More updates!!! Ya some are the same angle shots, but I figured why not give you guys all the ones I had taken! Enjoy. The guy in the first two is a angler fish. The "feather duster" is a coco worm.

Thanks!!!:D I need some more color in my tank, any ideas on what small coral I can get to add that final burst of color?
 
Zoanthids, Acans, or Trumpet

There are lots of choices. Look around on some sites for corals that would fit your lighting.

Kk sounds good, I need to stop looking for corals now and study for organic chemistry.....like thats going to happen:ROFL:
 
Also, how hard are trumpet corals to care for and what type of lighting do they need?

They are pretty easy. They don't need to be fed but will benefit from it. Small pieces of meaty marine food are good.

Medium lighting, so metal halides aren't necessary but obviously not standard fluorescents. Medium flow as well, so pretty much any flow is ok. Just no direct laminar flow as that will cause problems.

Awesome! Ill have to look into getting one soon to finish off the tank. Im picking up a 29g biocube this weekend, any ideas as to what I should stalk in it when I get it all set up and what not?
 
Hey, looks good!

The PE mysis is the best frozen food I've found. I like to give it a rinse after I thaw it to get the little bits out, but if you are feeding soft corals with it, that would be kinda counter produtive.
