    Do you guys think it would split?
    I'll try to post pics of the other stuff in the tank tomorrow.

    Oh and the clowns laid eggs last week which caused a war between the female clown and one of the blue tangs. She chased him out of the tank, but our wonderful receptionist saved him. The eggs disappeared, and other than a few battle scars, everyone is fine.

    Ok, here's a bunch of photo's that I just took with my old blackberry. I didn't shut off any pumps and tried to take most shots from above the waters surface since thats where it looks best. I had to take pics at some weird angles to try and get the reflection of the lights out of the photos.
    The tank has been running for a little over a year and it's crazy how much stuff has grown in that time frame. We've had some stuff die for unknown reasons but over all, everything is in awesome shape.

    First shots are of the welslo coral. I really hope this thing splits. Also in the pic is some neon green candy cane. This is from the same colony we started off with which you can see earlier in this thread. I think we started off with 14 little heads of it and now we have 2 big colonies in this tank, another frag that we saved from the sand bed, and another couple of colonies that we have in our personal tanks.

    The second colony of green candy's

    The hammer corals which started off as 4 heads.

    A galaxy coral which I started in my personal tank, but found it to be too aggressive, so I moved it to this tank.

    Our clam, we traded about 10 stalks of pulsing xenia and 4 heads from our hammer colony. The clam has grown quite a bit in a short amount of time that we've had it.

    Another colony of the hammer coral that we fragged and put in another part of the tank.

    The candy cane we saved. It was 2 little shrivled up heads that we found buried in the sand where our red pistol shrimp lives.
    Also, some red paly's. I initially bought one head for 20$ for my personal tank. The colony grew to about 25 heads, so I took one head and put it here. In a couple months it took off. If anyone can ID them, that would be cool, cause I have no idea what they are, but $20 per head seemed pricey and now I have a lot of them.
    Also the lime green monti cap I bought for $10 at least doubled in size in 2 months.

    Our duncan colony

    Another frag that I added from my personal collection which is growing a lot.

    Two weeks ago we cleaned house on the xenia, it's starting to grow back already.

    A frag of the duncan coral that we moved to the other side of the tank.

    The bubble coral thats on it's last leg. It's been dwindling for the past 6 months. Also some red muchrooms that I shared from my personal tank and those blueish ones that we bought a while back which have spread all over.

    We also lost our tourch coral. LFS guy said he thinks it was a bacterial infection. We have no idea why, but it happened quick, in like a day and a half, it melted away.

    Wow, I've never seen this thread before today. That anemone is a beast, it could probably eat me.
