Defense posture!

Always waving off encroaching fish. Whenever I see it out in the open like this, I hook it up with a square inch of nori. Usually once or twice a week. Thing is big.

Wanting to put some fancy sticks in the open spot but being pest free and somewhat coasting has been nice.

Cut off anything that doesn’t have healthy tissue on it (i.e., frag plug, rocks, skeleton), dip and QT.

I do the live flesh off the plug as you mention but have never QT'd or dipped. I buy a new bottle of Revive every 5 years but it just sits on the shelf expiring away. I should break that habit .

I might hit you up for your dip protocol before grabbing some new sticks.

Got this from battle corals a few years ago but have long since forgotten what the heck it is or what its was supposed to look like. The thing tried dying several times but would dull out and go dormant instead. Last couple of days the colors has been perking up and some peach color at the tips. Hopefully it is finally happy and considers growing.

I have some coral that looks similar to that from Battle Corals called Aquatic Man.

It’s still looks like it’s growing into itself, might have to wait a bit longer to see exactly what it is.

FYI. Here’s a growth post of my old BC Aquatic Man Table

I did some digging and found pictures of the handwritten names that came on the bags from the shipment 11/25/20. Only this one survived the tank move a couple years back.

Here is what came in from Battle Corals:
Miss Scarlett
Rainbow Loom
Vectorman
Bonfire
Strawberry Fields

I would guess bonfire, but I’d wait and see what colors and growth pattern develops.
