    Thank you Doratus

    Thanks Nismo , Im sure they must have thought I was bonkers, I selected a 6 inch by 4 inch piece of coral and then worried about 2 x 1 inch broken pieces I noticed on the sand bed

    Holy crap, what a long thread. Great read though. Loving the pics and congrats on the sps success. The sps bug just bit me and I will be starting to dangle my toes in the world of sps.

    Looking very nice Steve.

    I wish I could just walk into a LFS around here a find a massive enchinata like that, especially at the (assumed) price you paid. :p

    Thank you cgarner
    good luck in the new addiction LOL

    thank you Hunter
    that was my most expensive piece to date
    its about 6 x 5 inches and cost 400 local , which at todays exchange rate equates to 61 USD - which I know is a great price compared to what you may pay for a massive colony like that in the states


    well its been about 3 weeks or so and the good news is the above coral has maintained coloration nicely

    Cheryl likes this one - so update on its growth

    I have had to reposition this coral, as it was growing more on front tips and the view I was getting was more of the underside of the coral
    thus repositioned it slightly angled downwards, in order I can see the coral properly without having to look down from above

    Wow and more Wow.

    Post #686, I had to go back to twice because I thought you put the wrong images up. Thank you for including my favorite, very nice tabling.
    Beautiful sps and lps, love the milleopora and the smooth skin deepwater what ever it is, nice color.
