Ok.. now for some end of the month pictures, mostly macros.
Yuma
Rainbow Monti
Blueberry Monti
Red and Green Monti Cap
Purple tipped Digi
Acan garden with gsp, yuma rock, gsp chalices and duncans
Dendro
Blue Tenuis
Another type of tenuis.... good lord tenuis are such slooooow growers.
Purple with White polyp unknown: Sorry for the crappy pic.. it is hard to get a pic of.
Green Bottlebrush
Toxic Chalice... this one has grown back nicely from nearly nothing.
Brown/Green Pocci... I really want to get a pink one.
Green unknown acro
True Tricolor growing back and liking it up there closer to the lights.
Unknown acro: this one hasn't done well in my tank until recently when I moved it down to the sandbed to see if that was low enough light for it.. it almost died when I had it on the side of the tank closer to the lights. So I am hoping over time it colors back up.
Red rimmed zoas
Red skirted zoas
Tank update: well unfortunately all my clams are dead. I am not sure of the definite cause, but I am thinking it was some sort of pathogen as only clams were affected for the most part, although some other corals were not happy when the clams started dying. They were withdrawn and the encrusting monti's started losing their colors.
Whatever it was, it was strange. It attacked the foot of the clam and killed it from the inside out. Right up to nearly the time of death, the clams would act normal from above, their mantles expanding and contracting, but you would have a hole you could see and mucous showing either from the side of the clam or through the foot.
Once I saw this I took the clams out, with one exception, and that was the clam my RBTA is attached to. It is very happy where it is and I don't want to screw that up.
After the two larger maximas died.. and oh how I loved my gold teardrop...
... and I did a large water change and put in new carbon the corals started improving and gaining their color back, very quickly I might add. You wouldn't know today that the encrusting monti's were almost all white.
My icefire is receeding now .. had rtn, but it has stopped so now I have almost all white stick in that area. Grr. But on the bright side, my green monti is darkening in color a lot. and everything else is growing just fine, especially the acans.
Now over the next month, I have to figure out how the heck I am going to move two juvi clowns out of this system into their own tank.. The bottle trick didn't work.. and trying to get the one from below during lights out didn't work either.. any thoughts?
