Think about if humans did that. If your wife passed on, your largest dude buddy would change gender to marry you.

Here's my tank:

My beautiful mushroom. I think the white stripes really makes the difference.

My fluffy mushrooms. They really seem to thrive. :D

And my beautiful clowns.

The green is not a coral. It's an algae that's called spindle weed. I have som nice algae in my tank. :D Not only the ugly ones. :lol:

That's one sweet looking tank. You should pick up a couple peppermint shrimp to take care of any aiptasia. I think I saw some in a few of the pics?

Actually I have two peppermint shrimps. They cleaned up all my aiptasia in four days. But I have recently added a little more LR, and I got aiptasia again, and now they don't seem to touch it! I took a round with vinegar in a syringe yesterday, but those new aiptasia are much more nervous than the ones I had earlier. They don't even let me come close! And the biggest ones are of course in difficult places. :grump:

Thanks! :D I have one more ID I would like to have. Does anyone know these zoas?

They are very small.

Today I've been to my first reef club meeting. Wow, there was much to learn! I did get the feeling that reef tank keepers are like clownfish though. That they are born men, and the biggest one change into a female. Because there were almost only men at the meeting, and we were only two women! :lol:

But what kind of zoa?

I am so happy right now. I have had a colony of green zoas since I started my tank. Today I suddenly found another species of zoas in that colony. It's a kind of zoas I've seen before, and that I have wished for (I don't know its name though). And now it has appeared in my tank for free. :happydance: What's its name? And will it live peacefully together with the green zoas it lives together with now?

The green on green zoas are called Radioactive Dragon Eyes & the green/reds are Watermelons.
