    I don't know what this guy is! Got him for $20 at my LFS yesterday! The guy didn't know what it was either. I just need a starting point to start researching. Doing very well though! :D

    Love the colors on the acropora. Not sure of the species. It looks as though you have it placed well.

    Yea, I saw it and thought it was really nice!! So, I bought it to replace an ugly greenish brown digitata that was there. It was ok with where I put it, so today I was foolin around with the flow for about a good hour and finally found what it (and all the other corals) like :)

    Not certain, but A. horrida is my best guess right now.

    Growth pattern looks close but I think the PE is too much for any horrida I've ever seen. Keep us updated with growth shots and more guesses.
