    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Beautiful Blasto and not Blue Tortousa.

    Even if you did not need them LOL, congrats cool stuff.

    I bet your lighting really brings out the coloration to the orange mushroom and green plate.

    Appreciate it, John.

    Thanks, Cheryl. Actually, my frag tank is completely full, and I'm running out of room in the DT. Time to sell some things off, starting with the 10" Pink Birdsnest.

    Nope. Even better (IMO). It's a Bleeding Apple Bowerbanki acan. Fed it tonight and found a fourth head! Super happy with this purchase.

    It actually looks much more like a hillae rather than a bowerbanki to me (bowerbanki are not very fleshy), but that's just a detail. :)

    Nice grabs for sure!

    Couple of FTS's. After having the Chinese box LED's for a while, I can really tell that I need to add a UV strip, and maybe another color. The all blue actinic is great, but with the harsh white, not so much, but, they'll do for now. The frag tank has much better color overall with Rapid LED PAR 38's.

    Twisted frag tank picture. Not sure why that happened. :p
    It's getting full, I'll have to sell some things off soon.

    ...and a tiny, tiny orange Ricordia baby I found in the gravel last night. I put it in a plastic container along with a rock to keep it from floating away. The baby crawled onto the the rock over night, and I put it on the frag rack this morning. It's only about 1/8". Doing great so far.

    Great shots Jerry, the mushroom coral is a Majano anemone.

    Looking great Jerry. I really like the lamp shades you have over the frag tank lighting. Very elegant and simple looking.
