    In the past couple weeks I got a couple new additions to the tank, I got a pulsing xenia about the size of my palm for $15 a Tube Anemone for $30 a copper banded butterfly fish $40 and a red jewel goniopora with blue polyps for $80. Here are some pictures of the new aquascapes and critters, there is a much larger cave system on the right, more places to put coral on right side etc.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks great. The toad stool and birdsnest really stand out as the center pieces.

    Nice adds! Was it a risk putting in the copperband? I thought they were known to sometimes nip at acropora...

    Thanks, those 2 are my favorite pieces in my tank the toadstool gives really great movement to my tank and the green birdsnest is really bright and I grew it from brown little stumps with barely any polyps showing, actually rubber banded all the pieces together and its what it looks like today polyps swaying in the current. The pink birdsnest was literally a dark brown when I got it.

    The copperbanded was in a tank with acro's, and I never really heard about the nippage at acro, only risk I heard of was to tube worms but I loved the look of them, which was why I had to get him, he wasnt nipping at any of the corals in the tank it was in either. Although I had some small feather dusters maybe like 14 of em but I wasn't to attached to em he in one day at all of them, and then turned on the aptasia in my tank.
