Pics of my 2.5 year old 40 breeder

Wanted to share since the tank is finally starting to grow in a little. I kept changing my mind on what I wanted to keep so I swapped out quite a few corals. Still have some voids I want to fill in but I want larger colonies so I am leaving room for growth. I have done my best to group corals that will hopefully not annihilate each other.

Sorry for the blurry/overly blue phone pics...

















Melenarus wrasse was not a model citizen so it has been removed.

i love breeders. Great looking tank, good taste in corals I was wondering what the coral/critter is right below and to the right of the beautiful torch? Red and looks like a huge poly/duncan type thingy

I like it whatever it is.

That's a dendrophyllia which are related to duncans I believe. Thanks!

Much appreciated!!! Weekly water change and a glass scarping have kept it up pretty well. Here is an older pic from the side which shows the scape a little better. Took me a while to get it where I liked it. I had to trade in the big tenuis in the middle. It was getting too big and shaded the favia below too much.
