Nice tank, RP.
I read in your other post that you just purchased those leathers.. is that right?
How are they opening up now?

i put them in the tank about four days ago...
the cocoa toadstool (the one on the top left) is doing great. it is very responsive to the light and opens up nicely when the halides come on. it's polyps haven't come out yet but i'm sure they will soon.
the green toadstool (the one on the bottom right) still isn't doing so well. it isn't supporting its own weight and is resting on the rocks below it. i just hope it perks up soon, I was told by the store that it was a beautiful specimen before it was shipped. fingers are still crossed.

I recently purchased a toadstool and the same thing happened. I thought it was dead for about 2 days, then it started to perk up one day. The guy that I purchased mine from said that this is common for toadstools.
Not a Reef yet but will be!
I know I have just started the cycle but wanted to post a picture on this cool page of tanks.

Just wanted to share some updated pics. I made a big change in the size of fish. The largest fish I will have are the Maroons. I think it looks more proportionate having mostly tiny fish.
I also finally got around to raising the Halides. The PVC frame is temporary until I switch the reflectors with Lumenarc or Coralvue reflectors. They were mounted to the lid on my very short canopy and were only about 3" above the water. Now they are 10" above. The fuzzy green Pocillipora has been bleached out for months and and in the lower half of the tank. In only 2 days after raising the lights, the Pocillipora has gotten a lot of it's color back. The seriatapora is also looking much better with more polyp extension.

That fish is a Starry Blenny (Salarias ramosus).
