Just fed the tank. I thought I'd show a few things we've chatted about and some SBB acros with happy PE.

For starters, @pandaparties this is the plate coral in his jail. Mine went for a walk, they slime themselves for protection. Apparently that let it come loose off of it's disc it was glued too. I read they can walk 12ins a day.

This is the Aussie dendros I mentioned. It didn't care about moving to full light today apparently:

And here is the Looney Tunes stylocionella:

Now for the SBB. For starters, the diffusers actually help with photos, it makes things look good. None of these photos even have the post iphone touch up on them and are actually on my personal phone. Most of the time I take photos on my work phone since iphone has a better camera than mine (though I should commander my wife's S23 Ultra). This is the Hollagram and even though it is the same as the pics I've taken, lighting under the diffusers makes a good difference:

Overall the colors look better, but this is still a terrible camera on my phone.
nice dendro! ;)

It's fun. It is the only NPS I have, so curious to see it grow out. I actually am thinking of trying a chili coral, I think I dose enough phyto to feed one. I know they are notorious for not surviving.
i love the color of dendros, ive never seen a chilli coral though

That is quite electric looking. I wonder if mine will color up that way. I like it how it is to be honest, it is next to the RR Rainbow Splice which has the color of yours, so I'm ok with it having a different look.
It's definately getting yellow compared to what it was when i first got it

I had one years ago, of course I didn’t survive, lfs gave it to me I think, I think they got it by mistake and didn’t want to try and keep it alive and I was like what the heck I’ll give it a try. I didn’t really know what I was doing, other than it was not photosynthetic and I would have to try and feed it.

You can get them cheap, the common color being red. But I've seen them in yellows, pinks, blues, and purple, with some of the exotic colors costing more.

On that same note, I was also thinking maybe a NPS gorgonian since those come in the same colors. Basically the ones not from the Caribbean since those are muted colors.

You know, after Monday, Tuesday, even the calendar says W T F! Making Monday and Tuesday your weekend is premo.
After a couple decades of travel working as a field engineer at 90-120hrs a week. When I was told I could do four ten hour days Fri-Mon I jumped on it. Give me Tuesday-Thursday off, that's great here in Florida.

If we want to go to the beach or anything, places aren't as busy during the week, as they are on the weekends. Don't have to deal with a lot people that way.

Because people are the worst...

And a lot of Florida people are the worst of the worst... especially those snowbirds from Illinois...

I agree. We used to go beach fishing a lot, until I kept a stingray one day (it was great tasting by the way). Then proceeded to get verbally attacked by a group. Most of the people defended us and got them to back off, but we haven't been back to the beach since that day.

Bought a boat and went fishing that way after. Just to many people that enjoy causing drama it seems anymore. Gotta get those likes/views!

My daughter is the same. She’s an operating room traveling nurse. Works three 12 hour shifts a week with four days off. she still turns 0ver $250,000 a year with the per diem and she loves it.
