nice array of corals. How long have you had it running? What's the lighting and size of tank?

Lighting is aqualite. 150 watts 14K. got 3 gallon refugium in the back. protien skimmer by oceanic, mini UV sterlizer modified inot the return pump. Corals are growing crazy. I am getting each new zoa rooting out about in 2-3 weeks. Very very happy with my tank.

Sweet, I also picked up a purple firefish yesterday when I stopped at the LFS on the way home. They had them for $29.99, which I thought was decent.

Do you have to feed that sun coral everyday?

No I dont have to feed him everyday. Its a bit tricky with this guy. When i got this dendro, i had to target feed him everyday, because it took him two weeks to open up(usually thats the case with every dendro in the beginning). But once I got it open, i spread feed the aquarium every other day, and it stays open all the time. I dont target feed him anymore. Good little dendro :).

Cool, thanks. I've always thought they were beautiful corals, but I never wanted to worry about the hassle of target feeding them.

I always thought there was aggression with a pair and another clown. Have you had any problems with them? Maybe be fine since they are different colors and different body shapes though.

Thats exactly what i had heard, but this marron clown fish turned out to be very peaceful. Actually in the beginning when i added them in the tank together at the same time, maroon got really irritated because those ORA little guys were following him around all the time. And he did chased them away for one day, once they got the message he has been just perfect. He is very active in the tank among my yellow wrasse and bartlet anthias. Minds his business all the time.
