Thanks for reading! Thank you for the kind words. This is a coral that I got from @mdbannister. I had to name it because I liked it so much..Lol!

I just can't wait for this Cali Tort to start growing upward.......enough basing out already!!!

That's how I feel about my JF Flame acro. The darn thing has encrusted over the entire plug and a good chunk of rock...finally got 3 little stalks. LOL

I somehow have a frag of this in my tank here in Chicago. I got it from @coralreeftank, so I assume that's it. Although, we all know he only dabbles in the cheap and ugly corals. Ha!

Anyway, mines a fast grower. It went from frag to legit colony in just a few months. By the way, I thought Thanos was a dude on this forum?

Im the original grower of the thanos. It was originally sold to me as a RR avengers but its obviously not that lol. I then sent a piece to exotic frags and we dubbed it the thanos acro, for anyone not familiar with marvels avengers thanos is a nemesis of the avengers. I thought the name fit haha.

You are correct, but thanos and the avengers duke it out starting in the infinity war series, which is what they are building up to with the movies.

Haha this build thread went from a awesome build thread, to a coral lineage thread now to a comics thread lol

Thanks for the backstory. I'll shoot some pics of my colony over the weekend and post to my tank thread. Sorry for the hijack spspirate. Love your tank by the way.

We'll then Thanos it is! I thought Daniel wasn't too sure on the ID. I tried to find some info on it and didn't come up with much so thats how it got the name Green Goblin.

To the looks of the way this Cali Tort is expressing it's color I'm hoping I'll get some deep blue from it as it matures.

Very nice Thanos, a very nice piece in high light. Still have some colonies spread around my tanks.

Just went through your entire thread, loved it. So clean and well planned, definitely a tank to aspire to. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Mine is sitting about 6 inches under the water soaking up the rays from my Radiums.

Thank you for reading my thread!! Corals are starting to grow and show signs of settling in. There was a bit of planning to do for this build but for the most part having had so many reef tanks I really knew what I wanted and did not want for this build.
