Since my last update I've had a few mishaps. One of my favorite clams passed away, and that was sad. I also sadly have to report that my foxface killed one of my fishes with its poisonous dorsal spines.
I'm finally starting to see the color returning to my frags. In my despiration to get rid of the GHA I picked up some rowaphos (GFO) and immediately dosed according to the label. It bleached the color right out of many of my frags and colonies. There was some tissue resession on at least 5 frags. I also saw the death of one frag. Lesson learned, used much much less the then recommended dose.
The tank has also reached what I would term Critical Mass and then some. I have too many frags and its starting to cause some issues in the tank. If you look at the tank wrong something will fall. Lately everything seems to find its way into the grasp of the hydnophorna, which by the way is far from all other frags to prevent this. Needless to say Elkhorn is evil!
Now onto the photos. There are previous photos for most of these frags earlier in the thread if you would like to see a more pronounced progression of growth.

Note pronounced color change, 1st from moving it from the top of the tank, and then from the GFO.
This is a photo of one of the pieces I picked up from Reefwerkz closing sales. This one was completely browned out, and it had more tissue resession then it does now. I'm happy its coloring up with purple and navy tips. The tissue seems to be reclaiming the skeleton, or in the very least there is no more tissue loss happening.
Finally another shot of my mandarin making a rather odd face
