If it was the worm wouldn't it come out at night?

OMG
That looks amazing. It is an accomplishment to create such a nice pico and have it look like this.
I do not have the patience for marine.

Tank still looks great Adam, W2G

 

[guppy_man]

that looks amazing for such a small tank, i read through all your other posts on that other website, how much did it cost you?
not to the exact penny

 

[timpetty]

May be a stupid question but.... Adam can you ID these two corals for me? I love them.

 

[chrissaysyes]

The first looks to be acopora, the second is plate coral.

Bali Green Slimer is it?

 

[SkiFletch]

Second coral is a tentacled plate coral

First one... Wow umm, any idea what part of the world it comes from? My guesses would be:

Acropora verweyi
Acropora nana
Acropora digitifera
Acropora globiceps

Definitely of the Acropora genus, but identifying it to the species level is gonna be really really tough

 

[adam.crouch]

the orange one is a plate coral (fungia) and the green one i think is a green staghorn which actually looks like the pic below now the polyps have come out.

i dont really like to think how much ive spent on the tank altogether but this is a rough guess of what i have at the mo

Glass £5
silicon £10
acrylic £10
light £60
live rock £15
auto top up £65
power heads £40
corals £150
cleaner shrimp £15
hermit crab £1
snails £10

total = £381


then theres all the water, salt, ro buckets, tests, aditives, stock thats died etc.....
