These were all on plugs and I guess I wanted a cleaner look so I cut them off and re-mounted them to my rocks. But being new to this I used so much epoxy that it's pretty ugly and maybe too much touched the tissue?

Everytime that I have ever jammed a frag into some epoxy the frag has managed to grow over the epoxy and onto the rock work. I think you'll be fine

Next time try leaving the frag on the plug and nipping off most of the plug with some tile cutters. Then you can epoxy the little bit of plug to the rock. Looks much nicer.

Good advice Lance. Or Lance's wife. Sheesh I don't know anymore!

I was doing that then got aggressive with the cutters.

So one piece did RTN on me. I think it's RTN not STN. Took half a day what is the timeframe for RTN?

Others are all holding steady with good polyp extension. All 3 M. Confusa look great and the others had a tiny bit of recession but no change today. Fingers are crossed.

I love the clean look you have with all your builds! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Chris

You must have sensed my animosity regarding that. I do appreciate though Chris don't get me wrong man. Thanks for the kind words but someone else made this one look nice I just filled it!

Here's something I spotted today at RC. It had just a hint of blue with big polyps so I snapped it up. Personally I love how it looks in the tank as there are now nice purple/blues on the base. The picture does not accurately show how bright the colored bits are (for now!).

Can anyone tell me what this is?



Also got a frag of the fire and ice zoas. Will take a pic when more of them are open.

Lol, funny guy :P

Ah, dont push away the credit. You always do a really clean and organized job man! Its admirable!

Your picture taking skills are freaking awesome man! Even just of equipment shots, like when you had the 225 empty... Stunning shots! And all your macros... Im jealous! Haha. What kind of camera are you using to go with your mad skillz? (I bet you've already said that and I suck at reading)
