This month is killing me.

Do people not bother reading the thread title/rules before posting or do half of you genuinely not know what type of coral is in your tank?

Not the greatest photo taken with my phone. But always liked when my clown goby perched in blue Ric.

Ricordea Yuma
LG G7 ThinQ with Polyplab Coral View Lens V2

I thought this was an interesting shot showing a little coral warfare between the ricordea and the zoanthids on the bottom right, especially with the baby yuma on the bottom left. I also just really like the coloration of this particular ricordea.
