Thank you, I had a good feeling it was an SPS I almost posted it there instead of here in LPS. I was thinking it was an encrusting Monti of some sort personally once I moved it up to a higher light level it has really taken off an expanded polyps even seems to be acrually growing. I did a quick google search an found Merulina ampliata an after looking at some images I'd have to agree more maze like than a "mouthed" favia I have a couple favites and this sure didn't look like something in the Favia clade.
I moved it up about two weeks ago an it is already growing I have am awsome LFS but some of the people that work there "know" a lot more than they actually do, some of the younger kids are knowledgeable but sometimes I think to myself I've been keeping tanks for 40 years and doing reefs longer than they've been alive lol I bought this frag yesterday as a "Turbinaria" but I can't find anything on a red turbinaria lol
Thanks have to do some maintennce later today but she's doing good for only 6.5 months my 2.5 year old has a little pico we just rebooted too I'm pretty sure she cranked uo the heat and cooked it.
Right on Ella has a 6 gallon marinland Eclipse witg 5.3 gallons in the system. She cooked her last tank oops going to do a build thread for it getting her a 12" LED that has 10,000k Chinese import Orbit Marine knock off.
No problem I'll link the build thread here hope I get some extra time this week. Her mom is the first woman that has had an intrest in my hobby, Ella can point out the hammer and the octo-frogspawn Zoas and mushroom she had an awesome little reef going an it crashed we tested did everything but check the thermometer smh such a N00B error.
Awsome! Congratulations my oldest son will be 25 in june, just got off the phone with him Ella was an IUD fail but I love this kid to death so smart! Artist paints, draws, she's big into music too she has a 3 piece drum set in the living room and she has a Les Paul pee wee guitar that she plays through my 100 watt Peavey amp we do a lot of cool stuff I'm a audio engineer on the side, so she's taken to that too, plus we are really big into hiking and Mycology I'm certified as an ID expert with musht
almost every lfs has a young know it all.i was one back in the 80's.the trick with these guys is.be polite, smile, say thanks and then go on reef2reef.not to many things you can't find answers to here.I moved it up about two weeks ago an it is already growing I have am awsome LFS but some of the people that work there "know" a lot more than they actually do, some of the younger kids are knowledgeable but sometimes I think to myself I've been keeping tanks for 40 years and doing reefs longer than they've been alive lol I bought this frag yesterday as a "Turbinaria" but I can't find anything on a red turbinaria lol
Oh I love them to death lol they have an awesome staff Tom has ownwd the place 25 years now an I've shopped there on an off 20 years now I'm a regular so the hook me up pretty good. They still do punch cards every $100 you get $10 once the card is punched half the time they're like keep it Mike I took 15% off for you, or they'll punch the last 10-15 bucks and be like you want to use this now? Some are just more knowledgeable with freshwater some have only ever done salt but one of Tom's requirements is yoy have to be an aquarisist to get a job there so that's a plus. I was about 22 when I had my first aquarium store job.
Awesome! My parents held me an my brother back always wanted drums and guitars but the answer was "you'll just make noise with it!" my younger brother got her the drum kit for Christmas he got a deal on ot bought it last July sat inbmoms basement until Christmas! I have some pretty famous Detroit rockstar friends. We just got compped tix for CRUD and Davey Suicide before Christmas that's one of Vinnie Dombrowski's bands the frontman for Sponge, I didn't know it was an all ages show until she was at my moms for the weekend I was so bummed she couldn't go [emoji23]Thank you! Our oldest is going to be 16 in October. She's a really good singer, big time in chorus. It amazes me how the little ones are so smart. I've been a drum player my whole life, hoping to teach the kids one day. @Lovemyreef2015 maybe a new drumset is in the future
