About a month or so ago I took a risk and bought this coral from DD....and honestly it was half way based on my wife telling me she thought the tank needed more pink. So perfect, a good excuse to spend some money...

I was doing some reading/research this morning toward me and my buddy getting scoly farm going over the next few years. I was reading about fragging scolys but also found a good...little older, but a cool read about the Symphyllia Wilsoni.

Here's the link where you can find both articles and a few pictures of my 'wife's pink beauty'

Mine is Resting In Peace. Sigh, was a very neat coral but all LPS of that that family would never do well in my old Reef. I have not even bothered in the newer tank..

Sincerely,

I could have sworn you asked for a night shot last week...maybe the comment you made was removed. Anyway - here's a not so great shot of the corner...

My buddy stopped over this morning for coffee and snapped these with his new jazzy iphone5...so limited but worth sharing. I'm loving how this one is coloring up. Just under the early morning actinics...no photoshopping here.
