Sad news @OrchidMiss .... Pineapple passed today. She was an old girl though at almost 7!

A couple of SPS pics:

Pink Cadillac with some decent growth. Lots of green shimmer so possibly either high iron or low potassium.

Acroberry started out SUPER slow grower but is probably growing faster than everything else in the tank right now! Lots of new nubs and branches

SBB Black Panther Mille has the best PE in my tank, fully encrusted the base and is encrusting the rock now. Some nice new growth at the base - new nubs in 3 or 4 locations.

Red Dana super slow growth but has finally encrusted the base. Was starting to encrust the frag rack it was on before the urchin broke the rack... A couple of "blobs" starting that will likely become nubs soon! It's also starting to get some red coloring back.

SBB Red Volcano Mille fully encrusted base, branches are growing, and has good PE most of the time. Got some nubs growing at the base in a couple of locations and has it's red coloring back. One branch is a super deep purple. Very nice Mille.

SBB Orange Blast Mille was my hairiest Mille. Super orange with lots of brownish green polyps flowing. Not a ton of PE, but the orange is coming back. It's starting to encrust the base again nicely.

Stylos are branching ridiculously right now... Fully encrusted base, getting close to encrusting the refugium stand.

Sold to me as a Birdsnest but I'm fairly certain it's a Stylo or something else? Pointy tips but thick skeleton, not "dainty" and fragile like most Birdsnest plus it's not just still alive but thriving in my tank.

Bubble Gum Digitata that died three times now. Not growing extremely fast but it's alive still!!!

Plenty more SPS, just decided I'd show some progress.

"Birdsnest" when I added it two months ago for reference:

Red Volcano when I added it in February:

Really hard to see in the last picture but some of my Radioactive Dragon Eye Zoas went "un"Radioactive.

It's a Joker. When a Nexus Burst splits and there's no orange, they call them Jokers.

I guess the jokes on me?

A vendor took us out to Fleming's Steak House last night.. I ate way too much but it was a good time!

Now, I'm sitting in the Water Conference classes. Gonna be a good day. A different steak house tonight. Apparently I'm expected to order the Wagyu steak...

Yesterday we went over to the Luxor and walked through the Titanic exhibit. It's pretty neat. A lot of items that were rescued from the ocean floor. Worth it if you get a chance.

And, I won the RGB R2R LED light in the Supporter member giveaway this morning so that's cool!
