In case you guys were wondering what a Pink and Blue War Coral looks like, here's a photo of my original coral - my oldest coral in my tank. This thing has been with me since the old 5 gallon Pico AIO.

Growing in half shade on the sand bed. We've got green, pink, ice blue, purple, and magentas.

What? I didn't know such a thing existed, it's crazy
 
You are doing nothing wrong Luis.
Your tank is to die for.
Many many years ago, maybe before you were born, but not in a galaxy far far away, I had a very large tank with 2 large angels.
They lived for years.
I always kept a cleaner wrasse with them.
Many I would find in the sump some in the overflow, occasionally on the floor.
They like to jump.
They don't eat well.
What they DON'T tell you is they are hard fish to keep.
The sand well new sand sucks.
It does that.
That's why I don't have any.
It will get better. No worries.
Keep your head up.
Your positive vibe keeps this old man going every day and if I lived closer I'd partake in a Heineken with you and we'd get it all sorted out.

I don’t think anyone who ever went to a public high school could write such perfect poetry.

Do they get a lot of knots in their hair? That happens to ours all the time.

No, but all there puppy hair is starting to come out... and it's easiest if we just shave it. If we don't brush them daily they will get knots from their puppy fur shedding. Do you have a doodle?

My RFA has moved into a cave. I left it alone to start but it’s stayed there for a day and a half now and I’m worried because it’s completely shaded.
Don't worry about it... it has a foot and it can move where it wants. It's probably acclimating itself. Can you see if it's open or not?
