    Well as some of you know, while changing my reef to a double island. I damaged my birdnest frag. I re-fragged the main one and created 2 more babies off of it. They look pretty good at the moment...Pray for them LOL.
    I also felt bad and had to buy a NEW Yellow Birdsnest. (You know...So I would feel better.) Here are some pics of the frags, and new nest. Polyps are not really out yet.

    Nice looking corals. That first one looks like an ORA bird of paradise that has had a little too much light. The second one looks like it will be a really nice green birdsnest.

    Very nice, i think you won't have any problem with the birdsnest except where to put them all.

    Thanks!! Polyps are fully extended. I think they have a good chance. The frag rack is by E-shopps. It is held with magnets. I really like it!! Here is a link.

    I thought the same thing, but by the time you do, you will spend close to the same. I like DIY too, but this was a no brainer plug and play!!

    awwwww......how absolutely noble of you to buy a nice yellow birdsnest friend to help your injured one by giving it some company :)

    I think that was oh so nice of you to do! Of course you feel better now!

    *grin*

    Nice stuff and that frag rack is nifty :) Hope the frags heal and keep on growing for you!
