Its a 4 foot 60 gallon, 44 gallon sump, 11 gallon frag tank.

Did a frag swap, some SPS for some of GTACorals zoas and a chalice.

The single is Shadowbees and the 4 header is JF Bella Blues I think.

[David Caplan]

I try to trade/buy from other hobbyists, I got all my frags that way. For colonies and stuff like aussie SPS FragBox, Reef Raft, Frag Cave for the most part.

Ever since I took the fish out of my frag tank I have been noticing that it has been harboring much more life, someone pointed the overflow out to me when I had the lights up. The density is absurd, they are covering everything from the acrylic to the frag rack, to the plugs. I took a couple shots of the overflow of the frag tank this morning. For reference, this is taken with a 180mm lens, so the area you are looking at is about 1"x1"-2"x2".

Crescent tail fairy wrasse Lunatus, female, gets along great with the pintails


I promise to learn to focus while taking video, this would have been cooler if I could have focused on the tentacles after the video ends.

Thanks!

I was told these were collected in St Thomas. Any way I can tell if these are discosoma sanctithomae or something else? Got a nice colony, this is one of the bigger ones.

this reminds me of grapes ... and then it gets me thinking about red wine for some reason ...

yet again great coral porn you show us

Looks like they are Yumas. Took some time shooting today in both tanks. Stuff is growing so fast, made a whole bunch of frags.

Thanks! It's one of my first corals, it was bought from you as a 1-3 eyes I think a year and a half ago.

If anyone is interested in a frag of the JF Crazy Fox, I will be fragging it soon. I also have encrusted frags of Pink Matrix and other Reef Raft pieces.

Two new gems:
Yakuza

Pacman
