Since I'm on an "almost in focus but not quite" kinda roll, here's new arrivals. You can see they have a long way to go to be really happy. Take a gander at JAR's donated Sand Dollar Monti. Even now, with it's polyps just beginning to extend, it's a stunner. Last two images are true heritage pieces, handed down from Richard, Yard Artist to Jim, GITMO and now to me. Thanks all! I love those blasto-merlettis

Looks like the mushroom could be splitting. I noticed mine has a tiny baby.

Pm sent, Holy Cow, Brian Thanks. JAR: polyps are beginning to extend on both montis. They are high in the tank and really are responding nicely to the Reefbrites. Soon I'll be posting the "after" (acclimation) shots.

The Yuma and the S.M. Rhodactis mushrooms are courtesy of BMHair03 Brian. Holy Cow, Mon.......these guys are already going to town and pumping up their color. Thanks! The cool palys are from JAR Jon. They are starting to wake up along with others. More pics when things settle down.

It's funny how plain and kinda brown that S.M. Rhodactis looked when Bri dropped it off. Well, that was only until he held it under the blue LED's. Heheheh........a living creature, yet.......living in MY tank..........how could I be so lucky? 0:)

Brown because I drove there twice! :) I hate cell phones!
Looks like it might pinch off a twin soon.
Updated the DBTC on the Legacy Sinularia . Found it a spot it could grow into.

Holy Cow, do I have news. Little known DBTC Calfo Pulsating Sinularia DOES pulsate. I was watching it under a magnifier and it was shocking! Never in the last 2 years has it pulsated that I've noticed. Now, a clown gobie inhabits it regularly and it pulsates! Wowzers! Here is the clincher: I hauled Nikki in to the kitchen explaining all the way what a landmark event was taking place in my tank. I put the magna-visor on her and waited for her exclamation...........the Sinularia had STOPPED pulsing just as fast as it started. Hmmmm.......Here's a lucky shot video I took with the same 'ol Panasonic, shot underwater. Let me know if this is rarely captured footage or not. ( Double click on the image to connect with the video)

Looks awesome! Can't wait for mine to get that big. Right it's maybe only inch or so at the base and two inches at the top.

Wouldn't it be a kick if it was pulsating all along and I just never looked close enough. My guess it that the entire colony needed to get this mature for it to act as an adult colony. BTW, the clown gobie just LOVES it! It's the little bugger's favorite hangout.
