I don't need a Battlebox now. I just need to replace what was lost in my dinoflagellate attack.

I found that water changes makes it worse. If I leave my system alone for a month everything clears up. Now I only change 30% every 3-4 weeks.

I added a UV filter and in a week they've disappeared. Gone for good? Who knows. I'm going to wait another week to do a water change and then we'll see if this was the answer.

I'm thinking I'll get them up on the rocks in 2 or three days if all goes well. I agree... it's a sweet line up :)
I just got around to putting up about 3/4 of my last bag and they are all about as happy as can be! Keep us updated with how it goes!

I'm looking forward to getting a pack when my reef settles back down again. Dino's killed most all of my sticks. (Nudis got almost all of my montis...) I'm getting ready to replace all the rock and after it settles down I'm really looking forward to some awesome battlecorals.

This is my third order from BC. Starting pretty fresh in the new tank. Everything came in today looking great and healthy. In the past, I have cut them off and immediately glued them to the rocks without much issue. This time I think I will let them acclimate on the frag rack for a couple days, as my lights are pretty intense.

Front: Copps Calicali stag (maybe?), Houdini, Rainbow Loom, Upscales microclados, $500 Efflo, Bubblegum Milli, Pink Flamingo, Purple Yellow Tip Stylo, Orange Tip Albro, Rainbow Stylo, Super Valida

My only real request were a rainbow stylo (always been a fan of stylos) and a stag or two for my "stag island."

Sweet! I wish I could order boxes all the time but I am super glad this thread is here to see what everyone gets!

I wish there was a check in/ update thread that shows people's corals as they grow out.

Do you have one? It is certainly one of the nicer A. valida I have seen. If so, what light do you have it under? I'm just nervous about torching these frags, because I have a ton of light on this tank (even though I know Adam blasts them pretty well).

For people who have never had a Battlebox, they should know we are drastically underpaying for these frags. It is almost to the point where we should feel guilty. If anyone is hesitant about the notion of giving a business a bunch of money and telling them to send you whatever they want (I get it), I highly recommend doing what you can to muster enough courage for the leap of faith before Adam discontinues his practice of massively undercutting the prices, frag sizes, and quality of every coral retailer with these grab bags.

It came from me. Under HIGH par t5 and led. It's a stunner with orange-ish polyps when it's happy.

Very cool. I have T5/LED mix with a lot of PAR. I'll put them in the thick of it and blame you if they roast [emoji6]

Lol. I think my par via apogee is around 600 on the mother and I saw your pack healing at Adams and it was under led at 100%. I think it'll be fine.

In fact, this is the first acro that really took off for me and is very hearty.
