Hi,

Yes it's a birds nest

Really pleased that it has kept it's colour.. I was worried that it would be one of the corals to lose the colour during transfer.

Well, the Corals are finally settling in after the transfer and beginning to color up again

i have battled with some tissue recession to the bases but i am glad to say that i have managed to control it

Here are a few random shots that i took yesterday. Some were taken under Actinics.

Cool! Always good to hear that it's under control!!! What sort of thing(s) did you do to keep it at bay?

Thanks Guy's.

It took a while to dial in the doser so had a few ALK swings in the first few weeks! Potassium dropped fairly quickly as well which did not help. I cut the base completely off of one coral before the recession reached the branches. I then putty'd the coral directly to a rock; it seems to be encrusting again which is a good sign

One other coral was losing tissue so i placed it very close to a powerhead which blew the loose tissue away and it stopped receding! it's now re-growing.

Everything else is flourishing

I'm in love with the greens and blues in the second picture! What is that?

Hi Brett,

I have a few SPS in my collection that i haven't managed to I.D yet and this is one.. I think it could be Acropora Abrolhosensis. It seems to be growing very quickly.

If anyone has any other ideas; please share

Simon..
