It just grows differently. It's more rigid and curves to form a "tube" if that makes any sense. Haha. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Aw I really appreciate that you thought of me ☺️ Either way, I’m really not mad at aquasd since I spoke to a really nice guy there. I think honestly I was just naive about the realities of ordering coral online and that most pictures are at least a bit edited. Also, that is a gorgeous branching GSP!! I’ve pondered adding GSP to my tank but haven’t gone for it yet. I love the bright green color it adds! I might actually prefer the regular old type but I’m not really sure without being able to compare them in person. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I've never seen anything like that. It was pretty amazing. And they have two of them!! My tiny frag has a looooong way to go. 2 hours ago, Sancho said: Speaking of ASD super disappointing that Will didn’t opt in for this event 🙄 good times though and I picked up some nice stuffs...didn’t get cool glasses though 😂 Well it was either the glasses or a Marina brand thermometer or a feeding clip thingy for tangs, so had to go with the glasses. Definitely had a lot of cool stuff. The RFAs were really nice and cheap as well. But like after just 15 minutes into the event my son was already asking to leave. So yeah, didn't stay long enough. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Got this small frag at the Coral Farmers Market yesterday (the only one that was fully open before lights out last night). Had a ridiculously long name, so I chose to forget it since I have limited storage capacity left in my brain and need to be picky about what I remember now. Adds a nice variation of green to my other green zoas. Had more of a guava pinkish center under the vendor's lights but none under mine. 😒 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Oh and here's an FTS from Saturday (before I added the new frags from the coral show and before the new RFA moved to a less visible position). 8 1 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 OK. Just ordered the Aqamai KPS as a replacement pump for this pico. I was really on the fence about buying a 4th pump for this tank, but ultimately pulled the trigger after reading this on the product description: "Aqamai is Hawaiian for something 'smart, cool and intelligent.'" I'm a sucker for marketing I guess (and committed to my theme). Hoping to get some waves up in here now. Should arrive on Wednesday. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Oiy but GSP are So prolific and can be SO bio-heavy I don't know if I want to change carbon twice a week, but that's soooo beautiful... 1 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Here are the rest of the new additions from Sunday. Clove polyps. They look like tiny 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. 6 3 Quote Link to comment
