Looks great to me.

Thanks @debbeach13! I’ve definitely been slacking on maintenance over the past year, but I think I’ll be looking to add some  new coral pretty soon. 
 

On the positive side my corals been growing like crazy, I might have to get rid of some things to add to it.

Probably time to start working on this again 🍻

Am I back?

Updated Zoanthid list from TSA live sale order:

 

- White Zombie

- Bam Bams

- Frozen Apple

- Rainbow Spectrum

- Hydra Dragon Ladies

- Utter Chaos

- Halle Berry

- Sakuras

- TSA Party On

- JF Daisy Cutters

- TSA Helter Skelter (eh)

 

Everything has been open since the moment they’ve been in the tank except for the “TSA Helter Skelter.” A little bummed on that one because it looked great in the picture, but I’m hoping it’s just taking a bit longer to acclimate. The polyp itself is a bit strange as it’s almost hour glass shaped. 

 

I also found a guy local-ish to me selling some chunky zoa frags on another forum for decent prices. Really planning on bringing the tank back to what I want it to be… Fingers crossed.

Will post updated pics soon.

TSA Helter Skelter zoa was definitely melting, which sucks, but it is better than a pest or pox.

 

If there was a pest involved it doesn’t seem to have spread to anything else, so I am assuming it was just a fluke.
 

All good though because the rest of the corals from TSA look great. 
 

Pic under heavy blues from late last night (I need to get another orange filter lol):

 

 

A ton of battling for space has happened between the hammer and pretty much every other coral in the tank. I have a feeling the tank will eventually be hammer coral + whatever grows on the tank floor.

Another hobby I’ve been learning over the past year or so is Blender 3D. Here’s a Stratosphere Zoanthid frag I modeled and looped.
