Okay... you told me to post... lol
Thanks in advance to all for any insight... i appreciate it...
BTW - It's my birthday Wed... so i'm heading to my "Local" fish store... ACC (It's only 30+minutes away, but worth it... ) I think i'm going to add a fish or two... and a sea slug... maybe some feather dusters...
Fish i'm thinking are Kole Tang and Half Black Angel.... Thoughts...?

The rest I don't know because I don't care about names of zoas. I treat them all the same. I would a steer clear of the angel, they are known coral eaters. Koles are beautiful and most are mildly mannered.

Again the bottom red one I believe is a Zoanthid but which... also right above it is another of the green flowery ones separated by one of my favorites... this green/blue flowery one... and yes a different kind of Zoanthid above the green one... only 6 polyps... still growing...

Bottom Reds look like Eagle Eye Zoas. GSP in the middle and Blue Sympodium in the top right. Not sure about the other zoas.

It's a palythoa and usually when they have a green mouth they are called "people eaters". The color seems a little drab so other than some kind of people eater paly that's all I got.

Btw- The green slime on the rock under and over the mushroom has been there for months and hasn't grown... but hasn't gone away... lol

Going to take a shot at culturing phytoplankton and cope pods... Will use 4-6 water bottles for the phytoplankton then when dark green split and feed my cope pods 5 gallon ex-Beta fish tank... Then supplement my tank every week from the cope pods tank. Thoughts?
