I agree with Wolfie all around on nomenclature, and I also would add, that's one boss reef!. Mine is embarassing after that show. Some ideas since I saw it, if you feed all that stuff, just a blast in the water column of various stuff, it looks like everybody is gonna get fed, I would not worry about the excess food not getting trapped, looks like you have plenty of polyps open to pick up the tiny bits. As for the gorgonian, yours is a true "purple gorgonian", and even though generally that morphological variety seems to be non-photosynthetic, judging from the color of those polyps, it would seem to likely be photosynthetic. Not sure...but one thing is sure, yours and mine are miles different. Yours seems stiff, mine is uber-rubbery. It would seem that sometarget feeding with a baster would help some of your corals, I believe if you feed cyclopeeze when everything has polyp extension going on, you might do OK with your Goniapora. No one can tell, but your tank is much further advanced than I would have thought, from a recent move. THAT must have been a BEYOTCH! Just in terms of the mushroom rocks, that is a lot of stuff to MOVE UNDERWATER! Nice bowl you got there. My favorite coral right now, and I have very little true coral, but it's my lettuce/chip coral. ONE POLYP was alive, and now as I said earlier, it has fully encrusted over it's original skeleton. OHH, and don't be totally bummed if one day for some unknown reason, your yellow polyps start to slowly disappear one by one. Some specimens just grow and grow, some look healthy one day and a month later you have a bare rock. But I like em, too.

OH, and also as far as chemical warfare, I think the only time it gets really serious is between octocorals and cndarians, or however you spell the family anemones are in. They tend to fight from GREAT distances with chemicals. Most of the other trouble you get is sweeper tentacles beteen corals, and for most, you are talking about separation of a few inches. Anemones can kill from across the tank if they start getting chemically on ya. Or so I THINK I have read. Derh. I know very little about the kid of warfare that one would get concerned about in reefs.
