It was never my intention to sell coral, and frankly that's still my position. I am an old Army Sapper/Police Officer & Sheriff's Deputy (ret). I am 52...single...happy...and just want to enjoy my dogs and Salt Tank; the the occasional visit of some hot chicks, which are younger than me...lol. However, I had the idea of covering the entire back glass of my 210 gallon tank with green star polyps. I was hoping to gain some depth in in the tank...so the viewer couldn't really tell if the tank actually stopped on the other side. I know...sounds stupid...now...but back then I was wondering if it could be done, and it sounded better than paining the back of the tank, or covering the back with some ******* ocean scene. So...here...I am...almost at a point where some trimming might be needed.
In addition, when I started I also placed this little piece of star polyp onto a hand-made plate; which was part of the tree branch looking thing. I'm sure the idea was to set five or six plates, each able to hold about 6 new corals, along the bottom of a tank. Frankly, its something that is probable better suited for a shop, but it's in my tank now, so...whatever. Anyway, that little polyp as grown, and is now about 4" in diameter, and has actually wrapped around the disc, and started to grow the the center; it's like watching the movie Alien. Furthermore, some of it dropped off onto the center of the tank, and onto a 8"X10" (I think that the size...might be a bit smaller) and continued along the edge. Ok...when you look at the tank stop being so f#$%^ing judge...y (was attempting t place a soft pool or bed of sand for those that needed it).
