    I have so much coral that them touching is inevitable. I've had every type of coral in the tank touch just about every other type and have seen nothing kill each other yet other than GSP. That stupid weed wiped a monti out fast.

    I've even had my sebae anemone touch pretty much everything including SPS without them acting like they even care.

    Thank you.

    I've been lazy lately with the pictures. I added 7 new decent sized pieces of SPS over the weekend. They're all VERY colorful. I'll get pictures up soon.

    My tank has been undergoing some huge changes lately. I have completely removed every last polyp of soft coral and am adding SPS and LPS at a very fast pace. My sebae anemone is also back in the tank isolated far from the coral. As soon as the nem is looking healthy again I'll get some pictures up:)

    Wow, Mike. Nice. The coral grower down here always gets really intensely colored ones and large colonies. Not cheap. But I have thought about getting one many times. Yours looks great.

    I really want to visit him, but money is a little tight and a lot of maintenance stuff is due, so I will have to wait till I'm all restocked. Going to get that Harlequin Shrimp tomorrow though.

    If you can wait, I willing be hooking up local people with offsrping of a lot of my coral for insurance purposes soon. As soon as it starts dropping babies they will be out to the local people first.

    It took awhile to feel like I could even attempt such coral, but we all get there in time.

    Today thanks to SWCskimmers.com I switched out my skimmer for one that I think is better designed and a better fit for my tank. I put a SWC Mini S Cone skimmer in my sump. This one is rated for s little less than the SWC Xtreme 160 but is a cone design with more reaction area. I will have full reviews on it soon.

    I also picked up a SWC sulfur de-nitrification reactor. I'm hoping to start hooking it up tomorrow, so I should also have some info on that soon.
