    Wow , glad I asked Tatted4ever

    some fine looking pieces in there

    I feel guilty asking - but do you know the name of the red/ purple staghorn?

    Just a regular blue tip acro... couldnt pass it up... Paid $50 from a local reefer who has tons of it. Insane deal. Blue tips arent noticeable since I took it home in a ziplock back and most of the tips smashed. Im lucky the whole colony didnt break.

    It looks very similar to one of mine, the one that used to be my avatar



    and yep, on 2 different occasions whilst doing tank maintenance, I found out just how fragile these hard corals can be. takes ages for the blue to develop on the tips in my case and then 2 seconds of autopilot and it has to start all over again

    Thank you!!! Unfortunately all the corals I like arent the cheapest ones.... So it takes longer stocking my tank.

    This clam is awesome in person... Humungous. Makes for a good showpiece on my sand bed.

    Thanks... Everything is lookin pretty damn good so far.
