    Hi Corailline;

    Forgive the new guy, but what is the last picture in your recent post? It looks slightly like some kind of anenome, but I think it is something else?

    As always, the pics are beautiful!

    Best~Thor

    Thanks nightster.

    Hi, Thor.

    That is a Duncan (Whisker Coral), a pretty easy LPS. They are fairly fast growers, love target feedings. Mod flow and lighting. :)

    OH MY 100 pages. Maybe I need to put up some images to push it over 100.

    I promise in 3-6 months you are going to have a problem fitting anything that tank coral wise, trust me.:)

    Things start growing, stinging each other, shading each other and the fragging begins. Then you start to think of what corals you can get rid of. Next comes the dreaded upgrade and the vicious cycle starts all over. Love this hobby.;D

    Yes I miss the clams.

    Unfortunately I had a 3 month battle with dino. Just wanted a break after the dino. Tried to sell the tank but everyone want to pieces it out, selling on craigslist is a nightmare, never again (very strange people in this world), anyway after about 2 months and no return of the dino, I thought what the heck I will just let it run, a simple soft tank. I still had my one Red Planet frag, well one thing lead to another, it always does.

    Miss the clams a lot, and some of the birdsnest and the acans........


    :)

    Langston's Seafoam. Once again never got a definitive ID, have not seen any other acropora like it. White in coloration, which is cool because I rarely see true white acropora. PE like mad. It was the first to show the Red Bug infestation, but is growing at a moderate rate now. Loves the most intense lighting and high flow.

    Furry furry Millepora, that is why I love them.

    Valida growing nicely.

    Frag of Pocillopora. Has a nice green base, but still brown to reddish polyps.

    My Duncan is getting HUGE. In sand bed, not directly under the lighting, mod flow seems to be the best.

    Thank you for viewing.:)
