Here's some photos.
1. the pup is Pacific's Irish Coffee "Jameson"

2.the tank is my nano that lives in my bedroom, bring my smallest tank at just 20 gallons, for perspective my largest is 600+ but is ugly and a rescue for large fish that people no longer can keep. now there are no plants in this tank (Frankly, I have a black thumb) everything you see is alive. It is all various types of coral, which are live animals, many with symbiotic relationships with algae living in their flesh.

3. a macro shot I took of a Pederson shrimp in my nano tank, this transparent little guy is about 3/4" with cute purple spots! the long tube he is perched on is a cocooned worm with a filter feeding "feather" with a beautiful gold color.

4. is a cool and rare peppermint squat lobster, this little guy has grown quite a bit since i got him. He is huge at 1.5" hehe! he is perched on the trunk to a toadstool leather, a type of coral that has no skeleton, is a hardy type of coral for most people

5. this is a cool macro shot of my mushroom coral, closely related to anemones. and are carnivores!

6. similar to the gold feather duster seen earlier this is a worm in a tube, but this one has a hard calcified tube. it's called a cocoworm.

7. this is a high demand coral in the hobby right now. this is a bounce mushroom. they have these bubbles on their surface, typical in contracting in color to the body.

8. this one is a Micromussa Lordhowensis. or called Acan for short. this coral has a slow growing skeleton, but comes in beautiful colors. it is also a great meat eater, in this photo you can see the feeding tentacles around the rim of the mouth. each individual lobe is a separate animal. that mean this is a "colony" of many animals

9. This is a photo is showing a flower anemone that is hosting a cute white spot anemone shrimp in it! cool right!?!?

as you look through the close up photos keep going back to the second photo so you can see how it all works together. yes there are 6 fish in the tank, and 30 or more invertebrates (crabs, shrimp, and other odd guys)
