Away from home this week so I don't have any updated photos.
This is an older pic. cyphestria also covers the bottom of my tanks.
The cyphestria actually overtakes the cloves.
Sideway pic, can't correct that

that is awesome! I bet that looks killer with the flow. I love how my cloves flow in the current like a meadow.

At one time or another: Aiptasia, majanos, hydroids, evil crabs, flat worms, kenya trees and mushrooms. Oh, and a breeding Mama Fireclown that insists on taking a piece of me everytime I put my hand in the tank. Bitsh!

Astneria Starfish- I have those as well but they appear to be harmless, makes me think that maybe there are two similar species....

Vermatid Snail- destroyed it with pliers quick and easy, not really harmful, just an irritant

Aptasia - had 3 of them on my corea clam --> just add peppermint shrimp all gone within 3 days

Planaria Flatworms - had a few on my black suncoral (even after I coral Rx'ed it!) just recently added a Flatwormicide...Lost my stomatella snails in the process even after a 30% water change ony 30min after adding the stuff

Zooanthid eating nudibranchs- I had many! it took me a while to figure out what they were but I set up a zoo hospital! basically did 5min freshwater dips in RO water and scrubbed with a toothbrush to remove eggs. Didn't lose a single polyp
