yellow and orange polyps.. gsp on the left... they've been reluctant to open for a few weeks, this is as much as it has opened in a week.

nice nano...what kind of lights are you running?

I'm using Coralifes 96watt powerquad over the 10 gal.

I'll take more pics of the tank tomorrow night while the lights are still on (theyre on a timer).

Thanks for the replies!

I was thinking of upgrading to 175w MH... Would it make much of a difference?

Its been there for months now, it was actually elsewhere in the tank and decided to migrate to a place with more lighting. It is very small and hasnt grown at all, but it has darkened in color. I have tried feeding it but it usually ignores anything I squirt at it. It acts alot like a zoo. Whenever it is disturbed by my snails or my shrimp it retracts by closing up. It has two rows of tenticles and a green center "mouth."

I have thought it may be aiptasia but I'm still not convinced. I'll do some more searching before I decide to remove him. Thanks for your posts!

Very nice tank! I'm also wanting to do one around the same size (as soon as I get all my equipment ready). Great job :)

Looking good Louis! I havent had a tank with a clear back in a while - the sun shining in like that looks really cool!
