Always jealous of some of you guys who post great pictures, I noticed many of them have a very dark or black background. Having no photoshop skills I decided to DIY a background. Painted a thin acrylic sheet black and glued it to a frag rack. Here are the first results, I'll be posting for sale soon. All taken with Samsung Galaxy S10 in Pro mode at 10,000k. If anyone can put a name on 4, 7 or 9 I'd appreciate it. Thanks

7 could be a pavona
I agree. Pavona.
4) is what they called the “pink hydnophora”
And yeah; common name: pink hydnophora... although maybe is actually paraclavarina triangularis. If so, not really a hydnophora even if we call it that sometimes

(In our hobby, we misname a bunch of corals)

And 9 looks like blue ridge coral, Heliopora. They are a light brown a coloration. But if you check the underside of the skeleton, it should be blue instead of white.

Looks good Steve! I did the same when I built my 5 gallon pico. I painted the filter black with krylon fusion and it worked great for years but one day I had some sort of bacteria show up and start eating the paint. I’ve switched to using black acrylic for builds now since it’s cheap and easy to get from Amazon.
