    There are a bunch of Hidden Cup Corals (Phyllangia americana) that came with the Florida LR. Out of curiosity I fed one a piece of frozen krill tail. It responded well so I kept feeding it over the coarse of the past few weeks. Now it has transformed into a pretty little coral.

    Here is a pic of when I started feeding:

    Wow clone, nice build. That rock is awsome!! Do you know what kind of HH that is? It looks to be some kind of dendro.

    Thank you! The coral HH in the pics is either a Phyllangia americana or Astrangia asteriaformes, common name Hidden Cup Coral. It's a common hitchhiker on Florida LR.

    I went to LFS today and came home with a Six Line Wrasse :). It's tiny, about 1 inch in length. He/She seems to be doing well, checking things out and picking at the LR.

    Nice tank you got!!! The coralline just started to pop here and there on mine, but its nowhere close to an explosion yet.

    If I had missed it, im sorry, but where did the sump go :)

    Thank you!

    The sump is not hooked up yet. I ordered an overflow from Aquacave over a month ago, but still haven't got it yet. Aquacave says they shipped it, but UPS has no record of the package being picked up, only a label and tracking number :(. Fortunately the tank runs well without a sump.
