Green star polyps trust me!! Toadstool, i have one growing under some rocks! I've also had luck with Kenya Tree, mine keeps shooting starts off I could get you one or two this spring. I'd be happy to donate to the Sea Of Hall!

you could always do some Dendro [I]sp.[I] they dont need any light and i know you'll have plenty of pods and such for them to eat.

We will see how the light is on the bottom of the tank before I make up my mind.

I think some nice Gorgonia in the bottom of the tank would be nice, I wonder if the Angels would eat them.

I'll take a picture of the mother kenya, I've already got 3 shoots growing. It started out as a $2 frag, now its about the size of a baseball fully opened. I might have anthias for ya if you want it. Female lyretail i think.

Cool how much you want for the fish, Once I change tanks I would be interested if you want to hold it that long

Nothing yet. I gotta get the tank finished before I work on this part of the upgrade.
