New shrooms. There are three on this rock.

 

 

Saw a beautiful yellow fiji in the store. The color was incredible. However it's recovering from being torn off a rock. Gonna wait a week and see how it does.

Looking forward to seeing more pics Mike. I'm waiting until I can decide where I want everything before I start posting on my build thread.

[Astinus]

I May move the Elegance to the Sand bed. Being so new to Corals as I am, I Do not want to accidentally place something and have Coral Warfare.

[Pjanssen]

CRAP. I did not realize this. Newb mistake. I Certainly will keep an eye on it and will keep folks updated on it and the Bubble Coral.

The Bubble Coral seems to be doing okay. Maybe it is "Beginner's Luck"?

[jedimasterben]

Elegance corals are Catalyphyllia jardinei, it is not a Euphyllia. Both are in the same family, Caryophylliidae, but are not too closely related.

 

 

Depending on where it came from, it will likely either die very quickly or do well for you.
