Looks like a very inflated stunner, the oddest part is that it's not plating out. So it may be a lookalike, you'll know if it starts sweeping and trying to start a thermonuclear war with your neighbor's pets XD 1 Quote Link to comment

When I got one in the past I thought the name just meant it was stunning to look at, then I realized the name is because it zaps other corals. 😬😬😬 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Ah I got fed up with my life and just decided to sell everything off and travel round the world for a bit, currently i am working my way back to England via the Baltic states, should be back in England and my new little flat on Monday 16th so not too long. Then will most likely set up another tank, its been weird not having one for this long now 5 2 Quote Link to comment

Life, got hurt (somehow not from climbing...), surgery, recovery, and back to normal now! I couldn't lift more than 20 pounds for months, so I let the tank go. I got all kinds of algae, the nutrients got knocked all out of whack, got some dinos which nuked my CUC, and it sat like that for a few months. Thankfully the Darwinism of the last 10 years of me haphazardly running my tank means all that I've got is old, a survivor, and extremely tolerant so I only lost a single acro frag somehow with bottomed out nitrate! But, the whole time the tank was growing at a glacial pace and a bunch of the corals got beat up. Been a few weeks now, got everything back where it needs to be so the dinos are gone, got a bunch of snails and have been removing the algae, and colors are looking pretty great again but it'll take a while to get it to where I want it again and for everything to recover. 3 Quote Link to comment

Oh wow well hope your getting back to a normal ... I'm sure your tank will get back to former glory in no time once the snails get their work done man...

Unfortunately my attempt to recreate your success, failed. Vibrant is an algaecide/biocide, so I understand why it worked; I must have missed on the dosage, duration, and/or repetition. 1 Quote Link to comment
