We Illinois/Wisconsin people should be able to see the Northern Lights come Friday. Unless you're getting rained on, then all you will see is rain.
We get the Northern Lights because we just missed getting fried!

What is that??
Crap nevermind.
he is awesome. hand feeds but always goes for the biggest piece of food he can find then smacks it against stuff till he can cram it down. Though anything I put in the tank is messed with. Even those tight frag holes dont help me keep corals in there.

You want to see something funny, get him a marble with silver or shiny stuff on the inside. It will keep it busy for hours trying to pick it up and move it.

That might actually work for keeping one less destructive on rocks... I never thought of that... I had one for years.. I'm a dummy.

I had mine for 8 years and then it slowly faded away. I had a few "shooter" marbles in the tank for it and it loved them. Well, it messed with them all the time over the other stuff. Has to be some type of shiny one though. You want it to glisten when the light gets refracted and shimmers from the surface agitation.

That would be so much fun to watch.

This strategy is also successful with some people. Mostly politicians.

Works on me all the time. I definitely have "Shiny Object Syndrome".

Someone is not growing a base, but long limbs.

They do not base out much. Just form enough to hold and then grow grow grow.

Bigger than a basketball, well sort of (I cut some out and moved to other part of tank) and look at the base. It is tiny compare to the colony.

That looks as though it could be defying the laws of physics!

Nope. Not until I get the basement fixed. If I can get that looking nice and worked on, husband will let me have whatever tank and grow room I want.

I will snag a better pic later. That is from a few months ago. It is nuts how the 3 colonies just barely base over the super glue and then start shooting up.
