My saltynuts acro is now almost a mini colony again. It was only a few months ago that I sold the giant colony snapping it clean from the rock, However the little bits of encrustation has sprouted a ton of growth tips. Wait until you have to remove giant colonies out of necessity. Looks great Brett. I think that was my favourite stage of my tank - when everything was just growing out from frags/mini colonies. Everything changes so fast at that stage. I hate the pruning/coral fighting stage - it never ends, unless you have a major crash I guess.

The salty nuts totally got drop-kicked by the orange green formosa and the german blue digi. I made the mistake of putting some green digi behind it too! The green digi is all gone (stumps are growing back but I'll trim'em) and the salty nuts is starting to grow towards the back of the glass. Too bad it's not currently that visible from the front.

Your green shag dez is one of the ones i butchered off that flat rock. It did zero for me strangely enough. It's on the sandbed awaiting it's next post so we'll see.

Ha. Ha.

Let's just say what happened to my arms in the 97 would have been very very bad below the waist. The 'pox' on my arms eventually bled in a few spots and got pretty swollen. Things appear to be going away now but have some pretty red spots still. Itching comes and goes

That would really suck not to mention how would one explain to the spouse it is reef related. I am glad that nothing like this has happened to me.
