Everything looks healthy. You've got a lot of frags close together. When they grow out you'll be pretty busy fragging all those corals.

Lookin' good, keep it up!

Thanks. I have been through my stages of frustration but every coral but one has survived that I put in my tank since day 1. I did go through a Flatworm problem that Flatworm Exit solved and also a Bubble Algae outbreak that has been going away over time with manual removal and emerald crabs.
 
some new shots about 3 months from the last few I posted:

The first 3 are full tank shots. Still learning how to take pictures. All the pictures were taken with just actinic and flash. Enjoy!

Very pretty.

Do you run carbon? I had a large toadstool in with sps when I first started the hobby and lost a lot of sps to chemical warfare. I've had the same happen with green star polyps.

I almost always keep Sarcophyton elegans (Yellow Tonga Leather) with SPS and have never had problems... I do run carbon though. I run small amounts "passively" in the sump and change every two weeks to a month.

"Green Star Polyps" do not give off the same noxious chemicals that many leathers do.
