    Being at Reef A Palooza, trading out the maculosus angelfish prior to that. I figured I could try adding some coral. Started with a sebae anemone which I tried to snap a picture and the lights turned off. SMH The next few I got from RAP Figured why not.

    I have a brain coral skeleton and I added a base to it. So now it looks like a mushroom. I added two Green Star Polyps to it so it can take over the whole rock and it will sway in the current. At least that's the plan. The leather coral I bought it just because I've always like how big they get. And the torch coral. So I will be asking for advice soon I'm sure of it.

    Don't worry about the leather bud. Mine go through stages of looking horrible for months then all of a sudden there great. Plus they shed as well. It took a month at least for my devils hand to acclimate to my halides.
