Wow, Oregon tort don't even look blue compare to that one! Sourse where you got it from?

Way too many lol I picked up a frag of the battle corals love sky recently and will start a progress picture of this one. My favorite blue will always be the heart of the ocean due to the deep coloration.

This is a comparison next to an Oregon tort.

The heart of the ocean came from Lazys Coral House. He listed some up for sale recently.

Lazy does a lot of coral postings and ships. Always healthy corals and some may even be from my tank You can often get chunky frags off him versus other vendors for the same price or cheaper.

Vivids Confetti. Purchased back in 2022 from a local hobbyist and went through no growth and near death for a good year. First picture is from march24 and second picture is from July.

Do you think it could have been acclimation to the metal halides? I run MH also, and it seems like most corals I get from LED users take 3-4 months to acclimate and start growing. But when they do there is an explosion.

Very well possible. I’ve heard this before on a pod cast discussing how it can take some time to adjust. My lights watt for watt are about 50/50 halides and LEDs. Mine tend to sit there for a while and then take off randomly.

My Melanurus wrasse has been missing for over a month and I just assumed he died or jumped behind the tank where I can’t reach. I walked by my rock sump last night and there he was swimming around. Retrieving him involved removing all the rock and giving the rock tub a little cleaning in the process. This rock was a mixture of Florida and Australian Liverock that has been untouched for going on 2 years now. Needless to say this is in fact “Liverock”.

This was a local hobbyist pickup over a year ago. Pretty sure it was sold as blueberry fields or something to that effect.

Forget the name Milli from battle corals. Looks 20xs better until blues.

TSA Fruity Pebbles. Picked up from Coral Beauties earlier this year. Unfortunately I did lose this one recently so I’ll be looking for a replacement at the upcoming Ohio Fraginstein swap.

POTO Yoshi’s Island. Purchased September 2023 from Reefnbid.

First picture from April’24

It's quite different while POTO, SBB and many sellers showed their corals with the real purschase ...

You're killing it man. I love your tank style/setup.

This is “hot” one as well. Battle Corals Hot Heaven Mille. Old picture but spent a lot of time encrusting lately.
