favorite thing.....going to bed! all she wants to do is sleep with me. at this point I'm 100% ok with that. toss a toy...go fetch...what? ....so its.... do you have a dog? nope!....
 
Mine are LaZy Corals Blue Zing
I just picked up a tiny colony today from my coral person. What is the growth rate in yours compared to the parent bird's nest and what color are your polyps. For mine polyps are white as well as the tips. I know when ever I get coral from this person they always color up or change colors. I run T5 and have lower par then she does. Just wondering what to expect.

I call her my dealer :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I feel like I'm going to a dealers house every time I get coral. She sells out of her house. Has an over sized garage stacked. Her hallway and two bedrooms are full of coral. She has constant traffic in and out, iv always wondered what the neighbors think :thinking-face:

Mine have a green flesh, white tips, and blue polyps. It grew from a 1" nub to an almost 10" round colony in about a year.
