Is that German digitata? (not sure) How are the sps doing under the t5's. What is you live stock?

[Shouse94]

U know, I really can't tell you on the SPS.
An ID would be nice. I was told they were monti's
I've had the green SPS for well over 6 months and i've had great sucess with it. Good growth and good polyp extension. I Just got the caps and the blue, orange Monti about 2 weeks ago. The blue monti is slowly starting to look better.

I'm having no problems with the T5's. As long as you have enough wattage per gallon with them and keep them low to the water surface they're great.

I'm horrible with trying to capture the fish but the livestock consists of:
astrea snails
skunk cleaner shrimp
1 scarlet hermit
2 emerald crabs
1 Blue Hippo Tang (small, I will return when it gets too big)
1 Naso Tang (Same as above)
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 paracheilinus lineopunctatus (Red Rooster) Fairy Wrasse
2 Ocellaris Clownfish, I believe they're a mated pair or in the process

Corals:
Green Star Polyps
Green Candy cane
Wood polyp (need ID please)
Pulsing Xenia
Green/Blue/Orange SPS (need ID plz)
Orange Cap
Red Mushroom
Blue Mushroom
Blue zoos (need ID plz)
Orange zoos (need ID plz)
brown/green zoos (need ID plz)
Frogspawn

Sorry for not knowing the exact names. I've never got exact confirmation.

Yes german digitata is a kind of monti. And the orange one is a orange cap.

Here ill try to help..
The orange encrusting coral is a Montipora capricornis.

The green sps looks like some sort of a birdsnest coral which is an sps but im not exactly sure on that one. It could also be a montipora digi.
