Yes, it sits on the sandbed shaded by a candy cane colony but does not seem to mind. I never found a good place to put it. I got it orginially from @L/B Block.

For reference, this is the link where we discussed the name of this coral: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/coral-id-which-coral-is-this-update-montipora-spongodes-for-now%E2%80%A6.39340/

One larger piece and one smaller piece. This is the mother colony for reference: (Gets around 450 PAR)

I am giving this larger acro colony away to a supporting member. It is only brown/green but this is most likely due to higher nutrients, so should look nicer under the right circumstances. Unfortunately, the person who owned the colony previously mounted it on an egg crate, which makes it...

No question about competence, Erin, but messaging, which does not create actionable value for me. Experts in their field are great, and the best ones can deliver content in a professional, concise, and neutral way. I think many of us should reflect on how we communicate here (this includes...

Thank you,yes, purchased a refurbished xp8 last night. Really good deal.

Literally all fresh food is added frozen to the blender, so I did not observe or see the solution becoming warm. Maybe this needs to be added to the recipe for clarity. I am sure any 'food safety officer’ would enjoy seeing us adding frozen seafood into our tanks, of which a lot of it will rot...

Looks like you have been observing them for a while, so please let us know your experience with them when you start using them. Still curious about pricing since, again, I believe the benchmark are the two companies I mentioned. I very much like that Triton is based in the US, but I feel...

I do not decide on who tests my water by who provides a label or not. It is far too important (and expensive) to me. But postage is a major cost factor. So is shipping time. This company is located in Bavaria, Germany, and seems to have a successful coral farm, which seems to add to their...

13-15 USD.

Do you know why not using saltwater but freshwater? I can do it either way but just curious what the issue is with using saltwater? Also, the point on the fish eggs staying whole I have seen debated elsewhere, and some prefer it.

I would keep them for filtration until you have your other corals growing bigger.

I found some last week in one spot on a rock around a frag plug I got many months ago from someone. I took out the frag plug which removed 90% of the polyps, and glued over the other few polyps (not many) on the rock over with a lot of glue. Will see if they come back but I was very shocked...

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I have been feeding a DIY coral feeding (smoothie) mix for the past couple of months, twice a week. The blender I have been using for this was a bit slow and I could not resist the black friday deal for a significantly reduced Vitamix 5200. The recipe is...

Its the largest one he sells: https://octoaquatics.com/product/the-shu/ Its pretty big though and difficult to maneuver without hitting things, specifically if you have a Eurobrace.
