I had them in my 75 first with major flow. Then moved them to this tank because I wanted to crank it up even higher in the big tank. 

 

You could always turn off the pumps off and let them catch something. 

I saw that. 😂

I have to only way I can feed them. The dendros can catch the food but the scoly and plates not so much.

In the big tank I never turn off the pumps unless I’m cleaning or something but with this tank I have to stop them so the Scooter can grab stuff since he’s slow as hell.

Afternoon Reef. 

 

 

.....still havent cleaned the glass. 😂

[Friendly]

what's on the glass? algae?

 

also, why don't you have a 22 gallon, 33 gallon and 55 gallon long and dirty to go with your 12 and 75?

sounds like you need a better CUC.

 

and don't worry about temptation...I'm not that good looking. 

 

but to tempt you...after you've got those, you can add the 9, 6, 3 and 1.5 gallon longs.

That's how it started with us. An RSM130D, then the 57 rimless, then an 80 rimless, then another and another plus the 30 frag tank and the dual 40 breeders.

Long Tentacle Plate Coral. 

 

Not yet......   he’s still in love with the Frogspawn. 🙄

LiveAquaria says this coral is aggressive...is that why it's so far out on it's own?

 

does it move itself? did you have issues getting it to settle down where it wouldn't harm others?

I’ve never had it sting anyone......and it likes to snuggle. It also closes up at night so no danger there. 

It will move around if it doesn’t like the placement.

Here it is snuggling with another Plate Coral and an Open Brain.

Good, if I ever get over there I have a pink one for you, Diaseteris. 100% bred in captivity from a spawn in one of the runs, they're about an inch now. I also have a Lemon Yellow LT on that stays pissed with me, dunno WTF its issue is.

If I ever get a few minutes I'll take a pic for you. They spawned and about a month later I noticed all of these pink spots all over the run. They're about 3 months old now. Like the rest of the Aussie corals, they spawn on the full moon in October.
