Been a long time since i posted any of my own pics. Anyhoo, heres a few of my 75g mantis reef. still growing up

a bad fts

duncan that I started from a single polyp

new orange crush acan

oops, snapped off an accdental acan frag during the transfer of the acan into my tank. Yes, the frag plug is a bit of clam shell

new micromussa

new cup coral, still waiting for it to open up but it started to poke some polyps out tonight during feeding

my watermelon chalice, i love this piece to death.

my peacock was being antisocial that day.

i got the cup coral, acan, and micromussa two days ago and they're already feeding tonight! reacted when i fed the duncan mysis tonight, especially the micro. thx super7.

Great Growth on that Duncan! One of my favorites.

That chalice looks radiactive! Def a beauty.

thanks guys! yeah the chalice really is as ridiculous as it looks, no photoshop of any kind. some days it shows more of the bubble gum pink than others it seems. compare it to when I got it January 2008

the duncan is designed to be sort of my centrepiece. compare it to the single polyp I got back in March 2007

or a dino

A T. Rex Cup Coral. I heard they are pretty rare.

Hahaha nice. I hadn't noticed before, but now whenever I look into the tank I always see a parrot staring back at me

silly rabbit, birds don't belong in tanks. Maybe as it grows, Ill have to frag it so that the parrot stays...
