My Urchin having a wander after munching his way through some of my coralline algae 'left' The same Urchin being manhandled by my edible cucumber. these are fantastic sand bed cleaners 'right'.

A green plating Montipora growing new flukes 'left' and a shot of my fire coral which resides next to the base of my leather. Because of the light from above, you can clearly see the bristles that give this coral such a strong sting. 'right'

A Millipora frag, growing less than 5" from the surface, on the top of a piece of branch rock. This is strait underneath a 250w 10k halide and two T5 actinic 03's in a very strong flow. 'left' An unknown Acropora with very fleshy polyps the pale sections are new growth tips that have emerged since doing some large scale water changes. 'right'

My blue/green Squammosa clam from above. This one has nearly doubled in size from 4" to around 7" since introduction in July last year, colouration is simply due to receiving allot of light from a 250w 10k halide and two T5 actinic 03's that are directly overhead. 'left' The outer section of a plating Acro that is gradually healing over damaged areas. The pale outer sections are newer pale lime green growth tips. (a frag I took of this colony is growing extremely quickly) 'right'.

A recent addition to control a small algae outbreak a 3" Lettuce slug who goes by the name of 'Munch Munch' (left). A survivor from earlier times a green and purple Acropora that is coming back strongly. (right)

'Munch Munch' posing for a photo shoot..... Go on....give us a kiss!!

This shot  was taken in August 04.

This one was taken in September 04

This was taken in January 05. Note the heavily pruned Sarcophyton on the right which was beginning to shade out my fire coral. Also note the growth of the plating Montipora on the far left hand side which is now touching the front glass.

This was taken in February 05 after switching my Turbinaria and plating Acropora around to improve space and prevent fighting between colonies. Also note the growth of the branching Acropora in the centre of the bridge, and the colony at the far left hand end which is now at the waters surface..

This most recent shot was taken in June 05. Note the growth of the stag horn coral in the middle.

A close up of the coral mentioned in Feb., you can see how close the lead polyp is to breaking the waters surface strait underneath a 250W halide. Acropora tenuis on the right is a recent introduction.
