Love your updates That space invader pectinia is great. I’ve had one for a few years as well, almost killed it a couple times but somehow it continues to thrive. Your specimen is gorgeous, vibrant and ever so fluorescent.

Thanks Matt. The top two pics are fairly new additions and are Aussie wild pieces that came in through Reef Raft Canada. I also picked up a couple of others on the deal; a horrida that is taking longer to color up but looks to have potential & a yellow tenuis but I just can't get a good picture of it so far.

The yellow came out with a red tinge in the photo which is not the case in real life

Here's a piece I've had for a while. It was sold to me as "orange" but arrived brown & has been making an interesting transformation. I believe it to be A. divaricata

A few interesting pieces
This next one is probably my favorite coral in my tank right now. I wish I could get the yellow to come out better in the pictures because in person the yellow base with purple tips makes quite a stunning contrast.

Thanks Matt. Things are coming around but I am still struggling with too many "under-performers" in the tank. I am wondering if they might be Union corals and they don't feel it's their job to be colorful.
