Well I got everything dipped and in the tank. I only got two acros, the Disneyland and my freebie was a Tasty Taffy! I’m super excited! The small one in this shot is the Disney:

Here is the Tasty Taffy by itself with a cleaner shrimp and a snail flanking it, but the scooby is looking good on the left rack:

And here is the mushroom box with the shrooms:

And here are some older acros I have. This first one is the Hollagram and then a long shot of the Hollagram with the Bumblebee and RR Rainbow Splice for reference of the yellow acros:

@SBB Corals . Hey Shane. What lighting you have the CSB under. The little one I got last sale is doing great on my 65 with dark red color. The huge one I picked up in a over the weekend is blinding orange/yellow
Around 80 par

that's low. I would of thought CSB require something in the 200s. You run radion?
Nems don't 'need' a lot of light. They like it, as they acclimate, but most will cling to the underside of the rock until they 'tan up' because too much just hurts, and this would mean internally. Their zoox produces sugar and amino acids, easily absorbed through the cell wall (one of the reasons for MANY trace elements) which cause oxidative stress on the nem itself if produced in abundance. (Imagine drinking a weeks worth of protein shakes with a cup of sugar in each in one day).

Thank you and great analogy. The little csb I got last sale is under a lock ledge attached to a nice crevice and hasn't move. I guess he found his spot.

Ok just for fun I took a head count of several of my corals. Here’s some lps- 5 Micromussa, 3 Alveopora, 9 Frog/Octospawn, 15 Torches, and 40 Gonis. And around 20 or so Acro, 8 Monti plus assorted others. 5 of the Spawn, 10 of the torches, 90% of the Acros, about 30 of the Gonis are @SBB Corals corals.

Been following along on your Instagram! Keep the updates coming! Let me have some excitement while stuck at work! Boring day today!

Some of those fuzzy colonies you shared @SBB Corals are FIRE for sure! Envious of everyone that'll get to attend!

Mine hid under the rocks for a bit, though the Black Widow seems to have been pretty happy in lots of light from the start(BW is SBB). Right now both are basking in 200 plus par. The Acro above the RBTA died this morning. It wasn’t doing well to start and I think the nem must have stung it. IMG_2366.jpeg

Bummer. Color is so bright. I'm waiting for my 8" cube custom made nem box with hole (no slits) with brackets and no magnets. It's for my huge Colorado Sunburst.

Question for you all. What do you do when the acro completely encrusted around and beneath the plug. Do you cut off the peg and mount on a small tile?
