I am not a photo guy.......hell Teeny sold me a sweet camera but I still use my Iphone with a filter over the camera Thanks for the offer! Taking reef tank pics is quite challenging. I rarely see a pics that truly reflect what acctual tank looks like. Even tho I really try, I can get maybe %90 of what my eyes see when I take pics of my tank. I am too lazy to get my DSLR camera and filters to mess around just to get one good pic. iPhone is OK if you use some filter app and some pic editing/post-processing app. Don’t be shy, just drop pics you want to use in my PM box and I’ll send them back to you as soon as they are done. 👍 4 Quote Link to comment

That's true. I somehow ended up with a tiny spot of those on one of my zoa frags in the 40g. They're harder to get rid of than gsp. 1 Quote Link to comment

She does love her palys and zoanthids but isn't above knocking the bark off an Acro or 2. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure what they were I got them as Cats Eyes or something. They choked out both the Nuc Greens and Purple Deaths........I had purple Death polyps floating as they broke off the rock.....I still have a couple on that big rock but most have went away....... Also found out a leather can kill poker star monti.......that thing was taking over now I just need to lay the leather on it I guess as its mobile dang poker star is growing over everything.........including other SPS....... 2 Quote Link to comment

Those pink centered ones come in from Indo as "Deep Water button polyps." Dafuq does that mean? Anything pink or red commands big money out of Indo. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is that a massive rock of GSP on the right? 😛 Not massive but there is branching GSP on top of that rock along with a Tyree monti that grows out of it.......the thing was huge and cut it back to nubs and is now growing out again........I love the montis but those plating corals just take up space and shade the crap out of things......... I also have GSP on the sand love the stuff........it just grows and grows and I take it out and cut it with scissors..........I gave a 6x6 chunk to a friend so he could cover the bottom of a nano....... And well this LPS is one of my favorites.........have had it for a while now and the thing just keeps getting bigger and bigger...... Pics are no filter so blue........... 4 Quote Link to comment
