Thanks! Here's the first "wide" shot of the tank

Also, got this little "flower" at reefapalooza but don't know what it is...

We've been having an algae issue, and the tank might be on the cold side... 71.7º F

Consistency is most important for temps. That pick looks like a clove polyp

@Coral reefer thanks for the ID! and we're having a lot of temp fluctuations... going to program our APEX with a heater

noticed two of these guys today... should I tweezer them out? one of them grabbed a flake of fish food, it was actually pretty cool to watch

 

[Coral reefer]

Those guys are good scavengers

So we're about to move our tank... from our workspace to the house, going to do some research and post a plan... Any tips are greatly appreciated! ( just when our toadstool coral started to look happy) Once it's home, I'm going to start posting more regularly, being new to the hobby it's been a ton of fun to learn along the way, and want to keep a better record for newbies to benefit from.

Have a spare 10g tank or something you can keep live stock in at home? Would make your job a whole lot easier.
