    Glad I could help!

    The Cyclop-Eeze is a life-saver with sun corals.

    I took a few more pictures of the blue fan.
    The polyps are blue when open. Pretty neat.
    They do open up even more than shown in these pictures.

    I believe the exact name is the Acalycigorgia.
    Anyone else have one of these or ever tried one?

    Here is what they look like when fully open. Of course there is some variation between specimens.

    Beautiful corals very nice setup! Makes me really consider setting up a nano.

    I do love my nano. They're good for small nooks and such. I've got mine on my desk - helps to relax and relieve stress.

    But I'd much rather have a larger set-up. Something around 100 gallons. I'm currently working on a 30 gallon that I've converted from fresh to salt water. it's been cycling for a few months. I'm holding back on getting anything larger because I foresee a move in about a year.

    Your sun coral and blue fan are both amazing to see =)

    I was never a big fan of nanos because I believe bigger is better, but come to think of it, after seeing some of these cool photos, I wouldn't mind having one like that on my nightstand. Better yet, one on each nightstand =D I could sleep with the fishes ^_^

    Unlike my g/f o_o she actually has a fish phobia! No kidding! She'd die if she had fish tanks on either side of her bed XD
