I dunno if anyone's interested but I spotted a couple nice looking koi scopas at under the sea in rohnert park. The dark blue and brown coloration. Never seen one in person. They had a big achilles too. Too spendy for me but were neat.

What @Darkxerox said. We treat them the same in the labs.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Yeah for sure, knew slimer would be one of the first mentioned

Seems like a good one if I can find it

Looking to draw on the experience here to see which acros people have kept with a lot of success in terms of growing out into colonies. My setup is ~300 par where I'd like to place these up top with plenty of flow. I have big bare spots I'd like to set, leave them alone, and try to grow them...

Don't give up on new fish. Melanurus I added last Tuesday finally came out today. He's good size too, like 4" and the biggest fish in the tank. Still hid somewhere (in the sand?) till this morning he's cruising around hunting pods. Fed some mysis and he took it. Ok then. Don't give up part 2...

But to get back on track I think there's some social media aspect to reefkeeping these days that wasn't always present. Especially among people like us who frequent forums etc. Do people really need every new gadget and the best of the best? No, but what else are you going to post on the...

Aye. I tried to get solar last year but my roof was too old. Thankfully I was in a position to get the roof done, but now I'm trying to scrape a solar project together.

For people who want solar but haven't been paying attention, be aware they passed the new net metering. If you want the old metering rates (you do) the project needs to start by April 1 I believe. I think that just means to apply for permits. But yeah, gotta get moving.

These guys make a few. Reviews on 3rd party site seem good and indicate it cools comparable to a std fridge so you aren't at the mercy of room temp. https://cooluli.com/

Umm... Isn't matter standard like brand new? Pretty sure one of the first 5 devices that works on it isn't going to be a reef controller.

The kraken doesn't let you control the ports? I thought that was the point.

I'm gonna come check it out this time. I can do 2-3 at the booth.

Opening up a bit today. Thanks @under_water_ninja for hooking me up w this centerpiece for my tank.

These don't look to be in too bad of shape. Good luck, I think they can pull through with some tlc.

I think some people have success fragging scolys by cutting off the bottom. May work for acantho too. @under_water_ninja told me about this, I hadn't heard of it. Then a new full round polyp forms on the bottom. Like an ice cream sandwich where the polyp is the cookie and skeleton is the ice...

My accountant (aka wife) approved the purchase. So I won't be sharing bed with coral. Not fraggable is the worst part I agree, but that means there's no way to get one but bite the bullet and buy one. The is no DBTC for acanthos.

I made a very poor financial decision today.

I think wrasses do a number on them as well. Super cool though if your tank is compatible. Cos showed my if you put your hand over it to shadow from the the light all the worms scoot inside. They think a predator is cruising over.
