    1. Green birdsnest - likes high flow and moderate lighting
    2. Strawberry fields monti cap OR (less likely) a mummy eye chalice. I would place it in moderate flow and moderate-high light.

    ImageUploadedByTapatalk1344745196.634881.jpg Thank you for the id. I'm loving the green birdnest. Immediately began to extend it's polyps when I was acclimating it. The monti has been slow to come around . Was entirely green for the first 30-45 minutes after acclimating it. I also got this tiny little shroom. None of them have quite stopped sulking as of yet. Figure it'll take em a day or two to get happy again.

    Monti caps can be reluctant to open their polyps when first introduced to the tank, IME. But after that, it's pretty mush smooth sailing, in the realm of SPS at least.

    Nice looking mushroom.

    Under the halides at the shop it was red. In my tank under the AI Nano it fluoresces pink. My wife picked it out.

    Yup, the AI nano is much more blue. It was probably under a 10000K or 14000K halide at the shop.

    But if you want, you can change the % blue/whites on yours to change the fluorescents of the corals. That's the cool thing about LED fixtures. ;)

    You have a yuma and the zoas are Dragon Eyes. The yuma will like low light and low to medium flow.
