Thanks man.. It's out of Dr.Mac's private stash, the neon turquoise blue in that favia is just sick
the crazy cat plate is also out of Dr. Mac's private stash, need to get better pictures of it.

Very nice, I had a chance at some grandis palys last year but they wanted £40 a polyp!

That's about what they typically go for here. I snagged that frag out of the bargain bin, I have to look back but think I paid like $15 for 3 polyps
. not sure why I even bought it, properly needs to come out of tank if it really starts to take off.

Rearranging, see anything missing?
Move the red goni, It's now back on the side of tank where it started.

Acro turns one year old, like most of my acro's it has some damage from the ATO dump and hair algae adventures but is healing. In the bottom pic you can see the spot midway where it was RTN'ing but seems to be incrusting back over.

I have always noticed that many people's ICP test indicate low iodine so I have been conservatively dosing iodide every other day (1/4 recommend dose) for about a year now. Finally ordered a test so I can get a rough idea what my levels actually are.. lol. I hate testing ;Facepalm

The times are important with those kits.

Good to know.. I'm terrible about timing test, don't know how many packs of url phosphate regents I have wasted as Im easily distracted.. lol. Takes 3 minutes for test to complete with the Hanna PO4 tester and the unit shuts off just a few seconds after that :mad: One of the most used apps on my new watch is the timer, love it! Unlike my counter top timers, no matter how far I walk away I still hear it ;Hilarious

I have never done the test but have had it done in the shop by a couple of people, they time it as tight as they can.

So the crazy cat plate turns out to be a interesting piece, best I can determine it's a Lithophyllon undulatum, a pretty rare type of fungia..
