Pocillopora damicornis fragged on 8/11/07.

Loctite super glue control gel was used on the frags.

The benefit of using sun glass plugs is that they can easily be trimmed to fit in their new homes.

This very small piece of life rock in Reef A has a feather duster, Xenia and Taro Tree coral colonies besides algaes.
Banggai Cardinal in Reef A.
Note the size of the Star Polyp colony - and the Xenia. The coral on the right is a Pocillopora damicornis. The mother colony is up higher and appears more bleached out.

Reef A:
The Yellow Tang does not seem to care for having its picture taking. Actually I think seeing the camera spooks it. It is swimming over an extensive bed of Pom Pon Xenia.
