Orange Bubble Rhodactis is looking pretty good


New Acan Pickup


These polyps are just really nice. Not sure if they are named


Iron Man Acans


Cherry Corals Solar Flare Acans


Best looking piece of grafted cap I've seen in a while. Very low light seems to bring out the brighter colors


My favorite jawbreaker

I've been waiting a long time for these clowns to lay a clutch and it finally happened on Friday. So the pair is a Femaile DaVinci and Male Blacker Ice. This is there first clutch so it's fairly small (100ish eggs total). I'm going to use the first clutch as practice for collecting the hopefully bigger clutches later on. Anyway, I'm hoping this pair is going to throw out some cool patterns and hopefully I'm capable enough to get atleast a few of the babies to survive.

you got some bomb a** extension on your acros polyps brotha. hey mind telling me what you did to save your "hawt mili" you was saying that was 99.9% dead 3 weeks ago. when i have a acro start to go down its usually to rtn and i have to just chop it up to save it and even then its no guarantee yours looks like its having quite an amazing turn around from just 3 weeks ago

Thanks man. Next time you are in the area feel free to stop by.

As for the Mille I'm not sure. After I moved my Alk and cal fluctuated for a few weeks which is why I think it bleached. It was pure white and I really thought it was 100% dead. About a week after I got everything stable I noticed an edge coloring back up. Then a week later the whole 4 inch colony was perfect. Amazing transformation
