One of my favs in the tank, a colony of rare flourescent orange Parazoanthid sp. They're looking slightly woebegone due to a recent (and subsequently exterminated) predatory nudibranch attack. Gosh .. that must have been my worst infestation yet. When I first saw the nudibranch, it was like oooh! novelty! Cute! And in a month's time they were all over, in the hundreds, sucking the life out of my previous zoanthids. Did freshwater dips and manual squashing of the nudis. Nuked nudis! Muahahahaha!!
