Well thanks, but I hadn't even posted it yet!

I'm going to need you to stop right there, that tank appears to be too small for it's living space.

Simon, I don't need a picture, I can never find anything in your FTS because you have so much stuff, but what does this one look like from about 6-10 feet away? Do you catch the red and green both or is it just one or the other?

Lights going down, I'll get a pic tomorrow of the whole thing, that is about half, it looks that colour all the time.

No I mean when you're standing back from the tank a little bit, do both colors still show or does one dominate the other?

I will try and show it tomorrow, it is about 4 feet from my desk chair view!

My card reader stopped functioning on my computer, "the" pic is on the card, can't access it, I will pick up a usb reader over the weekend, sorry!

@Amoo , card reader worked again this evening, the last thing I did to it was swear at it yesterday, tried both cards, both cameras!
Last evening, all T5s still on, leds on a slow down ramp.

It will be on your journal, I only really have time to monitor my "watched threads", excited for you, I'll be distraught if you don't like them!

@najer your pics are 'as-is'?
No after touch with any program?

My computer is windows 7, I download to windows photo gallery and adjust the brightness and contrast.
I only shoot jpeg, raw looks like you have to make lots of adjustments, I'm too lazy!

I see no point in taking a picture under this or that lighting, I like to show what I see!

Taking pictures the same way as the reefing.;Snaphappy
Makes sense!

Yes, I could make my corals look a bit crazy I guess, as long as they are happy you get what I see!

Very nice tank mate
And that wrasse is a beauty.

Dsnakes · Sep 13, 2018

Looking great as always!

Any follow up on the Dwarf Golden at the fish store? I bet he would eat in your tank

Amoo · Sep 13, 2018

That is an extremely cool coral Simon. I really love the fact that it is a deep rich almost brick redish color but almost looks like a stylo in that you can still see green PE from a distance. Really cool color blend.

Also note, I'm still at the stage with SPS where I'm learning the subsects of them so to be any more specific then "that red one" is not something I can do. It very well may be a kind of stylo but ???

They tried it with live clams, it ate!

It is a hystrix or birds nest, it came via my lfs from a tank shut down, it is the most vivid colouration I have seen in one, the tips draw your eye to it.
