Here are the rest of the new additions from Sunday.  

 

Clove polyps.  They look like little palm trees in the pico.

 

And some red hornets.  Also got a couple small polyps of the purple hornets from a reefer friend so I combined them onto one rock rubble piece.

Those Fireworks cloves are awesome! I saw some today at this new place I checked out, and thought o you They also had some with bright yellow tips, but I like the orange better! And Hornets! WOOOT! Those are such a clean looking Zoa, with the rings around the mouths. Almost looks painted on! Nice additions!!!!

I was eyeing the cloves at the last coral show but didn't end up getting them.  Went online to find them more than double the price so I made sure to pick some up this time around.  

 

Lovin' the hornets as well!  The red ones are my first non-green zoas in the pico so they add a nice contrast.

Tonight's FTS with all the new additions.

This is looking awesome. The branching GSP and toadstool look so good together, and the "skirt" of zoas around the volcano is really developing. And the Macro looks extra thick today, is it growing already? And those clove polyps DO look like little palm trees!

Ohhhh, I can’t wait to see how these grow in. Going to be so sweet.

Thank, man!  I think the macro does look thicker, but I'm constantly worrying about it.  Lol.  Hoping I can keep it alive.  The toadstool has definitely grown tho.

I'm hoping the zoas and cloves will form a nice lush landscape around the volcano.  Having a lot of fun figuring out stocking for this pico.  😊

Thanks, man!  Picked up 2 frags at the coral show for $20 each ($40 total).  Thought that was a good price.  Some other guy was eyeing one of the same frags and I just called dibs out loud to the vendor (tho I was technically hanging around the booth first).  Lol.

Love the cloves as well!  I basically went to SD just to get these.  Lol.  I'm hoping to find the pure green clove polyps as well at some point to add to the cluster.

This pico just keeps getting better and better. Love your stocking selections - they fit in so perfectly

Thanks!  Trying to be super picky about what goes in the pico which is really hard bc I like so many types of coral.  I saw a lot of frags I really wanted at the coral show I attended, but I just didn't see them fitting the theme/look of the tank, so I had to pass.

A couple sexy pics.

The tiki hut gets all the action, how about the volcano? does the sexy shrimp hang out there too?

In the second pic it's on the volcano.  But yes, mostly stays around the tiki hut.  I get real nervous every time it lingers near my zoas thinking it may have a taste for expensive snacks.

Some random shots.

Tiki man needs a toothbrush 😂, new pictures are great 👍👍
