    Looks like green star polyps (the purple mat), zoanthus gigantus (green people eaters) and palythoa's (green button polyps). Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like some other kind of zoa, possibly a parazoanthus...

    Hey Godbert, I've been doing some research on Goni's and have found out that they like "dirty" water. What I mean by that is not so good water qaulity and cloudy. So I'm assuming if the water is also cloudy, that they dont need much light either. No wonder ppl have trouble keeping goni's. I could be wrong, but thats what my research has led me to believe.

    Does the damsel in pic 30 look like the one I have in my signature? Mine was full grown when that pic was taken. Have you gotten an ID of it yet? The face and shape look like mine.

    Looking good, just be careful with your CB with the hawk. We have a flame hawk in the tank with a CB and Cleaner shrimp with no problem. They have been in the tank together for over 8 months. We did have a problem with our Spotted hawk in one of our smaller tank. He killed a Cleaner Shrimp and started attacing our Clownfish. We had to yank him from that tank. He is an awesome fish but he had to put him in yet another tank...
