    The number 1 reason to use reef empire: they don't use insane amounts of blue light to make their corals look much better than they really are. The colors of some of my pics are kinda messed up, I'm guessing because of the angles I took the shots at; trust in them all being very, very colorful and not "washed out".

    It's totally not a coral, even though I called everything corals lol. It's a coco worm.

    i LOVED that coco worm when I saw it posted. They seem to be really easy to care for. I have one in my tank and it is doing wonderfully. They are essentially filter feeders. I have no doubt that others on here can give more detailed info on them - but I truly enjoy mine, it adds a great splash of color and variety to my tank. I bet you might like having one as well. None of my fish bother it, either.

    Yeah, I have 2 other feather dusters and they're pretty awesome and easy, but this coco is pretty special because of its colors; you don't see red w/ a yellow stripe all the time.

    As for things bothering it, my cleaner shrimp went after it a couple times. He got the angry fingers treatment when he kept going near the coco, and hasn't gone back since.

    You need to have a "show off your tanks" thread. I completely missed your tank until now! Very nice FTS.
