That's pretty nice for only 4 months old. Is that a sun coral under the cave area or just some yellow polyps (I couldn't really tell from the pics) ? Nice either way. That clown is pretty sweet too.

it does look very nice, plenty of corraline as well for such a young tank, you must have great params, and i hope so as the livestock will need pristine water, and with such a young tank its hard to maintain, but good luck and hope the nem thrives.

yeah its a sun coral in the back......Thanks for the compliments. Never knew it would be so addicting.

like it a lot, nice looking tank. Only suggestion I can make is that that plate/fungia will likely be happier on the sand, as I have heard they can be irritated by the rock.

[prospectclmt]

cool thanks for the info ill find a new home for it.

[Chiefsurfer]

don't go just by my say-so, I am by no means an expert. Might want to head down to the LPS forum and just ask if fungia are better off on the sand. Once again, lovely tank. Wish mine looked that nice after 4 months.
