I dont now all the species names or specific common names so I'll do the best I can

corals

softies-about 10-12 diferent zoas/palys, kenya tree, gsp mat, anthelia everywhere, mushrooms
SPS- hynophora sp, montipora confusa, birds nest
LPS- hammer, 2 different acans
clams- black maxima, gold maxima

fish- green coris wrasse, yellow tang and a tomato clown fish

I think thats everything. working on getting more sps since I got my LED's up and running about a month ago.
I'll try and get some close up shots when I get a chance to take some.
