    Damn... I am usually very good at the "find the crab" game. I must admit, I'm stumped.

    Very good pics Steve. You have some very interesting LPS too.

    Not sure what that one is. Hopefully when it grows out, we will find out for sure.

    Thank you jonjon
    the crab needs to up its work rate, as there is a bit of brown algae on the tips of the SPS ( only 2 branches) he does get up there, but a bit timid so any fish movement sends him scurrying back down

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Boy it is really coming along. Great coloration. The feeding images are wonderful.

    I was thinking along the lines of a Maze coral for your unidentified.

    this image is taken with the 2ft turkey baster, pipette outside of the tank so it shows clearly
    I target feed a few corals and some spreads about so everything opens as soon as I start the process

    Great looking corals. The unidentified coral might be a Psammacora or Pavona.
