Thanks. No new pics as I am not proud of the algae battle I am in the middle of at the moment. Black hairy icky stuff. We have had it before... just have to get rid of it again!

We had an anemone die once. I'll never forget the day i finally took it out. I was using plastic tongs to take it out and it was falling apart on the way up. The second it broke the water surface, the entire house smelled like BLACK DEATH!

Great looking tank, btw. Any updated pics?

Here is an updated picture. We have a few hard corals now - one is pink birds nest - the other I haven't a clue what it is called.

If that is a hydno don't ever put it next to another coral. They have one of the strongest stings out there.
