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 for your kind remarks. I think I am going to have to move that pectina because my dumb clowns are now trying to host with it and I don't want it getting too irritated.

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

Here's something you likely don't see every day - Turbinaria bifrons

This is crazy good. Red tinge or not!
Also love the big turbinaria.

Thanks for the compliment. I do try for variety and color but sometimes I don't achieve as much color as I am hoping for. There always seems to be about 10% of the corals that are under performers.

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.
