Just wanted to share my new colonies for my new tank.

Very nice petite frags you have there.

Question for you. Are you going to leave the plugs where they are in the live rock, or are you going to cut away the plug and glue the frag to a piece of rock?

Right now I'm just waiting to see how they do. If they start to take off, then I'll decide what I will do with them. Is it a bad idea to leave them on their plug and just let them cover it up?

Nah, just depends on what you like, imo. I have a few that grew off the plugs onto LR and wound up anchoring the plug there just with lots of new growth. Was probably the least stressful way of doing it too, I suppose.

BTW, love the anthias! Is it a Bartlett's? How many do you have in the tank/what size tank?
:D

Thanks Laurie, I have 2 tanks actually, My 65g , which I have had for 3 and a half years. And my new 225g tank, which has had water in it since June 1st, this year. I waited untill sept 1st to add any fish. Now I have 18 fish total in there 5 Bartletts and 2 Dispar. I brought my tangs down to the larger tank and my rabbitfish, but all the rest are new.
