Nephthya

Added on 5/28, this soft coral has almost doubled in size. It is up in the middle of the tank now. This picture is a close up that shows the detail of the branches and the feeding tubes. It is a great coral since it is easy to keep and it is truly beautiful. The problem is that it grows really quick so you have to watch the area around it for compatibility issues.
