Nice pieces! I want to try one of those gorgs again in the future. I had an all blue one many many years ago.

Torula yeast is a marine yeast. My children of the sea should love.....
No longer harvest from sea. From wood, I think?

@Dr. Dendrostein Can you tell what's the problem with this carnation coral?

I have been hanging in upside down like this for last couple days.

Now the base of it seems tearing off. Does it not suppose to go upside down? Or flow is too strong?

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

That's from Indonesia, not many coming here healthy. Unlike other areas in the world, Indonesia is inspecting corals in such a way, that some corals coming here are arriving unhealthy, especially nps softies. Bummer

Here's similar species like yours. See trunk very plumpy. I bought this only because at wholesaler polyps were open.
