    Ok here are some pictures after everything settled down and corals started coming back out. My frogspawn looks so much smaller!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    They frogspawn still looks hyper inflated, thats cool. Its the leather that looks small in that tank now. I see the sps is alive and well, good.

    I know really nothing about zoanthids but I would hazard to guess it's a lighting difference. Maybe even changing a bulb will make them pop again.

    Well the frogspawn is getting more flow in the spot its in now and its seemed to have made a difference. The polpys have thinned back out some what. Ill post an updated picture when I get home tonight. Unfortunately my sps has changed to a bright green color, my guess is lighting or excess nutrients in the tank. I guess I've been over feeding to keep my flame angel happy and not picking at my corals. Don't have an algae problem though, like last time when I was over feeding...

    Green is good, it will probably shift colors for awhile. My Valida was green when I got it, turned purple and ended cream with blue tips. Phosphates turn my acros brown so hopefully that's not the reason. Again probably lighting.
