Nice little reef you got there! Do you have anything else in there next to corals? Thinking fish or invertebrates..?

Also, the coloration coming of the AI looks rather purple or ?

Thank you,
At the moment theres just a snail in there. But im still unsure about a fish or inverts. I dont want them to damage my LPS or SPS. But i might eventually get a small black clown goby or some type of shrimp/crab. Just not sure yet, any suggestions?

The light is pretty royal blue. I took the picture in RAW format and it just boosted the colors way more then they actually are. I'll get better pix soon once i add some more little corals.

If i were you i think i'd go for a small goby indeed, or maybe a few sexy shrimps?

The goby seems liek the less dangerous route. I want sexies super bad and that was the point of the build to begin with. I just worry about them irritating my lps.

The sexies shouldnt bother anything. Ours lives in his frogspawn in our aquarium and doesnt bother it one bit.
I have some plans in the works to set up a little pico just for some lps and sexies to live in
