Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Anyone have an idea of what these are?
First pic - acro of some type?
Second pic - looks like a montipora to me
But I'm not good at identifying sps or any other coral lol
 
I would say 1st montipora hirsuta and 2nd slimeball anacropora.
Growth pattern on second is more Spongodes than Anacropora but they're both very similar!
 
Afternoon, folks.

I definitely was very sad to see the news this morning. I've always been into aviation. I have my own flight simulator to mess around with. I've always loved flying. I just don't understand how stuff like this can still happen. There are so many pieces of technology specifically designed to prevent this to happen. My prayers go out to all of the family and friends of those 64 passengers and crew on that plane that passed away last evening.
 
@kevgib67 what cleaners from reef cleaners?
If you need sand bed cleaning i highly recommend a fighting conch. Just one. If your tank is less than 30 g then get a strawberry conch if available. Again, just one
