My hitchiker sponge, which was determined to be some sort of leather has now turned from pink to pink/green. The mouths of each polyp have turned a bright green. Still trying for an ID. Its much bigger now.

Looking great, Astinus!!! Watch that tube anemone. They pack a very powerful sting and have a long reach - it will for sure kill any corals it can reach - probably will win a battle with your BTA as well. They're so pretty - but so mean

OMG you're right! Astinus - not trying to be a downer, but I just don't want to see you lose corals etc.

That Peach Tube Anem is, well, a Tube. I don't think it can move. But, if I need to, I will move to the back left corner area.

Thanks guys! I love the chromis. I had gotten five, two came pretty beat up and didn't even make it a day but the three are still here. That's he biggest one. It's funny - two are noticeably smaller and follow that big one around.

ha! yeah. I think he is. It's funny - if my female clown goes near his home, he will go nose to nose with her. They don't fight but they nose each other.

you've got a good eye I'm not sure where to put it so it's just hanging out on the sand bed for the time being. That RFA near it is making me a little nervous so I think I'll figure out where to put it pretty quickly before it gets stung!!

Im now 100% sure its a cabbage leather. Awesome hitchiker! Woo

We have 2 of those here and I'm going to order 2 more and 2 greens. They're coming in really good and damn nice colour. My wife's has white spots on it.
