    btw...looks like a Colt..not Kenya...either way they are great filters and can be a nuisance...but I like 'em. : ) Just keep them weeded out and not get out of control.

    I wasn't positive on which it was (the owner thought it was Xenia, which I knew it wasn't). I will post another pic up in the next day or two. It has fattened up so to speak and looks to me like Kenya Tree. But I am a noob and could definitely be wrong! I will watch it either way ;D

    with this picture...I am going to stick with Colt...But it could be a Kenya8)...Mine look alike as we speak..but sometimes the Colt is not as flowering as the Kenya..color is the same..:p I guess I'm not much help here ..lol..but, maybe someone else has a more acurate eye..

    I picked up (3) zoa frags this weekend. Put them up nice and high in the tank and seem to be doing very well, besides being trampled on by the cleaner shrimp every now and then! Id's from what I found (left to right) are Green Crossettes, Eagle Eye, & Radioactive Dragon Eye.

    Under the daylights:

    Under the Actinics:

    Both wrasses were moved from the QT this weekend. They are doing very well in the 55 and actually less skiddish then when they were in the QT. Here is how the "male" is progressing (notice the yellow now going from his dorsal fin to his eyes):

    And today I picked up the Tiger Wardi Goby that was on hold for me :)

    Also over the weekend I wired up and programmed a fan placed up above my sump and controlled by my Reef Angel. Speed varies with the temperature and doing a good job keeping the tank temps down (only rises .8 degrees throughout the day!).
