New photos taken today. I'm still trying to find the best way to take photos as the lighting is all weird. I used my Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W230 and my Canon EOS 1D Mark II N. I will admit that I photoshoped the photos but only for cropping and adjusting the colors to match how it is in real life. Enjoy!

Red mushroom rock. This thing multiplies like crazy. I started with one mushroom about 14 months ago and now its all over my tank. The one in the middle of this picture grew in 8 days after one split off to the other side of my tank.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/073.jpg"><br><br>

More red mushrooms up higher. Green ric to the right, does great up high but not good in the sand for some reason.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/074.jpg"><br><br>

Orange with green rim ric. Looks like some pink is trying to come out too.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/075.jpg"><br><br>

My favorite, green bubble. In the pic its about 6" in diameter but gets about 50-60% larger.

<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/090.jpg"><br><br>

Frag of green star polyps and a small colony of unknown green zoas.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/091.jpg"><br><br>

Frag of birdsnest that broke off the main colony.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/092.jpg"><br><br>

Main frag of birdsnest that is just growing like crazy. All the small head growing off of it happened in the last 2-3 months. More RPEs below which is another fav spot for my glown goby.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/093.jpg"><br><br>
Small head of super green frogspawn to the right, broke off colony in next post when upgrading tank.

[JIvePhotography]

Main colony of ultra green frogspawn. There are about 10 heads in there. About the size of my bubble coral. This is where my sexy shrimp lives.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/095.jpg"><br><br>

Unknown green sps, hasn't grown but isn't dead. Just stays green.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/096.jpg"><br><br>

I have two clown fish that are a mated pair that host my green bubble. In these pictures you can see there is an issue with his dorsal fin. I think his slime might have come off and its where the bubble stung him??? the smaller male also has this too. This has happened twice in 18 months since I've had them. Not really sure what it is.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/097.jpg"><br>
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/098.jpg"><br><br>

Midas blenny in his home. red christmas tree worm to the right and then another button polyp in the top center.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/099.jpg"><br><br>

Another of his fav places to look out on the other side of the tank
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/102.jpg"><br><br>

Looks like he got stung on his side, dark spot, its healing though
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/103.jpg"><br><br>

<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/101.jpg"><br><br>

Rose antenna goby. He lives with a tiger pistol shrimp under the rock to the left. They have 3 diff entrances, today its in the back so not a good photo.

Just picked up a Derasa clam today from BR. Has a nice purple edge and looks bright orange from the top down. Taken with iPhone.

BTW this clam died after a few days. Not sure if it was bad or my angel was nippin at his mantle.

 

[JIvePhotography]

Thanks. I Googled it and you're right, looks just like that. If I could only make it grow...

For your unknown sps it looks a lot like my Psammocora Contigua. Google up some pics and see if you find a match.

Goby and pistol shrimp came out more and are digging around.
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/106.jpg">

 

[JIvePhotography]

Well its feeding time in the tank and as soon as I put in some PE Mysis shrimp and some cyclopeeze everyone come runnin. The goby and the pistol shrimp burst out of one of their burrows that they had blocked like it was on fire!
<img src="http://www.JIvePhotography.com/newreef/108.jpg">

Then I found my pom pom crab. I thought he made a home behind a rock at the back of my tank but then all of the sudden he pops out from behind a red mushroom right up front that he'd been using for a tent. He grabbed a mysis as it floated by and then went back in his tent. I swear every time I look at my tank I find or see something new!
