My Reverse Hallucination zoanthids, I have shared these a few times, they were starving for a while and I have been working to help them get their color back. They are looking much better.

These are called "Sunny D" zoanthids I picked them up on Saturday. They opened right away and look very healthy with perfect coloration for this variety. These are easy to care for and will do well with clean water and available food. Medium light intensity should give this proper coloration.

Things are moving in the right direction, though there is still quite a long ways to go. I cut up my large colony of utter chaos to make 5 new frags. We wi...

These Reverse Hallucinations zoanthids nearly starved and I have been trying to get them back to good health. I am finally making some more visible progress. First post on these was back in September. Recently I had to cut the plug apart because they were about to grow together. Huge difference!

I believe this is a zoanthid eating spider, and if it got in my tank I would have been in trouble!

New coral, let's see what it looks like.

I add a goniopora to the tank for the first time, lets see how I do taking care of it. My macroalgae is looking particularly good, and my new filter design ...

Seeing some hope for some of the corals that have been struggling with starvation.

There are 2 of my zoanthids I suspect have receded badly due to low food availability. In this video we see at least one of those getting better and opening...

I feel a little like I am chasing my tail trying to get consistent growth out of these algae and good coloration and extension out of the coral.

I feel like I'm chasing my levels but things are looking pretty good. It's time to clean out the ocean tank.Intro Music by WintergatanSong: Sandviken Strad...

One of my light sockets burnt out, how am I going to keep everything going?

I finally discovered pro mode and it looks so much better!

I found a mode on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 camera that I have missed for so long. I knew about the Pro photo mode but not the pro camera mode. This makes t...

Some things look great, kind of waiting to see how things go.

I thought this Duncan looked pretty good under the old light. But then I replaced the bulb yesterday and it opened twice as large and even looks like it has more tentacles. Worn out bulbs are a lot more serious of a problem than I thought.

I came back from vacation and my tank looked great, problem solved.

Back from vacation, and it all looks great. My brother did an awesome job taking care of it all.

These are Utter Chaos zoanthids, a month ago I cut 5 single heads (polyps) off of my colony to grow. Two of these heads now have 3 each, I think this is because the heads were large when I cut them off the colony.
