Thank you! Lots of trial and error over the last year but it's growing and staying healthy.

Everything looks great.. you may want to address the aiptasia before they get out of hand and the same with the Asterinas.. they will reproduce like crazy and in time eat your zoanthids.

I'm making a trip next week to the LFS for a harlequin shrimp and some peppermint shrimp. That should clear up things.
