    Chili's can be difficult, I actually have an orange as well...Have you tried to feed it reef roids or coral frenzy?

    I've spot fed it cyclopeeze. I've yet to see the polyps extended...it is still holding its color though so I assume (although always cautious to do this) it's still alive...it just kind of lays there.....in its cave - I've looked for polyps and thought I saw some darkish extensions but it's hard to tell. Yours is awesome looking with the white polyps!

    It's been awhile since last update. I've got several new things going on in the tank the last few months, including some sps corals, and finally upgraded to a Rapid L.E.D. full spectrum light & controller.

    Anyways, here are my two newest pickups.

    Thanks guys. I really love the new rainbow monti. Super bad ass piece.

    Coralluine, I really love the new light. I ordered several extra colors of l.e.ds. so I can play around with the color until I get it exactly to my liking. I seems everything is doing well including my NPS's which I wasn't sure if the light would bleach them or not, but they all seem fine. I've been messing with the the color between the drivers and the dimness/brightness to find a happy medium that all the corals respond to well. I really love the adjust ability though, switching from 20k-10k and anywhere in between with a push of a button is pretty awesome if I do say myself.
