So I had this out of the world Tenuis with super bright red polyps. True red, even in white light, with contrasting blue/green body. Waaay brighter than cherry bomb.

it started to encrust and I was really looking forward to it growing to a colony. One day, I come home and it was missing. Turns out, One of tangs broke the frag and it was lost in aquascape/sand bed…. Leaving behind a small encrust. I looked for it for hours. Removed half of the aquascape to look for the frag. Could not find it… well. I gave the small encrust which had 4 polyps a prime spot. After six months, the encrust has doubled and today, there is a nub :)

This log is dedicated to for this survivor. Pictures will be taken every month. Stay tuned. This picture might not be much but it will be a beauty in due course.
