| a friend and i went in on some frags since i am not financialy endowed it makes things affordable.its way cooler to get two small frags instead of the one .especialy when you dont get out much.trade is always a factor as well.here is a double shot of this little gem.as you can see it is starting to develope some nice colors.totaly differnt then the original BLAH![img] [/img] | |

| i am pretty generous with my iodine.[img] [/img]after the cut i just douse this guy.usualy you would let the tissue come appart entirely on its own but i am encouraging it with a couple of well placed cuts.[img] [/img] | |

| I'm thrilled to see those Favia thriving! Back from the brink.
Did you look at those pulsing Xenia I left at your house? Those are the most indestructable Xenia I've encountered. They pulsed through a nitrate spike, low pH, temp swings, etc. And they spread.
BTW, I want a Blue-Eyed Tang too. My "awesome fish" radar zoomed right on to that fish the moment I walked in. The Platy was distracting too. | |

| i actualy let the frags of xenia go to keli and a friend but so far it looks good in there tanks.and you said that the favia was one to disperse to worthy peoples so you have done the reefing community a small service in a way.it is now in 4 tanks that i know of and after the POTM prize winner it will be in one more looks differnt in every tank too | |

| Sharing is the name of the game. My favorite coral came from one of your tanks. Thanks, by the way.
My Favia (only Favia) completely died about 2 weeks ago. My Goniastrea decided to start developing sweeper tentacles at night. Very long! This guy is only about 2 to 3 inch ball and the tentacles are easily 8 inches or more. Anyway, you know where this is going. The Favia didn't stand a chance. I noticed some bruising on the first night, moved him (the Favia) a little farther from the Goniastrea, then completely white and gone on 2nd night.
I lost my Green Acro the same way. Now that Goni has his own corner. Just what he wanted.
Moral of the story: keep a close eye on your corals. Even the slightest change or discoloration might mean danger.

| Don't worry about that guy. He's tough as nails and prefers to be alone. All alone. Mine has a rather shadowy corner all to himself...and he's growing. | |
