    Hey it's looking good. Don't rush adding additional stock to your tank, I know how tempting it can be but you may end up regretting it further down the line.

    So what are your plans for your tank, fish only or some corals as well?

    Noticed that you stated amounts in pounds, hurahh, another fellow UK reefer on the forum!! :)

    Thanks for your comments guys, i intend on going slow over the next couple of months adding bits of LR at a time, clean up crew going in soon, & plan on adding mostly fish at first then later on maybe a couple of anemones,
    Later on down the line maybe upgrade a bit of equipment, and who knows , watch this space.

    thats some good lR if i came with snails and a chrismas tree worm! and that hairy slug is either a nudi or a stomatella. Does it appear to have a flat-ish shell on back?

    1st looks like a nudi, 2nd is some snail, could be good or bad
    3rd, looks like some kind of either A. Soft Coral, or B. Tunicate
    4th, is a zoanthid. Congrats on your first coral :p
