Does anyone have a reef tank that is strictly Caribbean reef corals and fish? I'd be interested in knowing what animals you have in your tank.
Thanks in advance.

They have a nice display at the Steinhart (fairly large too ~1000G IIRC). No stony corals obviously, but they have a number of mushroom types (although not really any super colorful pretty ricordia or anything) some palythoa grandis(again I think), and a ton of gorgonians really thick branches ones.

My favorite bit about that tank is the fish that are in there, they had a Queen Angel last I looked (which was a while back) and a spanish hogfish which were the two that really popped out to me.

It's around 3000g in the display.

Fish are:
Queen Angel
Spanish Hogfish
Garnot's Wrasse
Dwarf Pygmy Angel
Blue Chromis
Atlantic Blue Tang
Indigo Hamlet
and some others I can't remember.
There are plans to add Cuban Hogfish and a Rock Beauty Angel.

Corals include several photosynthetic Caribbean gorgonian species, Pseudopterogorgia is one but I can't remember the other species off the top of my head. Like Mike says there are lots of Palythoa grandis and Helianthus anemones. There is a Condylactis in there somewhere too IIRC. We purchased a lot of Caribbean live rock and Erythrypodium (encrusting gorgonian that grows like a weed) and Millepora (fire coral) grew out of it. You can obtain Caribbean stony corals in the hobby, they're just hard to find.
