basser1 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 O.K., I had to do it! I see "Leather is for Lovers" thread, a "The Softie Revolution" and I thought, WTH, acros getting' no lovin?? It just aint right I tell ya! Probably the most popular For Sale thread here on N-R is the Katpora thread, not LPS or soft corals. Everyone says, they need movement. You get an acro that's happy and is showing some nice polyp extension, there's plenty of movement! And as everyone knows, you haven't really mastered coral keeping until you have some happy acros, right?? Without further adieu, let's show 'em what we've got!! Let's see those wonderful and amazing colored fuzzy sticks! ^^^^ Disclaimer: Not Mine^^^^ And lastly, how can you not like this tank?? Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I wish the title was "Acros ARE for the amorous". Would be both grammatically correct AND a handy little alliteration Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That last one a red planet? Nope- just a purple Mille but it's a growing machine. Unfortunately an aggressive pocillopora started stinging it daily and caused it to RTN one afternoon ? Link to comment

Either way that is a beautiful coral and I am very jealous! Link to comment

Either way that is a beautiful coral and I am very jealous!Thanks TFish77, No, just some serious PE on the bottom right. The Poci was on the left side and they lived next to each other for 8months without any serious issues-then it was "on" and the poci took it out in a few days Here's a full tank shot of my Nuvo when it was "packed full" of sps. You can see the left side and the poci next to the Mille. Poci's are one of the most aggressive and proliferate sps I've ever kept. Most of these corals are now in my 50gal. or I traded in the colonies to my lfs Link to comment

Incredibly beautiful tank btw! Is the latest pic your current fts or do you have a new one? Link to comment

Incredibly beautiful tank btw! Is the latest pic your current fts or do you have a new one? Thanks! That shot is closer to when the tank was TOTM (April 2015) it's gone through many changes and I had to start removing some of the larger colonies because everyone was fighting. I had a few RTN events also and lost a few acros. Many are now in the 50gal. I don't have a link in my sig. yet for that tank but here's a link to my thread. More acros on the way ?http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/368698-moai-of-the-sea/ Link to comment

More acros on the way http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/368698-moai-of-the-sea/ I know what you mean when it comes to having to pull stuff out. It never ceases to amaze me how certain species can live together so harmoniously while some just seam to rain death and destruction upon each other. Checking out your new build thread now.
