This is one of my favorites (at least today it is). It's about 3/4 of the way back in the tank, behind the branching brown montipora digita on the right side of the tank. . .

Clownfish amaze me with some of the things they choose to host in, you would expect they would go after something that looks more like an anenome than a brain coral. They are so neat to watch though.

Very nice tank!!

Do you have any luck feeding you rainsford prepared foods or does he just pick around?

I haven't made an attempt to feed the rainford prepared food because he has a fine selection of greens, in the form of hair algae, to pick at :D .

Thanks, Sugar.

Carl: Just an HOB and an oscillating powerhead, in combination they do a good job of keeping the surface crud broken up.

Thanks a lot for the feedback...

I had a good bit of coraline growth early on. It started to die off when my lights started to go after 10-12 months of use. I also changed from IO to Oceanic salt and am supplementing reef builder to aid my low alkalinity. This has helped bring some of the coraline back.
