New FTS with the wrasse right in the center!

My zoa garden is filling out nicely!  They are usually all open in the morning but by midday, some of them start to close up.  Blah.  The new LA Lakers are bottom center.

Ric garden.  The rainbow ones on the bottom right are my favorites!

Loving the PC Rainbow.  I am afraid it will slowly turn from yellowish to greenish though...

I dunno the name for this one but it has purple tips and is awesome

SPS arch top down.

Purple Stylo is growing out of control.  Made two chunky frags last week because it grew long enough to touch the overflow.

Bought another tube anemone.  Not as pinkish, more of a peachy color but much much bigger.

Also posted a review for two coral shelves OceanBox Design made for me.  Great stuff.

Leopard wrasse is finally eating and out and about most of the day.  I am now a huge wrasse fan.  Got a potter's wrasse in the nano.  Not eating yet but even prettier than the leopard.  Really hoping the potter will do well soon.

Those rics are just absolutely beautiful!!!!

what's the yellow/orange zoas that popping up all over the place?  They have nice color, but don't seem to form cluster like most zoas. My Rastas seem to be a similar 'wandering' type.

 

also looking over at the mother colony of the starburst in frags for sale. Did you notice some green streaks on the main colony? if you cut that out, would that be come the "grafted" cap?

Those zoas are scrambled eggs.  Zoas on this rock don't do well for some reason.  They get long and stringy and loose their mats.  So that's why I am trying to slowly convert the rock to all rics.  I have rastas too that are not matting up.  

 

There are some yellow / green patches on the starburst mother colony.  Kinda cool.

I love that leopard wrasse - and the corals look great! Do you have the potters wrasse in the nano now? I looked in your thread but didn't see anything about it.

Moved the potter to this tank today.  My neon dottyback was bullying it in the nano.  The wrasse been on prazipro for a 4 days already and I gave it a quick 2 min RO dip before adding it to the big tank.  Both wrasse been creating sandstorms all day and burying my zoas and pissing off the clam.  Blah.  But the potter wrasse is even more beautiful than the leopard.  The color on it under LEDs is insane.  Orange body with electric blue dots.  Hopefully I can get a picture tomorrow when it's out.  It already went sleepy time.

Ninja, did you get the kat frag from me when it was super pissed and brown? I can get you another piece if you want. 

It's all good.  It is encrusting but haven't colored up yet.  I will give it time.

Finally got a pic of the potter's wrasse.  The leopard wrasse is picking on it a bit so it's not eating yet.  Need to get it eating by end of this week as I will be out of town this Friday for 5 days....

Man, you don't know how jealous I am.  I've tried twice with 3 Potter's wrasse with no success.  I wish you luck with yours, they are truly beautiful.
