WELL!! It's been a while...had a few issues, particularly with algae wow... just getting it under control now. Probably a good reason why I haven't put in much coral etc yet. Have a look at these pics. There's a lot of stuff in here I haven't taken a pic of but I will try to in the next few days. Please comment and identify things etc and suggestions are always welcome!
2x clowns
1x yellow tang
1x spotted blenny
1x gold headed goby
1x blue star
2x shrimp (two types can't remember)
1x bubble tip anemone
1x struggling/sick anemone
1x leather coral
2x other corals (not 100% sure)
1x struggling coral...
the anemone and coral that are struggling are ones im trying to save from another tank which was poorly done. Hopefully I can do something with them.
sorry of image quality - only had an iphone on hand!!

Hi Mitch - good to see you again. Good to hear you're winning the battle with algae. If you're looking for IDs on the corals:
Picture 1 - a Duncan (Whisker) coral (possibly a few dead heads)
Pucture 2 - a Euphyllia - probably a torch coral
Picture 3 - Xenia
With the algae receeding now you can hopefully get things going again! The anemone looks a bit bleached but will hopefully do better in the 250. That blue Linkia looks fat & healthy!

Pretty rock, fish & corals !
Thanks for your comments. Yeah I was going for a more natural (as possible) rock look.
More coral coming this week so more pics on their way (and I'll use a proper camera!) and also try get a few of my shrimps
oh and with the dead heads on the coral, what would you suggest I do? I've been told I can cut them off...??
