this coral is really growing wild. Here it is a few months back:

My stylophora Milka is also going a little nuts. I've had to drag it multiple times and drop it lower in the tank since it was growing up out of the water

Here it is four months ago

Nice work. Your corals have some neat colours. :beer: Keep up the good work. I do enjoy the assortment of videos on your YT channel.

karimwassef · Jul 5, 2016

Thanks. I wish I could figure out how to take vids with LEDs on. For now, it's only MH video.

Turning LEDs on makes everything a weird blue fog.

... With my iPhone, that is. There's got to be an app. I tried to do while balancing, etc,..

Just get a small piece of gel filter and you're good to go. I bought a bunch of squares and just hold them in front of my phone camera... it removes a ton of the blue and gives really nice color photos. Super easy and super cheap. Or even a pair of sunglasses may do the trick. See what you have lying around and give it a try.

Like a red or yellow film? Got a pic?

Yes, exactly. It's just a piece of cellophane essentially, amber/yellow colored.

I built this wall (on the right) and created each little nook and cranny. It's satisfying to see a little red emerald fitting so well into one of those cracks and looking so natural

his head is poking out between the closed zoanthids on the right and the Hollywood stunner on the left.

how about here?

birth event today - lots of babies.

I think the male was trying to help her release them, but she wasn't in a very good mood.

karimwassef · Jul 15, 2016

That's a different pair than the last video I took. These are the large ones.

Ever stick a frag in a wall and forget about it... Then one day- you're like "what is that? How did that get there?"

Sorry if it's jumpy - best I can do for now. I'll keep practicing.
