    So, I was feeding my always hungry clownfish last night and I came across this guy hanging around on a rock so I snapped a pic and went on-line and I think he is a cup coral. What do you guys think? I rescued this tank and all of it's inhabitants from a lady using tap water and wondering why nothing would live past 2 months. Anyway, lots of water changes later and the tank is stable and has become a hospital/LED experimental tank. Thanks for your help as always!

    The full tank shot, it's coming along nicely!

    Yup, aiptasia to my eyes. Not something you want.
