A friend suggested I post this tank. I started this tank August 2020 in my store during the pandemic from sheer boredom. (Sorry can't say where I work) I ran undisturbed until Feb 28 this year when It got a rescape. It had gotten overcrowded with zoas and such and needed a change. Some coral stayed others where removed. I went with more sps this time and hope it grows in the way I've planned. Yes I know it's a small, yes the canister police will bash somthing. It's OK. I rotate tangs threw the tank. It's had a purple and a luitenent both moved out after growing too large and now has a bristletooth. It also houses 5 green chromis, 2 pandemic barnical blennies, 1 trimma goby, 1 greenbanded goby, 1 skunk cleaner, 3 peppermint shrimp, and 2 sexy shrimp. Forgive the cell phone pics, I'm no photographer.

Thank you. They don't split often but usually stay big and open when the lights are on. I feed reef roads once a week mixed thick.
