Here it is, two tiny but hungry eyes. The stripes currently are covering the body color and most of the yellow rim. But I am starting to see the purplish color it develops as it matures at the base of my frag!

Here is 1 eye that broke off of a purple with orange rim chalice I have. This chalice is purple in low light and morphs burgundy/purple-redish in higher light.
I know it is primarily red right now, but I wanted to post this picture so I could keep up with its growth.

Sorry for the pixelation in this picture. I keep this chalice in low light as it grows well and keeps its best colors there. Also, there is not a lot of it left in the hobby so I have to take extra care of it. To accurately capture the colors of the coral I had to set my ISO rather high.

I just took the pictures, they will be up soon!
I also added some sps to the tank, so I couldn't help but to take a picture of one of them!

This is my last update for the next few days because I am going out of town. Hopefully nothing crazy will happen to the tank while I am gone.
Anyways here are the pictures.

Green, yellow, and orange rim on a red mushroom!

Here they are under daylights, not quite as cool but still pretty interesting,imo. Sorry for the bad picture, I put them in a spot that is hard to photograph at, I will probably change that in the future.

Just took some more pictures after I added 2 more blue stunner strips to my tank.
I now have 3 with reflectors. I still need maybe 2 more though.

I finally got some of these guys!

This one is morphing back from orange to a neon pastel green/orange color. It is always changing colors on me.

Also, I forgot to post that my green clown goby that has been missing for months just showed up out of no where about 2 weeks ago! I still am not sure where it was hiding or trapped.

Awesome corals and awesome pics!!! How do you like the RSM250? I'm contemplating a few tanks and that's one of them. It's a jump from my nano though so not sure about it. Again, great stuff!

Thank you and yes you can feature it!

Thank you! I like the AIO a lot, however the skimmer was not so pleasing for me. It gets the job done, but I found that it does not do the best job, so I am upgrading my skimmer in the future. Due to its high powered lighting and lid the water evaporates fairly quick as well. The only real issue was the skimmer. Over all the tank is very sleek looking and can keep any kind of livestock that you want to put in it, unless they are huge fish or something.
