Here is an updated pic of my tank and new frogspawn and favia. Just wondering if they are in good spots. The frogspawn has opened up huge, I just wonder about the underside of the coral since its not straight up. Thanks guys
These are my first corals. I also noticed 1 tiny piece of apitasia under the favia. I have never had to deal with it before.

I did the same placement in my cube with my two face frogspawn and it grew amazing. Unfortunately I did not get any pics before i tore it down. But I have fragged both colonies and still have a ton of heads each. There is a link to my nanocube in my sig.

Very cool. I just wasn't sure if it was ok that the tentacles were touching the sand bed.  Any other recommendations? I like corals that flow in the current.

What are the chances Jerry lists of all those corals, he's got them all fragged up and ready to sell ;)

Haha. I have some, not all. I'm sure I could fill a biocube or 2 ;) problem with wavy stuff is you need room in the tank....which I'm lacking right now.

Now if your sandbed has room for a monster elegance I have a showpiece for you ;) it's super flowy and healthy!

Judging by the pics, it doesn't appear to be too deep. A SSB should be no higher than 2" and yours appears to be less than that. Give it a little while to get weighed down with bacteria, then be sure to stir it up every couple of weeks to prevent any build-up on it.

I have a Fluorecent Green Whisker coral that I am thinking of selling. It started as 3 heads and is now a good 10 plus heads. Flows extremely well and is definitely a stand out for colour.

Well I got home today and the apitasia was gone?

I would bet its still there none of the livestock you have in the tank would touch aiptasia, so I wouldn't consider it gone just yet. Probably retracted itself, is a snails goes near it, it will retract into its little hole or crevice, or even a fish swimming by it would make it retract. You could be right it could be gone, but it wasnt any of the livestock that ate it that's for sure.

Well it was inside of of an empty clam shell, not much to retract into

So I have never had a coral host any clowns before. I got my onyx picasso clowns from kraken on Friday. They are not a pair and are still bickering. I picked up the frogspawn on sunday. But it looks like the smaller clown wants to go in the frogspawn. The clown is just hovering around the frogspawn and will go in and just lightly touch abit of his side on the frogspawn.

That's awesome !! I'm currently waiting for my pair of Picassos to find the RBTA or GBTA . You have any pictures of your clowns ? To bad that they list there "pairs" as pairs when they're really not, kinda of a false sale practice.
