ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

[ESABOE]

Not rainbow, just a standard Orange Yuma Ricordea. Some people sell them as "Rainbow" because it adds $$$ to the selling price. I think Orange, Yellow, and Green are your standard colors but there are others available. To me Rainbow means multiple colors where the orange is on mine.

Ok, it was hard to tell in your photo- yours is beautiful.

I did see real rainbow- in fact they were saying any coral that is true rainbow is $$$. Looking forward to posting some of the Uber colony size corals.

Btw, I got a Duncan and it reminded me of the one you submitted for photo of month! You will like it.

Looking forward to those pics!

My Duncan scared me yesterday. Looked into he tank and saw strings of black/brown goo hanging off of it! Upon closer inspection:

Baby Bower!

Question for any Chalice pros:

I have a neon green chalice with some black "swirls" for lack of a better term with a purple growth edge. Eyes are bright yellow surrounded by black rings.

I think I received it as a Vivids Riddler Chalice but the eyes are wrong... Looks more like pictures of a Raja Rampage but I've had one of those and the eyes were orange, not yellow... Definitely not a Hollywood Stunner, I've got one of those as well...

I don't think it's a Space Invader but maybe?

No bananas so Baby Trochus for scale?

Here's my space invader, so I don't think it's that. While it has a darker ring around the eye it's not blue.

Raja can have an orange or yellow, or orange and yellow. I think depending on light.

My son just came up to me with a dried up Nerite snail shell. "Dad, one of your snails fell out of the tank. It might be alive, should I throw it in?"

I took the snail, completely dry shell, stuck it against the glass, and it grabbed on and wandered off back into the tank. I did give it the sniff test first.

Bird dogging it again?

Probably still wet on the inside

I don't know chalices very well so can't help with what it IS but I'm 99.9% sure it IS NOT a Space Invader. BTW, if you want a good price on a Space Invader, hit AZ Reef Monster. They have a huge mother colony and almost always have impressive frags of it for sale at fair prices.

Space Invader is one I don't think I want. I already made the mistake of adding a Hollywood Stunner...

Pods and Phyto ordered. 16 oz Tigger, 16 oz mix, 32 oz phyto.

Reef Legends should be at the Coral Farmer's Market next weekend so I'll likely check them out.

I passed on them as well. I'd need a much larger tank...

CFM is June 1st, right? I've never been to one. I have other obligations on Saturdays (the reason I've never made it to an AZ Frag meeting) but I think I'm going to find a way to make it to this one.

Yeah. They moved it to Scottsdale I think.

Not Scottsdale, downtown Phoenix.

2 pack of Ultrablades ordered for the AF Ultrascrape. $12.99 (on sale for ($7.40). Still cheaper than buying a decent new magnet scraper and the Ultrascrape does quite well.

Also, they're irritated but:

Alves have landed.

No green Montis in the tank. I've had this thing for a bit.
