Nah it’s the tgc gravedigger from pirates reef. I know poto sells the same coral to. Under white lights the greens more of a orange yellow which is unique in a tenuis.

Some new acquisitions

Nice cuts Eric! Good luck with trades. Anyone who gets the flaming unicorn, it’s stunning when it hits its stride, don’t second guess it.

Swung by yesterday, anyone who has the itch to go to a fish store or fragswap for corals, just go to riches. Frags the size of the past, and an ever growing collection.

Added a 4k gyre into the mix to pair with my 2k and two mp40s. I will end up replacing the 2k with another 4 because it’s tough dialing in a balanced pattern because of the size and power differences. Trying to keep my gonis happy while also beat the life outta the sps is going to be fun. I was...

I have a full grown melenarus wrasse and it’s a love hate relationship. He doesn’t mess with my tiny harlequin shrimp. He may have eaten some peppermint but there are others that have survived. He does however bully any other wrasse that gets put in there, doesn’t matter what types.

Some nerite eggs but will just be coral food or skimmer sludge. If you plan to put wrasse in do them all together as babies or you have to precisely add them in in orders where’s one doesn’t just kill the rest. I find yellow Coris wrassse are good hunters and don’t develope an ego. Fancy...

The forest fire shrooms were bright as heck if my memory serves me right. Good addition to someone with a newer tank that withstand anything!

I don’t have a fancy camera just my phone taking pictures with no time to edit with two babies. But I’ll try to keep the photos coming to keep it interesting.

I like turnings zeros into hero’s on a poor man’s budget lol.

Yeah man your trending in the right direction, it takes time to remove phosphates. Your rocks and sand are constantly leeching it to keep your tank from swinging. Just keep up with the phosphate removal, and the good clean water changes will give the corals balanced seawater to start growing...

The first picture was leftover encrustments on a rock from the splice I got from sbb. As you can see it was all green from when I moved my tank. The next one was after is from last night, one of the tips has a spec of red. It could grow more, or that could be all it shows. It’s roulette.

Yeah I mean in its dna there’s red pigment somewhere, just random when it comes out. If it grows fast and puts out 15 branches, then you have 15x odds that red will show in one. If it barely grows and it’s a dud. It will take awhile haha. I have an all green encrustment that has a few tips...

Just a matter of time. Odds are if it came from a splice colony it will eventually, just a roll of the dice
