Many, many thanks to Spike who helped with this project. Actually, he did it all...I scraped coraline, lol. Three pillars were made using acrylic rod and bridges/rocks put between (no rods used in these). There is light that shines behind but didn't show through on the pictures. Looks much better than the pic. This was a little challenging as my tank is a 60 gallon and very narrow - 48x13x24.

Looks like alot of things are opening up nicely. I see your clowns found the hammer too. Are any polyps opening up on the sea fan yet?

Yes, the clowns found their hammer. The sea fan has little bumps/fuzzies on it but they're very small yet.
