Are you referring to the colony on the left or right in that picture? Unfortunately either way I’m not sure.

Sorry the one on the left, the one on the right is a Blastomussa that I got with 3 tiny little heads.

Can't wait going to pick up this Galaxea I got on TSA sale this past Sunday.

I'll post pictures of it later tonight. I am not sure if I'm more excited to get the coral or that I'm feeling well enough for my first trip out of the house in almost 2 weeks lol!

That looks awesome!

Lazydayz · Aug 12, 2020

It's still mad from the dip but already starting to plump back up. Love it looks like a mini torch and there was so many baby heads on it too!

jk_s124 · Aug 12, 2020

You are right. It really does look like a baby torch! That’s a really cool addition!

Thank you! Yea I can't wait for it to open up a little more and be able to see it move in the flow

The Galaxea has plumped up and already has 1 crazy long sweeper out! I think I'm going to keep it on the rack for a while so it can stay away from other corals.

Gonna be the trouble maker haha!

I don’t know much about those corals, do the tentacles get long like a torch or do they stay a little shorter?

I believe they stay a little shorter but have the long sweepers.

Lazydayz · Aug 17, 2020

It's been almost a week and the Galaxea is happy, when they say it has long sweepers they aren't kidding! Here is a little video of the tank.

Lazydayz · Aug 18, 2020

The sweeper just keeps getting longer!! It is almost in the pump, I'm getting a little nervous now may have to find a better spot away from everything.

jk_s124 · Aug 18, 2020

I’m not sure if I’m frightened or impressed!

Haha I know I'm starting to think about how to rearrange the tank a little and maybe move it to a secluded corner

So I'm almost a month post surgery and this is starting to grow old! I can't wait to atleast be able to drive again. Tank is doing well though and corals are really taking off. Since I've been so bored I have been testing almost daily. I've found that I'm probably going to have to start dosing asap. Alkalinity is dropping by .2 to .3 dKH a day and calcium at about 5ppm a day. Fresh mixed water has an Alk of 11.2-11.8 and 480 calcium. Tank gets down to 9.2-9.8 and 445. I want to stabilize the Alkalinity swing a little, but I'm thinking of going with the Tropic marine All for Reef and only dose a few days in the middle of the week. Only took a couple of pictures of the SPS growth.
