Hello RC! This is my first thread on this site. I was reading the latest issue of ReefKeeping magazine and checked out the SPS "show me your colors" thread featured there. Growing corals with amazing colors is what got me into this hobby and I thought it would be fun to start a thread about colorful nanos. Please post pics showing off your colors. Here's a shot of my tank to start it off.

I am not good with a camera, this doesn't show my colors very well. I'm going to try a different approach and see if I can make it better.

WOW! Your colors still blow mine away. That is nice, you must get a really good selection from LFS. It have a hard time getting what I am looking for. I waited 2 mos for a purple tip anemone. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/photofreak_021/IMG_0917.jpg

Cool tank Allie. I'd like to see a pic of the colors when the sun coral and gorgoian extend their polyps.

Thanks! They're actually neon green. I've had decent success with florida rics but I haven't had much luck with yumas.

Great tanks mr9iron and rockindacheeks!
