How are you adding the names? Is that a photoshop thing?

Curious, how's that Kobe Bean growing for you? I had it once before and it did nothing for like a year. Then I moved it and was not happy and melted on me. I have a new one I got in November and still has not even encrusted the plug yet. Either just a super crazy slow grower or just doesn't like me.
I just get the best photo I can and then go to edit on my iPad and you can add text on the picture.

The Kobe Bean was one of the first Acro’s I bought almost two years ago. It looks exactly the same as when I bought it. No growth and no encrusting. Pretty bland looking. I’ve tried it in a few places in the tank, but no luck getting it to grow or look happy. Last place I had it, it almost croaked, but this spot it’s getting a little color back. Maybe one day it will surprise me and take off.

@SBB Corals

Off topic question for ya Shane but your FB reel about RAP made me think about it. When you come to RAP CA, how do you set up? Are there tanks for you to use and then you just ship your corals out here for the show? If so, how many do you usually bring when doing out of state shows? I saw you mentioned you were taking ~850 pieces to RAP. I couldn't imagine shipping that much if you had to do that for RAP CA.

Just curious since it's an across country show for you.
We put everything in like 4 huge suitcases and check it onto the plan for rap cali we may bright 300 pcs ... it's alot to pack and check in. We have tanks that fit into suitcases and then bag everything individually

Waiting to see if the SCOP chooses life or death. Lost 1/2 pieces on 1 plug, the other 3 have a few scars but overall healthy. 2 pieces i gave to buddys melted.

Cookie Monster looks nice. Had to count but I now have 40 WWC corals and my wish list from them is very limited now. But one on my list is the WWC Whitewalker. Not many pictures of it online but very cool when grown out. Friend of mine had a huge colony but lost it before I could get a piece. Then you have the super limited stuff under Vic's Pics at insane prices but some awesome pieces. They usually don't last long either. Always people out there spending big for that one that no one has. An awesoime one on the list now is the WWC Maximum Effort Tenuis @$449, ouch!

Here is my Kobe Bean. Healthy, yes, encrusting, yes, a whole 1/8" in six months! Taking up valuable space in the display, might need to move it into a corner of the frag tank and check back on it in five years!

Thanks. That sounds like a lot of work! When it gets a little closer, I'll contact you put together a small "list" of some corals to bring :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I might finally get a HG torch. I have a calcium reactor up for sale and someone on FB marketplace hit me up about it and wants to trade a HG torch for it. No luck selling it so will probably take them up on the offer. Only caveat is that he's in LA, so it may be a bit before I make it down that way.

Would be one of these

Feels weird to trade for a torch when SBB you know?

Pirates Reef has all the high end goods, but at high end prices too! I probably have 75% of everything he has on his site, but have never bought direct from him. He is a one stop shop for high end but with a little effort you can find most of them for a whole lot less. Three top corals that he has and are still on my wish list are the TGC Gravedigger, RRA Ultimate Orange Passion, and the RR Robinhood. I'd love to see his stuff in person though.

I only have 1 non SBB torch and it pales in comparison to the others. Would love to get a SBB HG, however I've had no luck selling the calcium reactor so why not trade?
Oh I'm not saying don't trade.. I'm just saying it feels weird to trade for a torch after you know sbb torches is all.

Pirates infidel is on my wish list. Had one and lost it. My favorite... never seen it again.
