Happy Easter VR. Those Asian acans are smoking! What's the yellow sps?

It’s SBB Yellow Fever, one of the only true yellow acros I’ve come across. It’s actually pure yellow in white light, no camera tricks! And in bluer spectrum you get some greens and reds that show up

They have an excellent reputation on this forum. I would have suggested an older version of Red Sea, built like tanks and problem free but to late. :winking-face:
Ok, since nobody put a laughing emoji I need to clarify the Red Sea comment was a joke because of all the seam failures and I just want to make sure no one took me seriously.

Historical fact that the apostle Paul brought green bean casserole to every supper not just the last. Rumor has it that the other apostles nicknamed him green bean casserole.

Crazy. That's why it stood out ti me. It's a yellow you don't see often, especially in sps

Kevin, I almost put a laugh, but I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. The one time I try not to hurt someone's feelings, and it backfires on me.

I literally laughed out loud at this

Sad because I can't come patronize your restaurant. Those all sound delicious (except the salmon, but that's just personal preference).
 
@kevgib67
I also scrape algae with this, but for stuff that's truly hard, the kitchen scraper is better.

What was the name of that magnetic scraper with razors someone recommended on here? I'd look for the post myself but it would take months. Oh...wait...was it Flipper?
 
My water is pretty cloudy. I'm assuming it's a bacterial bloom. Also, I can't remember if I said this before, but my only casualty was my acropora. It was just a test piece, but it still is disappointing.
