One of the tanks I set up and maintain. This tank recently crashed due to a power loss over the weekend, but it's on the way back.

Nice, what are the purple (sponges/corals)?
 
Thanks. The purple looking critters are blue mushrooms. As soon as I took the skimmer off this tank, the mushroom population exploded. This tank uses an Ecosystem sump with about 1800 gph thru the sump and it works quite well. You want a couple of the blue shrooms? I can probably send them to you depending on where you are.
 
That is definately sweet!! What are the red/brownish circular looking things in the top center of the tank? If that shroom offer is an open offer, pm me. I've been looking to add some.
 
Those are, if I'm not mistaken, palythoa. They're similar to zooanthids, but larger and some of them contain a pretty nasty toxin called palytoxin.
