I'm not sure what you're asking about in relation to lifting mate ?
I was thinking about who Scott could be and it finally clicked:facepalm:. I said hi to him the other day, nice guy. I did send a friend request to him but haven't checked to see if he accepted(hopefully I'll have another good Ozzy buddy along with you bigs).
Bare in mind he's from South Australia so he's a bit weird.........

Hahaha I'll be good the rest of the year I promise. Oh wait, Tim will be, my name is Taylor. In all honesty though, I'm pretty shocked how well you keep your colors on these wild pieces. It's 50/50 for me with the wild stuff.

I still get the odd piece that turns to crap no matter what i try Taylor. The only reason i don't have many failures now days is because i get to see the acros in person and i've purchased a lot of acros over the years so i have a pretty good idea what does and doesn't hold color.
The only acro i would describe as a sure bet to at least look ok color wise in all cases are milli's, they're also pretty easy to keep happy compared to most other acros in my experience.
Righto, back to the acan thing for Troub.
Here's the acan just chillin in the night..... you should see feeding polyps out all night when they're happy Troub.
Right when i'm getting ready to whack the acan, get a load of this cheeky bugger. Now admittedly i did photoshop the sign in but he might as well have been carrying the bloody thing.......... :hammer:
This what it looked like after the whacking Troub, no bare skeleton at the tissue edges. The acans are stuck down otherwise i'd take one out and give it a good shaking for you mate.
I want to point out that no one was hurt during this procedure. The acan was happy again within 5 minutes and thanks to the warm up swing on the snail i didn't strain anything whilst whacking the coral. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the acan pics Biggles! Much appreciated. And thank you for not hurting any corals in the process. I never would have wanted that. :thumbsup: It did give me a good comparison though look though. So now I feel like I can judge how my single polyp is doing a little better.
So did you tickle the snail and acan after you whacked them both? Or do only reserve that special treatment for acros? :lmao: If I even have an acro to spare, I'll try the biggles tickle treatment method!
Ok, is the next up this mysterious blue-wonder acro that is at the top of your favorites?
Top notch pictures and stories as usual :lol2:

Bloody good, biggles :thumbsup:
That bluish millie looks like a winner! Beautiful colors! How many millies you got in there now?
The Green SSC is fantastic, IMO. I'd prefer it maintain its existing color, looks very unique at the moment :thumbsup:
BTW, we're due for a Boxboy or a Kevin story

LOL - I feel a story coming on :bounce1::celeb3::bounce3:
Time to fire up some pop-corn and put up my feet!
If you go back to post #1128, I think that is where the box boy adventure begins.

Thanks, I forgot about this. One of Bigs (yawn) more uninteresting stories.
Now bring on Kevin, or the Acro stealing too, who renames unnamed

Look here Troub, you're gonna get me in trouble with the single celled organism right to lifers...... i actually gently picked the snail up and placed him down on some nice algae to feed upon - like Tiger Woods when he gently picks up a golf ball and places it 250 yds down the fairway with his driver...........
Bloody good, biggles :thumbsup:

Not sure how many milli's i have, 5-6 i think mate. Yeah that SSC is pretty funky looking atm so it'll be interesting to see what it does over time
Bloody Kevin........ it's Scotty and Tami's daughter Monique's 5th birthday today (go say happy birthday
) so i ask Kevin to knock up a cake for her that we can post a pic of in Scotty's journal. Look out the back after 30 minutes to see how he's coming along..........
The only thing baked is Kevin atm............:hammer:

Biggles, I almost spat out my lunch with Kevin's pic, hahahahaha
One day when you're really bored, I'd like to see a series of the different millies you've got :thumbsup:, they can be a pain, but also pretty darn amazing...
Marty, I don't think biggles could ever narrate an uninteresting story

Thanks very much for the nice post Mike, appreciate it mate
Despite Kevin initially being hesitant to participate in Monique's birthday pic i was eventually able to persuade him to sit for a nice shot. :thumbsup:
The sun was really bright and making Kevin squint so i used a shovel to shield him........... just in case anyone gets any funny ideas about why it was being held above his head.
