heres a better than Iphone quality pic of the stand the Laurie took for me (thanks Hun)






and a few randoms












and now a little story about reef irony.......we all know how difficult of a coral goniopora seems to be.....most people cant seem to keep them alive......myself included......Ive tried twice and killed both colonies rather quickly........a while back there was a stn-ing colony of some sps at the shop that I noticed had a small cluster of colonial tunicates on the bottom of the base, so I took the colony home because I have always thought tunicates were cool.......well the tunicates didnt do so well and the chunk of rock has been moved here and there and flipped and twisted trying to get these tunicates happy .....which never did happen, they ended up dieing.....since then, the rock has just been kinda in there, taking up space, so I thought I would turf it to the sump.......but wait....whats that?......a little wee quarter sized hitchhiker goniopora!!!........figures that the two I paid for died and the one I didnt even know I had is doing well
