    Very nice and boy do those things get huge. I had a two headed toadstool once and each head was as large as a dinner plate.

    Very nice.

    You are rockin now.

    Same corals I started out with.

    Need some frogspawn, colts, kenya trees now.

    When they get big, chop them up and before long will fill tank.

    I have a Kenya Tree and it came on the live rock, those things seem indestructable. It deals with high salinity well.. and it shrivels up so small without light, but when you get some light to it they really open up! I probably won't get any other soft corals because I know they can release toxins.
