LT... I can't remember what I did 30 minutes ago, let alone what pictures I reacted to two days ago.

When the picture loads, I'll let you know what I think about removing the vertical tunnel things.

I misread your post, see edit.

And I missed my own 5 min mark lol, see edit.

Do you have any good lps online store sites? Now that I have a lot of great beginner corals, I want some nicer stuff.

The only three good sites I’ve found are cali kid corals, cornbread, and kush corals.

Jamrock corals, Robin showed me the other day, it’s amazing! Also. Don’t remove the tunnels!

I don’t know man, I could use the space. I literally have one spot left for the scoly and then my bed can only take small guys.

And thanks for the recs! I’ll check them out.

Phone died... changed out some saturated oil cloth... I'm back.

Personally, I'd leave them. Acan garden up one of them and favia on the other. Rock space starts going away quickly as things grow out. (Acans can touch, the renamed ones, micro lords now or something)

I like acans, but not that much. I have a small little rock on the right side for them and can keep that. I do love my pink ******* chalice and orange fake o lantern lepto on the center rock I'm thinking of removing that one, the far left one has a real ugly blue echinata that can go.

If I want a acanthos and a cynaria and potentially another scoly, there is really no other way.

Dude, cornbread is a rip off. **** is way overpriced.

Check out these guys;
Jamrock Corals
Aquarium Specialty
Joe Knows Reefs

Jamrock site is kinda empty right now. He posted his last update for the year a week ago and has a pretty good sale going so its pecked over... but check back. Everything is WYSIWYG, everything...

JKR site is almost always slim pickins, but he's got some fire when he does live sales.

Aquarium Specialty is 15 minutes from the house and I hardly check the site because I can just go in, but they usually keep it stocked pictures of coral.

Sounds like you need a bigger tank.

And not like acans... you just havent seen the right ones.

Exactly what I was thinking...get this man a swimming pool...a saltwater swimming pool!

as for acans... Mine is my favorite coral in the tank, and it’s about as plane Jane as acans get!

The micromussa lords! Or, as Sid from Toy Story famously said...THE BIG ONE!

Total direction change: will blue legged hermits eat gsp? Mine has always been an incredibly slow grower, I’ve had it in there for so long I feel like it should be covering the back wall by now, but I still just have a small patch. In the past, I’ve noticed the occasional hermit hunkered down inside it, or sitting on top of it at night, but never seen anything that looked overtly harmful. Until tonight...
