    10 months after the move and the tank rebuild and things are finally starting to stabilize and color up. My zoas expecially have started to really grow well and have better color.

    As soon as it grows a little! It's much nicer in person. Getting green in the growth tips to go with the blue

    Nice, how are your other sps doing?
     
  7. Great update! I need to see this tank in person! :D What is the yellow/orange coral next to the combo SPS rock?

    If you don't already have a forest fire digi I'll trade you for the bubble gum. Mine isn't quite ready to frag.....two-three more months.

    I almost lost my large bonsai colony but it has bounced back and looks great except for about a small 2-3" area that died. It is growing back over the dead skeleton though. The only thing that's not doing well is my "bullet proof" purple stylo. I am at a loss to explain what has happened to it. No pests visible and it's still alive, just no polyp extension or color. My Green Slimer has grown to about 20 branches.

    That is a Mummy Eye chalice. It was a club coral ....I got a left over piece that was about 1"x 2" that broke into on the way home. Both pieces had two polyps and are both up to about 8 each.

    Sounds good on the forrest fire. Mine are still pretty small and won't be ready to frag for a few months but as soon as they are ready you got it!'

    My green slimer frag I got from you is doing well. It has encrusted the plug and is starting to grow a new stalk from the bottom.

    Is that a Fiji rainbow? Looks like it's growing good.

    Which one Bo? The orange with blue/green growth tips is the digi, the blue acro to the right is the Wet Thumb(dont remember which one) and the encrusting one is the Mind Trick.

    Wet thumb. Think there is just plan Fiji then Fiji rainbow

    I think it must be the plain Fiji. Right now there are so many coralites that it appears solid blue...if you look close it appears the skin may be green? What colors are the plan and rainbow?

    This the Fiji is blueish purple and the rainbow is green skin blueish purple coralites. They look very similar to me.

    May be the rainbow then. The growth tips and polyps are blue and the skin seems to be getting more and more green.

    You got it! It shouldn't be long before we can get you a small piece but if you want to wait I'll get you a bigger piece.

    New fish in QT . These two will finish TTM in 3 days. A few weeks in observation and treatment for flukes/worms and they should be fat and ready for the DT.

    Black Cap Basslet. I had a Royal Gramma in the tank before the move and was going to get another but opted for it's cousin from the Caribbean. The other is a McCosker's flasher wrasse
