Lunch,

Very nice coloration for that clam. Love the contrasting aqua stripes to the overall purple. Glad that your second clam is doing much better and great service from RM to send out another one with no problems at all.

Aframomum - yeah i am VERY happy w/ the 2nd clam i recieved...very very nice!!! it isn't purple from viewing above...it is blue w/ electric blue striping...very very cool!!

yrureefing - you gonna post pics?? share the love man yeah Bill is awesome....hope to see his tank sometime this fall/winter

SawCJack00 - glad you checked the pics out buddy...i cannot thank you ENOUGH for the BEAUTIFUL frags!!!! they are amazing!! the pink milli lost some color but is starting to come back. the blue sam (whatever that is...the extra one ) isn't coloring up the greatest but it is on the bottom of the tank and i have a feeling it is just encrusting a ton...then BOOM. also the teal milli isn't quite what i hope it will turn out like but it is comming around more and more....heck it has ONLY been 2 months...i will wait till 6 months + before i expect a final color. other than adjusting they are all doing great. i cannot believe the growth of that green slimer!! very very fast...there are like 4 off shoots of it already!!

polyp extention is HUGE now that my yellow clown goby is gone...i LOVE they way they look now....hairly acros ROCK. i have some decent random flow on the teal and pink milli and they seem to get the most hairy...definately fun.

i will keep you guys posted...i am waiting for a few corals to heal up, think i had a problem w/ a new radium bleaching a few corals when i change the old out....so my fav. b-nest is healing up. i will post some full tank pics later down the line

anyone know why my clam would be sliming up from the base?? it ALWAYS has some slime floating aroudn the bottom. i blow it off and it does it again...wonder if it protecting itself or trying to do something.


thanks everyone
Lunchbucket
