Is that the one I was talking about John?
It's gorgeous I want one!
What's your lighting again?
 
Shucks you guys maybe I'm a bit over emotional with all that's going on but you guys are making me tear up with all these kind words.
You are family and we were super super worried.
Prayed for you lots.

Thank you so much we needed them and still do. So much damage and devastation is hard to look at. So many lives lost as well... last count was 30 confirmed dead with over 600 missing.

I cannot imagine what that's like.
Sending out Smorgasbord good vibes to the whole area.
Just really really glad to hear from you this morning, and the rest of the family too.

I'm so glad you like it! It's really just a common hammer with extra long polyps. I dont think it knows if it wants to be a torch or a hammer lol. This was one of my first corals and it was extremely drab. It has done some really cool color shifting and growing since then! I have one radion xr15 g6 running it at 45%. (A couple baby pics) Screenshot_20240930_090612_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20240930_090646_Gallery.jpg

It's lovely!
 
Been a while since I posted an update on my wife's foot I suppose...

The swelling is down significantly. Her foot is returning to normal coloration with some minor bruising in her shin (likely from Urgent Care using more Urgent and less Care) and some bruising under her ankle. Mobility and flexibility is still limited in that foot and PT starts sometime after next week. She still hurts but hasn't taken anything for the pain since Thursday I believe.

She's a trooper.

It sure sounds like she is. I hope the pt gets her back on track, brother.
