    Tank looks very nice Gabby! I like your scape and love your macro shots especially of the ricordea!

    Thank you! That means a lot, I spent a long time getting the scape just right :)

    Do you guys think that is, in fact a fungia? It seems like one to me, but it's attached to a rock, doesn't appear to have a skeleton of any sort (though it's hard to tell) which makes me think it might be something else. If nobody knows for sure, I'll start an ID thread, just thought I'd try for a quick answer here :)

    Here's an older pic of it... it's bigger now, about half-dollar sized.

    Gabby's 75g LPS and Softies (New Pics 4/30/14)

    Well, we moved again, this time to a house, so hopefully no more moving for me for a looooong time! ::) I've added a few new things since my last update including a Gorgonian, LTA (which my clowns are now hosting!), Brains, and a giant Nepthea.

    Everyone is doing great after the move, though I did have one casualty, Whiskers, the Flame Scallop that I've had since January. I know they have a high mortality rate in tanks anyway, but I was sad to see him go.

    I took the opportunity to add 40 lbs of new sand, since I've lost quite a bit over the course of two moves. I think that the new 'scape is also my favorite one so far... so much more room for corals! ;D

    I also put my sump in the basement, and did my first "through the wall" tank. I'm very pleased with the result because the room is much quieter, and it's so easy to get to my skimmer and filter socks now.

    Fungia or possibly cycloceris tenuis

    Thanks for the confirmation DSC. Since that post, it has dropped off and is now living on the sand. A new one is growing where the last dropped off.
