Everyone likes that baby! What a precious little one. I had my first at 32. I started too old or I might have 10 also! Lol
My youngest, Joe I had when I was 40.
 
so my anenome is detached from the rock today. don't think this is going to work. the dotty back was slamming into it. I'm thinking the dotty back should be re-homed. not sure if she damaged the foot or not.

Foot looks okay Paul.
Dottybacks are evil creatures.

Not too much now...
Stay safe out there!
Good morning Joel, happy Monday!
 
she replanted. I'm wondering if the dotty would be OK in the sump.?
Yes or back to the lfs.
I've had 3, hated them all.
My last one would terrorize my LTA, my clown and myself.
It would dig up the foot of the LTA all the time.

Ya, I had one over two decades ago back when I got my advice from teenagers at the lfss. I said oh whaa beautiful fish and bought it. To this day the only fish meaner and that took even more joy out killing of my tank inhabitants was a maroon clown.

Not me but cooking with Kris, she has making pepperoni rolls since she got up for the crew going up to upper Michigan for the bachelor golf excursion. These aren’t the pepperoni rolls you get from the local pizza shop, they’ve got an inch of pepperoni and cheese in them.

I've been calling this a toadstool. Someone just told me it was a hairy mushroom. I looked at my Liveaquaria order and it is indeed a green hairy mushroom.

As long as you like them it doesn’t matter if they are toadstool or mushrooms.

Oh, I like it. It explains the red thread yesterday. I didn't think toadstools released waste that way. Not a toadstool. Now it makes sense! 😆
 
So much beautiful color! I'm glad this is behind you my friend. Stunning! I'm loving that red monti. What is the nice bright orange piece on the right side of the sandbed?
Sorry, I forgot to answer this! It's tangerine leptoseris! I am not sure what to do with the block of it. In my 15g I had it growing on a rock which is now at the bottom of the tank with other corals on it.
