1x maroon clown
1x yellow tang
3x green chromis
1x yellowtailed blue damsel
2x firefish goby
1x watchman goby (missing)
1x cleaner shrimp
1x scooter blenny
?x hermit crabs and assorted snails

you know a tank that big with that many hiding places i would find the biggest maroon you can and put it in there and get a pair.

That looks like Organpipe to me. Actually the tentacles fluoresce under the proper lighting. Unfortunately it is unsuitable for a nano because it grows large and fast

Thanks Bob,
The tentacles fluoresce too? Do you know what color? It looks like the centers would glow green. I like it.

Looks like it could be Clove or Glove polyps (Clavularia sp.), or perhaps Waving Hand polyps (Anthellia sp.).

Doesn't really look like Tubipora musica ("Pipe Organ" or "Organ Pipe") to me...

Well Tony I think you are correct. However, nomencature wise, I think since the tubes look like the pipes on a Pipe Organ, the coral should be called Organ Pipe, as there is a lot more to a Pipe Organ than just the pipes (my 2 cents). Upon close inspection, and comparing it with the actual Organ Pipe you so kindly gave me, I think the coral in the picture is not Organ Pipe.
