    Just traded in my fungia plate. As much as I loved the thing the flame angel also seems to share my beliefs as it would take a little nip every now and then while swimming by the fungia stopped coming out during the day. Luckily the flame seems to leave everything else alone so rather than let the fungia slowly die I traded it in and got a Branching Duncan frag with 1 large head with a small bud and a small head, and 2 florida ricordia. Pictures to follow, they were acclimated yesterday but I placed them and did a WC today so theyre a little ticked.

    Any special care I should know about? I placed the ricordea by my others and the Duncan I planted on the substrate

    I just got a Duncan about 2 weeks ago. It's probably one of my favorite corals :) My Ric hasn't grown at all, though.

    Yea Im hoping they grow into a ncie sizes colony, its be neat if they branch. Im nto sure what other corals I can add to the tank im looking for ones that flow with the current and our really bright and colorful but am kind of dissapointed whenever I see whats available in person, never lives up to the pictures taken under pure blue light
