@SBB Corals since you seem to be around, two things.

First, I think the sale went well. This format has pros and cons compared to the big splashes, but the 'power hour' or whatever you want to call it was darn exciting. That said, if I didn't happen to be on for it, I would have been pretty sad.

Second - do you buy, condition, and sell, or do you grow out colonies and frag, or both? If you have colonies, it would be pretty nice to have a, 'mother colony,' page to see what they look like all grown up. Along those lines, even a written description of your torch naming would be nice (I don't know the characteristics of a Dr Strange vs hellfire vs gold pool vs whatever) since lighting makes such a huge difference when trying to judge from the pics.

In any case, great sale, thanks for running it. I'm excited to get everything in the tank, arranged, and see what room I have left.

I bought a 26 gallon in October and promised myself I would not upgrade unless it was still just as interesting after a year, so we'll see how it goes and whether I end up with a lot more real estate to fill up!

ETA: Also, it's fun engaging with (almost) everyone ;-)
Thanks for the writeup we need to do many site updates with mother colonies. We grow frag out colonies frag condition and sell them so all of the above.. as for torch description we will take that into consideration

At a year you've barley dipped your toes in the water. 2 years is when it gets more fun. By then you've learned and applied so much that a lot of things become second nature. Then...you can start expanding knowledge in areas you used to never care about.. just to have it in your back pocket. What makes this hobby great, if you really dig it, is the level of which you can take the learning/knowledge and play around and experiment

I do think the Weirdo torch... black panther and princes peach look similar in the pictures
Ive seen black panthers that were peaches. I do however see the differences of the torches plain as day when theyre finally in my tank next to each other.

Its hard to get the green tips/white tips to turn up sometimes. I def agree a written description or "SBB Torch Guide" is warranted

I.e.

99 banana
Mouth: Blue
Tentacle: Solid Yellow
Tip: Blue

Black Panther
Mouth: Green
Tentacle: jet black
Tip: Neon green

Etc

The good news is you legit cant lose, even with a duplicate. I likely wouldnt have bought a 24k and 99 banana together but not upset i have both.
