Please help with the ID: zoomed out a little:

Educate me......I thought this was a blue mushroom: Here is a zoomed out pic of the 'unknown coral' that the LFS called a blue mushroom: Thanks for the help. I am trying to keep the correct names (even the scientific ones) for all my critters.

anyone have a guess?

I forgot to ask what the exact name of this blue mushroom. If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated! ID please:

Thanks Greg!

By far, my favorite fish. He has a favorite hole in the live rock, but is a very active fish overall. Such a neat personality. I think he swims like an eel. Here he his on a recent siesta:

Thanks Greg. I am getting increasingly annoyed with the tiny snails that always want to climb the front tank wall - not the sides or back. I usually collect a dozen or so and re-deposit them on the back of the live rock.

Finally caught him posing with a decent background: Is there a point in time that it becomes necessary to de-populate the tank of the CUC members? Seems all of my green hair algae is gone, and there is not much left to pick on anymore - don't want anyone to go hungry!

Tok, when you say "siphoning back in 24L...." do you use a pump to move the water back into the DT? or is your new water bucket higher than your DT and you literally siphon back into the DT? Thanks!

Water changes: Not to belabor this topic, but I have not found the answer to this question: How do y'all safely add the SW back to the tank - if you don't have a sump or an ATO? Poured from a 5 gallon bucket (seems like it would traumatize the tank inhabitants)? Anyone use a siphon pump...

That little pistol shrimp has been busy all day pushing sand out of a space underneath the blue mushroom rock. The star fish will spend 2-4 days half buried in the sand, then will climb the tank wall and hang for ~ a day. Then, it falls off and buries in the sand again. Weird creature.

I'm so stoked!!! After days of not seeing him, and almost giving up hope on the little guy............ the tiny Pistol Shrimp makes an appearance paired up with the Goby.

My current tank at ~30 days:

Cool, that's what I thought. The Clown is so proud of the Frogspawn; it is chasing away the snails and hermits while the other (larger) clown is stationed nearby. I wonder if they're already male/female? :snshne:

My clownfish is hosting in the Frogspawn!!! Will this pose a problem to the Frogspawn?
