What is #9? I like it.

I'm not 100%, but I believe it's a Golden Basket Full Spectrum -- When it's colored up it looks ENTIRELY different.

Here's a picture of one colored up

They just look big 'cause I zoomed in, and they're single heads.

Most Acans are fast growers, but a very few of them are quite slow, and stagnate at 1 big ole head for awhile. For example, #16 just refuses to grow. It's coloring and plumping up, sure.. But it's been that same 1.75 heads for almost 9-10 months now, while others are making a few heads per month

Had the same thing with one in my first go around. It just kept getting bigger, never made a single baby. 6 months.

Everything is home -- and them some. My corals are in the big tub, the cups are new pickups from a buddy. Half will be developed, and half will be sold in packs to fun'd new coral.

Frag tank went dark before I got a pic... You'll like what I shoot tomorrow though.

And before you say it... BUBBLES ARE LIFE.

Looking good, Rakie
14/7/9/12/17 would make me buy you a dslr. LOL

17 apparently is an unnamed WWC piece. I've been suggested Fruit Cake, and "A shroom has no name". Not sure what to call it on behalf of WWC.

Tomorrow I have quite a few people coming over for Berghia -- And I'll be re-mounting SPS to larger plugs, and putting them on my scape. I'm going to give the Emeralds and Tomini tang a chance at that bubble algae. They're making a notable dent so I'm willing to give them time to work.
