Here are some close ups of the wife 12 gallon Nano. We have no idea what the names of some of them so if you could help thank you. We tried looking up some but couldn't really find any good pics. Here we go:

Pic 1
Can't really see it in this pic but it has some pretty neon green in it

I used my Kodak EasyShare Model CX6230
Nothing fany but it has a close up button you can use and they turn out real nice.

Numero four looks like star polyps to me. And five - pulsating zenia.

Both of which will take over if you don't keep up.

6 - another xenia?
7 - yellow polyps (a zoanthid?)
8 - is that more star polyps? the base looks kinda like organ pipe coral, but maybe it's stars growing over old stuff.

1- palythoa - button polyps
2- zoanthid
3- zoanthid
4- green star polyp
5- xenia "elongata"
6- xenia "pom pom"
7- yellow polyps / colony polyps
8- pipe organ coral (hard to keep species, looks like it is coming back or dying off, if it is coming back AWESOME!)


Nice pictures.

The pipe organ is actually coming back. I bought it the other week from Texas Tropical for $10 and its really starting to sprout back.
