Cool pics!  Check out all the Xenia.  I also love the Candy Coral.  Your toadstool is very similar to mine.  Very nice tank.  How big is it.

What size is this tank, Brian?  What's the name of the coral in the top pic?  You weren't kidding when you said those GSP's really glow.  Great stuff!  Are those xenia at the very top growing down into the tank?

its a 55 gal. you know i'm not sure what the name is it was just listed as a leather if anyone know the name let me know. the xenia grew from the middle of the tank to the top. i think i might have to cut some of it down soon.
the pics don't do the GSP justice..

They're never quite the same in pix, are they?  My tank looks totally different in pictures.  You lose the 3D, and the colors aren't as bright, and the fish are blurry cuz they're zooming around.  Got any shots of your engineer goby?  He sounds fun.

Brian, Very nice pic (the 2nd one) of the Engineer Goby. If your rock is sitting on the sand it will tumble soon if it hasn't already, thanks to the Goby. They grow to a foot or more in length, about triple the size it is now. If the rock is sitting on the bottom of the tank it will be okay.

The coral in question has many names, the worst of which is Dead Mans hand, or Devils Hand. Finger Leather is the name I prefer, but the name Adam prefers is Sinularia sp.

Wow!  I've never seen an engineer goby before.  A foot long?!?!?!  He'll be waking you up in the morning for food!

Thanks Mark thats what i thought is was but was not sure. i pushed the rock to the bottom cause i knew he would dig. I got the gobie from reptoreef years ago when he had a store. right now when he comes out all the way he's about 7" long but he hides to much
lol Renee i think Ryan had a couple of these guys.
Any one know how to get good pics with actinic's on?

Brian, your engineer looks terrific. I'm glad to see he's doing well... 3-4 years now, huh?
