Some PIF corals in Santa Cruz and San Ramon. Photos mostly show the mother colonies (though they are not really colonies by our club standards haha...) From UCSC Newman 20gal (pickup in Santa Cruz): Neon green nephthea Teal/brown mushroom From San Ramon Fluval (pickup in San Ramon): Purple...

Purple stylo, red monti cap, monti setosa, green pocillopora. Also GSP For supporting members. Pickup in San Ramon (Edit: should mention that they are frags)

Seeing the thread on Kvosstra's Raspberry Prostrata made me think about all the cool frags that have come through DBTC. What would you all personally nominate as a BAR classic? Even if it's something commonly available - I'd be interested what chains have special stories in BAR history. Even...

Pickup in Santa Cruz. They look quite brown in this lighting but turn a metallic teal/gray under more typical reef lighting. Also have chaeto if anyone needs some.

Any interest in a chunk of orange monti cap?Otherwise it's going to the lfs Pickup in Santa Cruz, or meet up near Neptune.

I grabbed this overflow box at the last frag swap and am putting together an all-in-one style internal sump to help with surface skimming and provide a place to throw carbon and other media. Thought this might be nicer than finding an HOB aquaclear. The destination tank is my standard rimmed 20g...

Just a chromis enjoying its coral home

My friend asked if I could help him set up a saltwater tank for the house where he serves as the chaplain. (I'm limited to 1 tank in my studio... how else can I manifest my multiple tank syndrome???) He had plenty of experience keeping planted tanks, so a softy tank would be no problem for...

This frogspawn bailed out more than a year ago and has lived without a skeleton since then. Any hope of regrowing a skeleton or attaching to something? Will it be a free floating ball of tentacles forever? I tried super glue-ing to a frag plug - slimed and detached within 30 mins

Sadly I don't have space in the tank to pre-make frags, but I'm happy to trim off these corals: Red monti cap (three 2" frags available) Brown spiny gorgonian (2" frags available. chromises not included) GSP (take the whole rock... about 3") Pickup in Santa Cruz

Majano? Other?

Anyone ever heard of a pincushion urchin munching on monti cap? Thoughts on whether it could be monti nudibranchs? It looks like the skeleton got chewed on and not just soft tissue - the edge was previously convex so a decent piece (4x2mm) of coral got bitten off. The urchin refuses to eat...

Figured I better (finally) post a tank journal for my nano tank which has been running since February 2020. Brief tank history below, and I'll try to post more current state details soon. The setup (today): Fluval 13.5 AIO tank Turf scrubber and rubble bed in 1st compartment Tunze Nano ATO...
