Thanks!!! In rebuttle to your post wayne, I dont ever feed on the day that I introduce fish into my tanks, but the day after I got the Swallowtail I fed Mysis Shrimp and the Emerald Entree frozen cubes and she ate those up like a champ. Yesterday I fed freeze-dired Brine Shrimp and again she ate very well. She is about 6 inches long, almost fully grown.
Here are the 2 new corals that I got the other day.
This was labled in the store as Frogspawn but I believe that it is Hammer. What do you think?? I will get a better pic when it comes out more.

These are bright (even though it didnt really show the pic) green Zoos. I think they look nice on that rock!!

And here's a few other pics for fun!!

This is my Striped Dottyback (above and below). Can you see all of the Baby Kenya Trees (below)?!?!

I love the tank, absolutely gorgeous. That doesn't look like hammer to me, because attached to the hammer looking parts are other little tips, like there would be on frogspawn. A detailed picture of a polyp would make for a sure decision.

Here are close-ups:
I think the seaweed that I got was Euphyllia but Im not positive. And yes the Tang LOVES his Seaweed!!

My camera wont let me get a closer so I hope that these help.

that is frogspawn, you can tell because on some of the tenticles there is more than one pink tip the tips of the tentacles on a hammer would be a bit wider and also al little curved, almost like a "C" but not as curved, and nice zoanthids, are they the green and purple variety?

well, your seaweed is definitely not Euphyllia; Euphyllia is the family (or is it genus) of a bunch of corals, specifically hammer/anchor, torch, forgspawn/grape/octopus.

I would agree that the coral is probably frogspawn.

Your "seaweed" (more properly macro-algae) appears to be Caulerpa

OOOPS!!! :rolleyes: I thought that it sounded right cause when the guy told me the name of it (I just told him the bubble seaweed) it ended with an A. I just assumed that was it. As you can tell I dont know the scientific names for stuff. And I geuss thats what I get for Assuming!! *twirlysmi LMAO!!!
