And this is the first acropora I ever bought, it started out brown and it's still brown...oh well, it's put up with all my blunders and problems, I have to keep it

That Superma digi is great. Why didn't I get order one?

Cause you thought you'd wait until mine is big enough to frag?

Brown or not that piece is exquisite, I really like the growth pattern. That's a keeper for sure!!!

For the first 2 years it was quite branchy, it's only since its been in the 175g thats it started growing sideways in a tableing manner
This is an old picture of it in my 75g

I bought a new weapon for my war on red bugs. Has anyone had any experience/luck with dragon pipefish eating redbugs?
He so far doesn't seem to mind the flow in my display, one very cool fish

I've kept them before and they are very cool. The flow doesn't bother them since they mostly just "snake" around. They will mostly just eat various pods in my experience but I never had the bugs for long and it was a few years ago.

Thats all mine seems to do at the moment as well. He does try to eat cyclopeeze floating in the water column which is kind of amusing to watch

I think my coral buying days are over for a while, once the frags I bought fill in (and it looks like that won't take long) my tank will be stuffed to the brim
