The coral you did for fun. Turn out to be wonderful result. I was thinking it's one red/green montipora. Love the tank.

is that a DSB you are running in your display?
If so, you had your tank for 4 years and no problems?

Wow!!! I love your tank... I have a smaller tank, and so it always seems like the LARGE tanks that seem to get TOTM, are just out of my league... I always feel like there is not much about those systems that I can employ in mine, and that is usually the case
I have just one question... Does your butterfly not give you any problems about eating your corals... I want to get one of the ones that supposedly eat Majanos... The only reason that I hesitate is that people are always saying they will eat corals too! Later, NathanS |

I love the montipora "pizza" idea. I've dome something similar with two colors of m. digitata. I've got orange and yellow branches all growing together. The giant blue acro is amazing too. Nice work.

No problems with the butterfly. It is very hard to find one that eats frozen food so be very careful at the fish store and don't buy one unless you see it eat something other then live brine shrimp. I waited a long time for this one and i found it from another reefer that had him in his display so I knew he was good to go. He is my favorite fish and follows me around the tank, in fact it was difficult for me to take those pics from him being in the way all the time.
