So I have a slight obsession with tiny cute things so I have to show you guys this adorable little Bluetooth speaker I bought for my office. That is a Samsung galaxy ear bud case beside it for size comparison. I didn't realize it was so small when I ordered it so I was super excited when I opened it and seen how tiny it is. It was also cheap but has great sound which is also amazing for something so small.
I'm surprised it sounds well for how tiny it is!

I have 3, one has grown very fast compared to the other 2. I am not sure when I added them. but compared to the growth of the other corals in the tank, the blue goni is the fastest growing coral I have at the moment
Good morning Jimmy!

Me to! It had good reviews on Amazon and a few videos as well that I watched before I bought it but I still didn't realize how little it was going to be.

All my quarantine tanks are being used for fish now. I have a few I could move from my softie tank though. But first I am slowly taking rocks out after water changes. Scraping and smashing as many of the devils off into the waste water as possible.

I have also heard this. But have never had an issue in 20 years. Lucky? Maybe 🤔

This is my hope. And why there are bumblebee snails in my other tank.
Morning Shelley !
