Guys... these berghia went nuts on the aiptasia last night! There are definitely some left, but it is a VERY OBVIOUS improvement. They immediately attacked the monster stinging my green Cynarina.

This is wonderful!
 
If you do end up using short ribs, simmer twice as long as the recipe calls for. It is meant for veal shanks, short ribs need longer low and slow.
great, I hear short ribs, low and slow. now I think I need to break out the slow cooker and pop some in. supposed to rain all day. would be a great meal (if I had it to prepare at 8 am). 😢

Thats awesome buddy! Im gonna have to get myself some of these!
 
@tharbin I took a couple pictures of the tropicana for you. See how it isn't branching yet? I think it has real potential as it grows out. Right now, It doesn't photograph very well. You really have to inspect it for color pops right now. There is a goldenrod anacropora on top of the rocks, and one on the back wall. The tropicana is in the middle of the frag rack on the back wall in the long shot.

That's going to be a stunner. I like how chunky it is, great color and lots of polyps. Thanks.

I really felt putting it over creamy grits would have been a masterpiece. I’ve had but never made grits though.

I didn't want to add since it looked so good. but I'd do an island of mashed potatoes with 3 asparagus for upright trees right next to it.
