You've got it Dan

As I look closer at the picture it looks like that 1.5" branch to the far right is out of place and really detracts from the beauty of that coral. I think you need to break that piece off and get rid of it. I might be able to find a place for it in SoCali. :frog:

Most of the SPS I have are a few years old so the names were created by other reefkeepers. Most people would not know what coral you would be referring if I said A. Austera. Its just an easier way to market. I see both sides.

As for frags, sorry, but I gave my pink jade colony away last year and I have never farmed the snowcone prostrata. Thanks

Yep, and they are nothing compared to the robokaki. That thing will eat or sting anything close to it :eek1:

The jocs are awesome Brian I have actually been thinking of thinning the coral herd to so I can see them more. After the halides power down in the early evening, they spend a lot more time together. I have seen them on 3 different occasions go nose to belly and start to work their way to the surface. There is no magic yet, but they are definitely getting along
