I'm pretty sure that's why Brad put "& Stuff" in my thread title..

So shortly after I got my tank back on track this past fall you may recall that I put a few tester SPS colonies in to test the waters (hehe I'm so punny). Well, those pieces have coloured up nicely and have started to grow.

Browned out STN'ing digi..

So anyway, once I was satisfied with their progress I decided to go all-in and start stocking up on frags 'n such. I pretty much hit up anyone in town that had anything available. Thanks to all my local reefer buddies my tank now looks like a 150g frag tank :lol: I'm not complaining though. Part of the fun is watching things grow (or not grow and trying to figure out why? :neutral:).

This particular frag pack is from my one of my all time favourite vendors, Oceanic Corals.

P.S. excuse the diatoms on the sand bed. Apparently that's what happens when you change out your sand bed :lol:

All of the frags pictured here just came out of the bag so they're all a bit cranky. It's a Bird of Paradise and looks like this when its happy :-)

Nice! I had one of those that was supposed to be a bird of paradise, instead it was just a pigeon. I ended up selling it at a frag swap. It was pretty disappointing as all my other birdnests have done fine and colored up nicely.

is it wrong that i'm staring at your cloves and hoping mine colour up like that too?

wait.. the cloves I gave you browned out?! That's okay, just throw them in the trash and come get more LOL.

No they're a nice pale purple but not bright like yours. they're a bit shaded under beast torch.
