Also, they're very easy to train to eat out of your hand. However, they can and will draw blood if they mistake your fingers for something delicious, like mine just did a few minutes ago when I was feeding it krill. Their lips are outrageously soft, and then they bite down. Ouch.

I remember reading your thread about him in your overflow. That's what kind of inspired me to order the fish in, cause I saw your FTS and thought to myself "wow, a cowfish long term in an sps tank- brilliant!" Thanks for the inspiration!

Was enjoying the tank tonight and thought I should take a pic.

One of my favourite corals. This table is HUGE. I grew it from a 1/2" frag. It has NEVER been fragged even though numerous people have begged me. It hasn't even been accidentally fragged. I'm one proud papa. Although, it will be growing into the glass soon

It's about the size of a large dinner plate.

Exactly what kind of acro is this table coral Dez? Sorry if it's in the thread, I haven't read the whole thing.

Awesome tank, btw!

I have no idea. It was traded to me as a purple acro. I have never seen any growth pattern like this is anyone's tank in the many years I've been the hobby.

Looks to me like the growth pattern of a Milli! I have a few that are small, and a very large one (10" across) on my mantle that didn't do so well ;)
