Wow! You're going to put a Beta in your reef tank? :eek2: I'm kidding! That's a cool looking Flasher Wrasse. I take it he wasn't cheap?

It wasn't that expensive, but it did notmake it 24 hours due to my current wrassses not accepting him to the club :sad1:

Nice Rob. I need to make my way up there to see the new display. I went out to John's yesterday and helped him finish the plumbing. We got the 3 closed loops done, the return and plumbed in the temporary skimmer until he gets his new one.

Now I understand the way you place your corals (color matching). I love the way the purple coral in the background highlights the green tones of the coral in focus. Only bad thing is that now I'm thinking of rearranging my tank! :eek2: :lol: :eek2:

Mark your tank and corals are looking great! It's always nice to get to see updates on your progress.

Keep me in mind next time you need to frag.

Btw: Do you still have the Plum acro?

Thanks Fonda. What plum are you speaking of? Royal plum?
If so mine peeled overnight awhile back.

I picked up a frag of that a couple years ago. No fancy name or anything, just a great looking piece.

 

[Znut Reefer]

Mark yes I was talking about the royal plum. I lost mine way before the crash as well, seems to be a very delicate acro.

 

[mpoletti]

I had a nice piece going before the tear down which I lost in treatment. I added a second piece a couple months ago, but it peeled after the third day. I am still debating if the joc was just mezmerized by its polyps as the same thing happened to my tubs horrida when I reintroduced it.
