    LOL.

    Millepora in my past tanks have done better than this tank.

    I have a Plum Crazy ORA, I have seen slight PE twice, nothing nada since then. It's a live because it has color blue and pink but completely absent of polyps, no growth. The Tyree Pink Lemonade two inches up grows like a weed. If I loose something I might get a Ca tort or the Oregon.

    It takes a lot for me to moving something. I pick one day a week, usually Tuesdays (the day I arrange for corals to come on Tues) to move stuff and clean, do a small water change. The rest of the time I do not stick my hands in the tank, this is important for Acropora and Nanos. My lighting is a foot away from my closest coral, but only running at 40% so I have a lot of room adjust/change that. It's taken me a long time to just a leave a coral be as long as it's not actively dying. I could probably move my non growing Green Millepora but that starts the cascade effect, which coral get moved where!!!!!!

    Yeah I know all about that problem, you move one coral then all of the sudden nothing is where it was lol. Forgot I also have a rose Mille frag...another rescue. I can't wait to start buying real pieces lol.

    I am finally at the point where I don't move much around, simply cuz I'm running out of room.

    Oddly enough my Cali tort has been slow and my Oregon has just blown me away even if it's a 1/2" frag.

    Really hard to get a representative image secondary to the color of the coral, white with blue tips.

    It's been 1.5 hours since the piece arrived. Awesome PE.

    I'm watching that orange tip green spath, waiting for a purple/blue colony to pop up so I can buy both, naturally I'm checking it daily ;)

    They have nice aculeus and vermiculata right now

    I have also been looking at this piece of along time.

    A.Spath are pretty sensitive, it's definitely a mature stable sps system coral. I love the look but they need exactly the right flow and very intense lighting.

    The Tenuis green and blue is heavenly, but I already have two Tenuis now. Great piece, great price.

    I wish they had a Red Dragon, that is the one of two pieces I feel I am missing, the other is Oregon or Ca Tort.

    The more I look at that site the more I like it. The SSC is nice as is the a. Parillis frag. I need more money...
