I don’t know what is going on, out of my last four shipments only one went right. From hearing from everyone on here it appears to have become the norm. I blame the generations that came after mine. :zany-face:
 
Sorry, I forgot to answer this! It's tangerine leptoseris! I am not sure what to do with the block of it. In my 15g I had it growing on a rock which is now at the bottom of the tank with other corals on it.

Beautiful color! I have a jack o lantern leptoseris just sitting on my sandbed as well. I learned the hard way that they don't like direct lighting. I moved mine up onto the rocks and it bleached in less than 30 minutes. I brought it back down and it seems to have recovered. I'm thinking of putting it on my backwall, VintageReefer style
 
youre very kind! yes in fact i think it has 3! im kinda sad though because my other 2 plates arent looking very good. not sure why...
Jill are you feeding the plates? If so how often and what are you giving them?

Kitchen hack: grab a cookie sheet or choco biscuit in this case lol to store the lard you extracted from the last pork chops you made, and you'll have the best lard for cooking anything ;) :face-with-tears-of-joy:
