It looks so lonely.

It’ll manufacture a nice big family in short order.

I updated my coral spreadsheet today and I have some interesting statistics.

I have approximately 70 pieces of coral in the tank.

45% are LPS
40% are SPS
15% are softies

67% came from BAR
14% came from LFSs
The rest came from online vendors with Battle Corals leading the pack at 10%

I've spent way too much money...

That’s why you aren’t supposed to have a price column on something like that!

Do you track polyp/head count for anything?It would be a pain for zoas, but not so bad for euphylia or some LPS. I eventually would want to do something like that. I think graphing the growth rate could yield some interesting finds but it would require a lot of time to get enough data

I see that on some entries I marked the polyp/head count initially, but I was not consistent.

Added 5 Berghia Nudibranchs last night and the only visible Aiptasia is gone this morning.

I convinced Adam at Battle Corals to sell me some larger frags/colonies of his less-desirable stuff and it came in today.

This one was labeled "E-City Table". It is a huge, fuzzy colony. Green but very pretty.
The Garf Bonsai from @Rostato seems pleased to have a new neighbor.

Next is a chunky piece of Pink Tip Sarmentosa - about 3" tall

This was labeled "Ultimo Pinky" and came in partially bleached, so hoping it will recover.

And, as he always does, he threw in a free frag. This is Rainbow's Army

 

[max_nano]

Wow, how did it survive shipping? did it frag it self a little in the shipping bag. It looks like it stayed in one big chunk

that’s cool!

It did pretty well - was packed well. Only broke three small tips which are now on frag plugs.

 

[Coral reefer]

Sure it’s not just light colored growth tips?

 

[svreef]

Yes, they are. A few little pieces were in the bag. Just like those French fries...

Oh, you were talking about the pinky. No, it’s definitely not growth tips.

Yesterday I brought home 4 frags and said to myself: “no more frags”. Today, I bought an Acan...

My first random RTN (I think). It’s the green slimer and it started this afternoon.

 

[Srt4eric]

Is the rtn the white showing around the base

 

[svreef]

Yeah, bad picture but also white areas along the branch. The skin is dead/dying.

My green Slimer has been STNing since October 4th. Still don’t know why. While searching on R2R I found some talking about using amoxicillin a antibiotic to treat RTN/STN. There was a scientific study on using antibiotics and it seemed promising. I just bought some on chewy and will report back after I’ve done the dips.

Thanks!

 

[NickRoseSN1985]

Well I’ve done my second dip today. I’ll have to take pictures for the next 7 days to see if the tissue has actually stopped receding. Comparing yesterday and today it seems like it might have stopped.

 

[svreef]

Without any intervention, the white areas on the green slimer seem to be growing new tissue. Yay!

@Srt4eric came over today and plumbed a 22g Fiji Cube into my DT. Have to wait for the glue to fully cure before getting it wet tomorrow.
