Hey all. I have been a long time freshwater hobbyist but took the plunge into reef aquarium just over a year ago. I started small with the Fluval 13.5. I went through the normal growing pains associated with starting a new tank but feel like everything is now balanced nicely. The corals I have are showing nice growth recently and the fish seem to be doing great. (2 clowns, fire fish and clown goby). I realized a few months in that the tank I have is probably not big enough for what I would like and may do an upgrade at some point in the future. For now I have the 13 in my office and it provides a nice break from the daily routine.
I have a feeling that my lack of knowledge has caused me to purchase some corals that in the long term may not work together.
Current Stock is
Palys
Zoa
Duncan
Galaxea
Clove
Chalice
Mussa
Acan
Mushroom
Gsp

I do have two corals that were impulse buys and the store where purchased could not identify. Was hoping for some help here with IDs. Looking forward to learning.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

2nd looks like a Pavona frondifera
 
Added a 3D background to my tank and while the water is still a little cloudy from the addition I really like the look as opposed to the see thru back.
