If I were selling at shows or swaps, I might have a sleeper at an amazing price that would only be known by someone looking for that item.I like to think that's what this was. It's got at least 20 heads , including babies!
I happy danced allllll the way home!!!!!
i belong here.
But I deny nothing. I admit I’m addicted
I said I would hold off on more coral. My tank is full.
But then there was an SBB sale and I saw this…
And I thought wow…what a perfect complement to my existing one…
^^ which happens to be one of my favorites. So I told myself in this sale and for now in general the only coral I’m buying is the lava symphyllia
And it arrived today and is incredible
But. Before the sale was over. I ended up seeing lots of other things I wanted and liked. Soo I got them too
And then I thought we’ll I always wanted a holy grail torch…so…
And then. It gets worse. I went from promising myself no more coral. To just one. To all the above
Then I saw Joker corals was having a sale and I saw a torch I absolutely believe I needed…
And I always liked these zoa but never owned them. Price was good
And then I liked these blastos. Couldn’t decide so I got both
And this Goni was a steal at this price and I couldn’t pass up on it
And THEN I drew the line and said I’m done, no more!
Until the next sale…

My last zoanthids.com order arrived today, so my current vow has lasted 2 days. I need to just not look at reefnbid.
Tell my about the symphyllia? Those babies are GORGEOUS!! I just discovered oulophyllias, which has become my newest favorite. I figured they were cousins and I'd look into them next.
I figure my current vow will last until the new tank is set up. As you know, I've been stockpiling to fill it, but having gone IN the tank to clean it, I'm nowhere near FULL.
Oh, you saw the Princess Peach too!!i belong here.

These symphyllia are formerly called lobophyllia but have been recategorized.
They like low to medium flow and light. The original one I got is incredible. It has orange glitter specs all over it and on the inner ridges. It has at least 10 mouths all along those inner ridges also
It can extend feeding tentacle and when it does, the green striping disappears
The new one also has the striping and glitter effect but it’s colors add completely different
MY tank is nearly full. To prep for the two massive orders I had to rearrange things, and I sold a few items to make space

Nice to see what my trachys will grow up to look like! (Now i also have acanthoplyllia envy. Mine is the size of a nickel. )
Next on the bucket list, Wilsoni (which I knew) and symphyllia (which I suspected).
But, not now, of course, because NO MORE until the tank is set.....
LOOK!!!!! TG LIVE SALE STARTS AT 11!!!!
(Think they'll notice if I'm coral shopping at my son's wedding? While I'm performing it??)
