Some fun shots and an SPS ID please.

Well, from 10am to 3pm today I cleaned my tank. What I did:

- cleaned the entire skimmer
- cleaned both seio pumps
- took my fluval 404 offline.
- siphoned out & removed as much nasties I could.
- did a 10g water change.
- moved some corals and added some new ones.

I also added 5 turbo snails and an emerald crab to my system on Saturday. I haven't seen the emerald since introducing him though. I hope he's still alive.

I know it doesn't sound like much, but my equipment was pretty gunked up. I plan to keep on top of everything now, I won't let any more buildup take over my tank walls. The tank looks amazing now in person.. I'll never be able to take a decent shot with my camera. Anyways enough blabber .. took a couple pictures.

New full tank shot as of today.







Here's the ID I was wondering about. My guess is green slimer.. if that's the case I already have a frag of it, but that's fine, I am a sucker for green SPS. (and yes I can see there is some minimal damage to the tips .. my friggin' red mille colony fell over on it. argh)






More pics to follow..

The slimer I currently have.. (from chin)





Look at the colour difference in this shot..





And here is a much better shot of the red mille I posted a picture of that coloured up so nicely.

And a new hammer coral I picked up this weekend... I love these things, glad I got myself one.





And I can't leave out this guy.. weird thing is I have had him for over 4 and a half months. He does not eat any meaty foods, flakes, anything. I worried for a bit but he's a fat little bugger, so he must be maintaining off my algae (which I have a never-ending supply of )




Well, there's my fun Sunday.. whoo hoo hah.. ?

I am going to venture a guess.... green branching acropora?

Seriously though I think it is hard to say. I have seen 3 different slimers and they all look different. There are so many species of branching acropora and I'm sure a lot of them come in green.

Honestly the only thing I noticed about mine is it actually is really slimy to the touch! Does the new one feel slimy? Did it produce much slime when you put it in the tank?

[OCDP]

Yeah it slimed up like a mad man when I touched it, hence why I assume it's green slimer. Also, the two just look very similar.

Great tank. do you have any before pics to compare with? the new corals look awesome. i really like the hammer. also i have been meaning to ask about your avatar for a while now, where exactly is it from? it looks really familiar, maybe an Japanese animation movie?

I really have no idea where the avatar came from.. it looked cool and funny so I stole it. Yes, I stole it. haha... so yeah.. that's that.

Thanks again
