    On the zoas, did you check and make sure you do not have any zoa eating nudibranches? Otherwise, did you move it to a higher flow area?

    I havet seen any nudi's on them, but i will take a closer look. And I actually moved them from a moderate flow area to a lower flow, lower light area, just to see how they would react. Would being in the higher flow help?

    Not likely. I found mine closed up for the first few days when introduced to higher flow. They seem to do well in lower flow, lower-mid light.

    I recently took a trip down to Denver to visit my girlfriends family, and I talked her into making a lfs trip to some of the local Denver shops while we were down there! We ended up coming home with a box full of corals that I really like. We got most of them from Keys Island, which was a great store, and some from Aquamart as well.

    looks really nice! I haven't ever seen the black (or at least it looks black) sun coral. Very interesting looking.

    Thanks! I really like that one, it's tentacles look almost metallic green when they are out.
