Congrats on a nice tank. I have to say I usually don't like tanks where the LR is piled on the bottom, but there's something about yours.......well done!

I have one polymnus in a 6/7" haddoni, one latezonatus in a 18" crispa and a pair of perideraions in one of two quadricolors.
I only have coral stinging problems when they're new. Once they settle in, they seem to more or less respect one another's space. That goes for the clowns too.
Thanks.

I'm gonna go with favia. ;p
If you mean the one above the Haddon's anemone, I got that from a friend who got it from a mutual friend who happens to be the lead aquariest at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. It came from one of the displays there. That's all I really know about it. My taxonomy is really not a major focus of mine. I just look at growth forms as a means of determining placement.
If you mean the big blob looking brain below the blueish -green turbinaria, I got that at a "frag" fest held by my local club (CMAS.)

okay, there is a clownfish or some sort with its tail in front if the coral, just to the left of your green plating coral on the left side of your tank....it looks like this:

Tang poo!
I do not target feed my corals. Fish get a mix of flake, pellet and frozen foods. Quantities in that order. I have high linear flow to keep detritus suspended and a 1 hour storm every 6 hours to pick up anything that settles. "Storm" means the second Reeflo Barracuda kicks on.
The one thing I think I do differently than most people is the flow. I figure that aside from the occasional storm, corals are exposed to the same flow patterns day in and day out. Tides are regular, ocean currents are regular. I figured I'd try that with my system. I think random flow confuses the corals. They don't know which way to grow!
The other thing that people point out when they see my system in person is the major polyp extension and the rugged looking growth patterns. There are actually more polyps per inch than any other system I've seen. This is most evident in montipora cap.
Alas, I digress.
