Just back to the grind, I’m working till 6:00 pm and if I get out on time, likely not looking at my schedule, I should be home at 7:00 to feed all of my friends in the tank. You?

Same, crunch time on my end though, hoping to finish the rough on this building by the end of the week. Unfortunately the helper they gave me needs constant motivation :rolleyes: at this rate I might lose my cool before Friday lol

Good night all.
@kingranch2003 yesterday I hesitated to buy pink tip elegance as Luis' one but I was afraid it would take too much landscape. Real flashy pink tip without filter. They had also a black elegance. After I saw a holy grail torch or something similar beautiful yellow tentacles. They were all sold it was the one on the display, I tried but no success. Very very Beautiful under their lights.

That's a really cool coral, the elegance. My next purchase will probably be a grail type torch. Your tank is beautiful and almost anything would look good in there.

I'm finally getting my tank where I want it. No corals bellow a 10 are allowed in the tank now!
 
@luis angel Hows it looking this morning? I don't have an elegance but as you now, the weirder a coral is, the more I like it! I've noticed that observing these types of corals after lights out, can scare the heck out of you! Don't worry it's just in there being weird and stretching it's legs. Sometimes this is when I turn on blue lights and get the crazy feeding pictures and color shifts.

Thanks Jill, maybe I'm getting first-timer syndrome and it's nothing, but anything strange worries me, lol
