nice...should be good additions to the tank

 

[FishGeek]

Hey me too! I got a LT Plate Coral ($40) and some Xenia ($25). I know that Xenia grows like a weed but there isnt going to be much more added to the tank so its ok.

my favorite is the mushroom. its "hairs" end in an orangish pink tip. will the mushroom eat mysis shrimp? will any of them eat mysis?

Your corals, all of them "soft corals" as they don't have calcified skeletons, are photosynthetic. The algaes, the zooxanthellae that live inside them (also the stuff the white witch in the lion, the witch, and wardrobe uses to create turkish delight and hot cocoa), thrive off light, like plants. Some people feed their zoos mysis and such things, but not everyone does. I feed mysis as well as cyclopeeze and phytoplankton to my tanks and the soft corals catch a little bit, but it's probably not necessary.

Ricordia is a mushroom. I just found it! It is just a type of mushroom. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=598

i dont think i have Gsp's any more, are these the same as GSP's?

 

[FishGeek]

No. I dont think those are the same..

there close--GSP are P. violacea (something spelled like that), and you have Briareum
