@banasophia scolys are hard to kill. If anyone can keep one you could. But $200 is a bit much....I’m a cheep reefer $100 is my limit for any single piece 

Sure glad I didnt charge you then :lol:

 

I have paid over that for a few pieces.........Hell one polyp of hallucinations was 100.......but sold probably 500 worth since I bought it so it paid for itself.

Thanks for your vote of confidence. 🤗 I just have to be careful cuz there are lots of things that would not do well with the high nitrates/phosphates in the Biocube and the less powerful lights, and I have a more powerful light and lower nutrients in the Nuvo 10, but little space on the sandbed. And yeah, $100 has been my limit as well... 

 

What do your nitrates and phosphates run in your tank?

I’m a bad lazy reefer for the last year or so 😬 I’ve become frustrated and complacent and haven’t tested in a long while. When I was testing and had every nuisance algae growing the testing never jived with the conditions I was experiencing. So I stopped and now all my test stuff is well expired. Starting to get into this again now that I don’t have a GHA dominated tank so probably gonna invest in some new test kits

I didn’t expect them to look this good. 🤗

Infected? Sometimes you need to go World War Z on it. Seems like it helped. Good call.

So I come home almost every day and the toadstool is all closed up...I’ve caught my emerald crab a few times using it as his personal bed 🙄 now I’m convinced he’s molestering the toadstool and just ignoring the bubble algae it was procured to get rid of....lazy bastard

Crab seemed determined last night...I waited and waited to get that ####er getting the bubble algae on video or at least a good pic of it reaching out to get it...however every time I got near the tank the assclown stopped and gave me that what you looking at look...it was awesome to see the bubble algae gone in the morning though.

Well I don’t think the toadstool is happy or wanting to be touched be the crab....🙄 could be wrong though....some ocean creatures have weird symbiotic relationships 🤷‍♂️

It's not "molesting" if they enjoy it and are willing.... but I'm not sure about that whole "molestering" deal. 😉
