Sweet Piece! I have a wild colony I have had for about 8 months but can't get the color back on it, where do you have your's placed at in the tank as far as light and flow?

Thank Jay. Are you in town? If so, lets hook up before the wifey gets back

Sorry bro, I'm actually in LA right now. I just got back from the LFS out here. There's a SICK brain at one of the shops. I'd pick it up if weren't for the drive back up. :/

Btw, I found another rainbow urchin

Are you free during the weekdays?

Mine is about 4" off of my sandbed. I know some people that keep them high and I know some people that keep them low.

The weekdays are pretty much a no go since I work late, commute and when I get home, its usually time for Emma to show me her tank.

I picked up a piece that has the undertones of 4 colors. We'll see what it does

Gotcha. We'll work something out. Out of curiousity, how long can corals survive in a bag?

I'm not sure. I would say at least 24 hours as long as temp is constant. I just think about when a coral is transhipped from Australia or other remote indo island location.

I've had success up to 48 hours in a container, floating in a sump/QT tank. I've never tried pushing my luck any more.

Mark, if I hadn't known about the tear down, I'd have said it just looked like you did a little pruning. Very impressive man! I got Tony off to the airport at 5 this morning. He was stoked about all the corals, but that wrasse was all he could talk about...

hey mark, I just finished browsing through your whole thread. man that's a lot of splits!!! NICE WORK!!

I'm jocking your tank bro. Not necessarily jealousy, more envy. I still got a lot to learn/ a long way to go before my tank can even start to look like yours.

JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Thanks Pete. Now that everything is behind me, I can say that I am glad that I did what I did and I also also glad that it is behind me. It was a good time having you, Darcy and Tony over for some tank time.

Thanks Josh. I understand about the envy thing. There is something to be envy about in almost every system I've ever visited.

Thanks Steve. I am still getting used to my corals post joculator. Its interesting how it "choses" certain corals over others. I wonder if its an oder they put off. Yes, I ponder the decisions that my fish make.

You are only allowed to post one picture a day! ... I will comment here since I don't want to give you props on the other forum :lol: nice Chalice! name?

:lol2:

Since I posted it in the other forum, I decided to update this thread as well.

That piece originated in the bay area. It was marketed it as the "darth maul chalice" back in early '07.
