Cool, thanks for the reply. Mine takes mysis, but not too eagerly. I gave it some "Liquid Life Marine Plankton" last night and it gobbled it. Should I offer it that more often?

How big are these polyps you guys are taking pictures of? I can't get pictures that close up. Are you just using cameras that are good at taking close ups? Can you put a dime or nickel next to them for size reference? Thanks.

or a penny, that give me a color reference too.

Just kidding.

Please nobody put a penny anywhere near your tank, or at least if you are going to, send all your corals to me before you place the penny in, and when you get a completely new tank, I send them back to you.

So if you did not get that I was joking, well I was.
Please, I repeat Please do not put a penny or anything copper in your tank at anytime.

it's funny that you said that narkon... i'm a senior at university and the first thing i told my roommates is that they can put NOTHING into the tank. if i see hands, fingers, or any other things that don't belong and are traceable, i get to kick them as hard as i want to where ever i want(which is a pretty good threat cuz i played soccer competitively and place kicked, in which i could hit from 52yds out, no problem).

what's funny is that they know that my tanks are worth more to me than almost anything. they actually have visitors over and the first thing they say is, "these are danny's...do not touch or put anything in them or he'll flip out on you."

Beautiful...

Wait tell you start feeding it, the colors start to pop out and change. Mount that sucker too, it grows pretty fast. Here is a smaller piece fat and happy.

How are you guys (gals)feeding so much without really foulin' up your water?I have mine in a 240 with a euroreef 6-2 and I can't skim fast enough to feed that heavy.

I don't worry about it. Mine is in my 20 gallon QT right now and I have an Eheim 2026 and an Aqua C Remora Pro on it.
