okay time for a couple more pics..you would think as time went on i would learn how to use a camera...not so the case....so i apologize in advance, i have no idea how to turn down the blue in the camera..but trust me real life the tank is no where near as blue as it appears and the corals are much more colourful...where you can see hints and glimmer of colour in the pics the eye sees pretty intense colours..loving my tank...
anyway on with some pics..
first a new something i picked up, not sure what it is, LFS sold it to me as an open brain, the points are bright green the mouths bright pink, most of the flesh is purple with pretty vibrant oranges and pinks...this was a $5.00 rescue coral (there is some tissue recession on the back side of it, feeding it some meaty foods hoping it recovers quickly)
my new blue polyped birdnest, the flesh is green with pink tips...and i believe an acropora heoksamei (lol i am not sure how to spell that)
and a new FTS...things are getting pretty tight in there now...some other things added since the above FTS are a 3 headed green with pink tipped frogspawn, and a red monti cap, also a green acro of some sort on the overflow pipe, two weeks old and fully encrusted as is the blue acro in front of the toadstool leatheralso purchased two weeks ago.

thanks kuda and robbie, tank sure has come a long way...pretty much going to leave it alone now and let it fill in...her birthday is in one month...i will post again then to see how things are filling in...i cant believe the torch coral i put in there about 5 or so months ago as two heads has basically split into 5 heads already , working on splitting off three more and there are a bunch of buds sprouting too...
here is what i think is a complete but half***ed list to my corals and critters.
SPS:
3 different acropora, one is a heoksemai (new blue one), one possily Acropora Loisetteae (green one). not sure what the other blue one is though.
1 montipora capricornus
1 Seriatopora hystrix (blue polys)
LPS:
2 Euphylia species, one torch green with yellowish tips, one frogspawn green with pink tips
1 open brain (no idea the latin for this thing though)
Softies:
3 differnt palyothoas (one pink one green one brown and green)
3 zoanthid (eagle eye, a pink one and biege something too)
1 colt coral the latin elludes me right now
2 kenya trees (one pinkish one green, but the green is leaving me shortly)
1 frag of blue clove polyps, soon to be taking a dive in the sump or toilet tank...
(1) blue mushroom (though i am sure this will eventually change)
Leathers:
2 toadstools, one stadard tan one, one fiji yellow (this one has sprouted a bunch of new heads)
1 devils hand
NPS:
1 red chili coral
crustaceans
2 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 white porcelain crab
3 blue leg hermits
1 trochus snail
500 collonista snails
a tonne of key hole limpets
1 fuzzy chiton
1 bumble bee snail (but i think he is on the outs)
fish
1 yellow tail damsel (if i can catch him he is coming out)
