Well i hit the TCK Livesale hard. Came away with 15 corals, SPS and zoas/Palys including one ive been after for a while which are red hornets. Ive wanted them for years now, ever since the hornet crazy started about 8 or so years ago.

some of the SPS i added to the collection are

RR Orange Passion

ARC Burning Bush

Beach Bum-look at that marbling!!

ARC Goldfinger

ARC Master Yoda, aka RR Rainbow Loom, aka Paletta Pink Tip

TCK Wild Watermelon-really digging the pink tips on this nub

TCK Pikachu

Aquaman Monti

TCK OG Orange Milli

Red Hornet

Nirvana

Electric Red People Eaters

Purple Hearts

And a sweet zoa assortment

Wow! Gorgeous corals and wonderful pictures! Loving the varied colors you've got in the new ones.

Purchased a new branch rock today to make some more room for my new acros from TCK. What do you guys think? It's right in the center...it was too big so I broke a couple pieces off. Not 100% sold on the placement yet

 

[kdino]

A little bit better pics showing the new branch rock. Last.night I epoxies a branch to hand on the main piece and span to a rock, it goes.over the hammer coral and I think looks sweet. I'm liking it a lot now, cant wait to put some acros on it.

I think I might make the bridge a zoa bridge, what do you think?

 

[Blutspitze]

I personally think the new branch looks good in its current location. I don't know that a zoa bridge is necessary, unless you put it slightly off center for rule of 3 purposes.

my stuff arrived today everyone seems happy...now I cant wait for the work day to be over so I can go home and put them in their place in the rockwork. Fist time order from TCK, will definitely order again, packing was top notch, everything seems happy and they were super easy to deal with!View attachment 1380517

Moved this guy today to a new spot. Picked him up a while ago-no name. Was all green, nearly died, down to literally a polyp or two. In the past 2 or so months it has started to come back and they colors look like it could he something special. Green and purple body with deep blood red polyps.

And a close up

Hey adam @Battlecorals I got this from you about 6 months back as one of your BC brownies...any ideas what it is. Pic colors are true to life. Green base, orangey red polyps very thin brancher, small coralites
