Progress of my new reef tank.

Terry, beautiful fish and very nice tank! I'm trying to nurse a red brain like the one in the reef3.jpg picture back to good health. I picked it up and it had receeded quite a bit. It seems to be doing good, though. Yours looks very nice!

If you're referring to the tang with the red tear drop at its caudal it an achilles tang.

It's a red lobophyllia. If you see any gelly like substance it will require a dip in medication.

Yeah, mine's a red lobo also. (I'm assuming you were trying to quote my post. ) Have not noticed any "gelly" substance on it. Not sure what the original owner was doing wrong, but about 1/4-1/3 of the skeleton was showing. I acquire it from a guy who got it from the original owner and he (the guy I got it from) says some of it has already grow over the the skeleton and it looks fine in my tank. Today I will try to feed it for the first time and see how it reacts to food. :wink:
