Green Bubble Tip Anemones (they keep splitting ):

Green Stylophora frag from IMAC, Acro frag and xenia- frags doubled in size over 4 months, can't wait to see in a year :

Green Clown Goby (not the best pic) in an acro frag-got 3 of these guys, they are really cool to watch:

Tubastrea - note the polyp upper right with new buds-frag was not doing well in frag tank so moved to reef, and now it's growing:
