Sice the last post, the Montipora have died for unknown reasons. Think it might be my lighting. I have also recently added a Foxface tang to the tank to get rid of the green hair algea. Within about 1 week after adding the tang, all my green hair algea has dissappeared. He has done the best job of all options I have tried previously, including yellow tang, lots of snails and crabs, and manual scrubbing of the rocks. I never tried a sea hare, but I have heard that sea hares are hard to keep because once they dispose of the algea, they die quickly. The foxface I have is supposed to be an algea only eater, however I have seen him eating mysis shrimp and other food I feed my other fish with, so I do not think that he will starve, which is good, because he will keep tabs on the algea.
I am still trying to find someone to take one of the pieces of colt coral from my tank, since it is outgrowing my tank. If I dont find someone soon, I'll just have to trim them back a bit and throw out the extra.
