Full Tank, originally uploaded by tyrsdomain.
Here is a full-view shot of our aquarium after we added the Reef Tank Tuneup. You’ll have to forgive the reflection of our patio! 
Overall, everything seems pretty smooth two days after adding the coral, snails and two pink cucumbers…
Neon Green Mushroom (?), originally uploaded by tyrsdomain.
This is a photo of the Ricordea florida identified in the previous post!
The previous owner of the fishtank mentioned that we have a Neon Green Mushroom.
Our unidentified species looks quite close (although inconclusively similar) to the photo on this page: Ricordea Mushroom – Super Neon Green, so, I’m going to call our guy a Neon Green Mushroom (Ricordea florida) until I learn otherwise…
Blue Striped Mushroom, originally uploaded by tyrsdomain.
There seems to be little disagreement over whether to classify these guys as Actinodiscus or Discosoma.
Nonetheless, they are a beautiful green-blue color and they’ve already began to propagate more mushrooms. A small brown baby mushroom can be seen at the bottom middle of this photo. There are at least two other baby mushrooms, although they often hide (yes they move!) under one of the two larger mushrooms.
Also, some times they are referred to as a mushroom and other times a coral. I need to get a better understanding of this species!
Clown and Tang, originally uploaded by tyrsdomain.
The glass on the tank is a little spotty with algae, but I really like the look of the Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) and the Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus) playing. The clown fish, in particular, spends almost all of his time out in the open. At night, he sleeps within an unknown coral (I really need to identify it!).
