Is that a catspaw in the last picture (the night time shot)? Would love to see a daytime shot of that (please and thank you)

I've never been totally sure of that one. I believe it's actually a pocillipora and and not a stylophora (cat's paw) as the lobes are fairly tightly spaced. It has bright pink flesh with green polyps. It's is by far the unsung hero of my tank. One of my first, I got it as a mere nubbin almost a year ago (it was actually a hitchhiker on another SPS frag) and has grown like mad, in relative obscurity, into a 4" wide colony. It get's out shone by some of the really epic colonies in there but it's probably my favourite.

I'll try to get some day time pics up when I'm at home later.

Thanks for the daytime shots! Agree, looks poci-ish to me too. Nice clubfoot shape to it, it must like the flow it gets.

Thats a sweet tank. We can sure tell that you love corals! Wow, nice job of the tank man.

I just use Randy's two-part, recipe #1. I dose alk every 1 to 2 days and I top of calc every three or so. I don't have dosing pumps so I do this all by hand. One day I will build something more advanced but I do secretly enjoy getting more hands on. Other than that I dose iodine once a week and change the water (12 to 20%, depending on feeding) weekly.
