-Tank Stats-

-The Display Tank-

-Corals & Nems-

-Most recent additions, two BTAs from a local Reefer.

-The Palm Tree, added April 2020

-Bi-color Torches, recently the bottom one has been shrinking more and more. I am trying to determine the cause. I recently removed a vermitide snail off of it. I haven't seen a recovery yet. Open to suggestions

. Added March 2020.

-Ricordia Florida (I believe), either way it is one of my favorite additions to the tank. Added April 2020

- SPS, on the left is an Acro (Unsure of the full name, added May 2020). The acro does not open up often, still trying to determine why. A Stylophora is on the right and was received in a semi bleached state, added March 2020. I hope it will begin to recover, but the algae growth on the skeleton leads me to believe it won't. Going to do everything I can to make sure it does.

- This Duncan is just upset today because I took it off the frag rack and pasted it to a rock. I will update with better pictures soon. Added April 2020.

-Hollywood Stunner Chalice... What can I say other than I am not sure this dude has grown at all.. Added March 2020.

- Bowerbanki, and I love this one. Added April 2020

-Captain America Favia, love the blues on this one. Hope it grows a lot. Added April 2020.

-Goniopora, making a slow recovery after a difficult move last month. Added Feb 2020

-The Koa Garden, pt.1 Added Feb 2020

-Baxter, The Duresa Clam

-Aussie Lord, really looking forward to seeing what this one looks like when it is bigger. Added April 2020

-Favia, I forget the name. Beautiful green and red coloration on blues. Added April 2020

-Yellow Scroll Coral, I can barely see the polyps on this one, ever, Added Feb 2020.

-Banna Hammock Stylophora (I think) and a Neon Green Lepto (I think). Added April 2020 and March 2020 respectively.

-Red Monti, Added April 2020. Would love peoples opinions on this one. I feel like it is doing fine, but could be better.

-Blastomussa, I really like this one, but I have had a difficult time find a solid place in the tank for it.

-The Hammered Frogs. Added Feb 2020 (Frogspawn) and April 2020(Hammer)

-Green Favia? I need to look this one up. I forgot while typing. I study the requirements for all my coral before they go into my tank, just having a brainfart on the name of this one. Added April 2020.
