some loose sun coral starts, I would trade or buy one

I've actually have two colonies, you can see both colonies from the full tank pics. One colony (left) was partially open, the other (right) is closed. I would be interested in letting go of the colony on the left. The colony has gone through some changes. It was a nice full thick colony when I got it. Over time, some of the polyps started to not open, then began dieing off. That was over a year ago. There was one line of polyps that always stays partially open. I'm guessing that these polyps started while in an aquarium, and therefore more adapted to aquarium life. Since then. the mound of a new colony has been created. There are still some of the old polyps that are still there but no longer open, even though I directly feed the colony about 6 days a weeks. The colony on the right began as a single polyp ( a hitchhiker of another purchase) and now the colony is about 20 polyps strong and growing. Let me know what you might have to trade. If you happen to have anything blue (zoas, mushrooms, etc) that would be a plus.

I have some blue zzos, but they are being very stubborn about growing out on my rubble. They just form a huge bush of zoos.
