thats the problem lol you can't see it when they're open, plus it probably moved by now... :(

check your older pic if you have it. it could be a sundial which you do not want...I also found a sun-dial snail on my zoas. I'm glad I found it in the acclimation bag...

Your tank truly looks awesome! Happy Hour at a fish store - does it get any better than that? I can always find something at the LFS, even if I'm not looking for something :P Anyway, great looking tank!

Your tank is looking great. It is really nice with the large tall rock. Is that a Hydor Pico Evolution pump that you are using? What's your opinion on the pump, I was considering replacing my MJ1200 return pump on my NC with the 1200 because it only uses 8W. Your coral selection is nice.

Thanks for the kind words , Yes I am using a Pico Evolution pump and I am very happy with it. It provides plenty of flow for my tank. I would replace the Maxijet 1200 with a Evolution 1200. 20W vs 8W is a no brainer provided it fits in your 12g pump chamber. I think you will be very happy with it. Dr. Foster & Smith has them on sale right now. Good luck hope this helps ! :)

Picked up a Gorgonian the other day feeding it Marine Snow and it's doing great. Here are a couple of quick photos I shot yesterday.

Update , The tank is doing great I just added an ATO as you can see in my FTS the large pain killer medicine bottle works for the time being as a snail guard for my float switch. I am going to try and find an old film case I have one somewhere around here just have not had time to look for it. I picked up some Zoanthids since the last FTS. Here are a few pics :D
