    Thanks.Its quite simple and easy to take care of .I have been neglecting it quite frankly but that term is subjective.;)
    Its a Platygyra.I can't quite get my camera adjusted correctly.Its actually green with blue "mouths". It is unlike any other I have seen.I had opportunities to sell it but I said no way!!!lol Maybe when it gets bigger i will find the courage to chop a piece off and share some.:-/

    If you don't find the urge to chuckle with a couple barnacle blennies in the tank have yourself checked by a doctor.;D

    That's some nice wildlife there. I used to catch anoles when I was kid and now they sell for 10 dollars at petco. Crazy. If you decide on sharing that amazing coral please put me on the list! Lol. Tank really does look amazing vinny.

    Thanks Mr.B.
    Thanks John.
    Either of you(or anyone else for that matter) know the difference between a Starcki Damsel from Tonga or Java? Can't find any info as to the difference if any????
