Photo drop from the frag tank of a portion of what we've got in fishless quarantine at the moment:

I'm trying not fall more in love with this frag tank than I already have, because most of this stuff is destined for the DT. But I really like the way this is looking so far!

Cyphastrea

ORA ponape bird's nest

Orange pavona

Hidden cup coral (Phyllangia americana)

Smooth star coral (Solenastrea bournoni)

Oculina robusta
