Good morning! Off to AutoZone to get the parts to hopefully fix the transmission.
That sounds like quite a bit of work and complicated, good luck my friend, let us know how it went
 
I only have one plate and it’s not beautiful…but it was cheap.

It has a little grafting of a darker color on the front right.

I “worked” at an LFS for a year post military retirement and we got some bright orange fungias in for a while. Those were really nice.

I disagree that it's not beautiful man! I love the cone shape it's taking on. There are some gorgeous fungia floating around right now. I like them too much for how little room I have left on the sandbed lol

Looks pretty darn nice to me!
 
I’m getting more and more certain that this is going to separate and begin a new little colony. Under blues and whites.

Thanks Kevin! How's it going today? How's your boy?
He’s doing better, sleeping a lot but the antibiotics seem to be working and the Ibuprofen every six hours is keeping his fever down. I think he has turned the corner. Thanks for asking.

Great to hear buddy. One step closer, it sounds like. They way your family cooks, I bet that appetite is doing him some good too.
 
Dang Tim, back to the ole drawing board? It's the torque converter. No, I have no clue.
No, it's a Transmission Shift Cable Bushing. Apparently no one sells bushings for my year/make/model vehicle.

Raja rampage?

Here’s mine if so…such a cool coral.

Also…I have another chalice that developed a hole in the middle of the colony. Looking online it appears they can split that way as well. This one is about 10” long.

My Stunner drops babies frequently. Sometimes single eyes/mouths, sometimes chips with multiple.

Nothing is ever simple is it man? That would probably be a nightmare to pull one from a junkyard wouldn't it?

Yes sir Fernando ( you know that name is going to stick and eventually you’ll need to get your first name legally changed), I need to frag it today or tomorrow. It’s taking up to much of my sandbed and it has some nasty sweepers. It took out two of my acan colonies the first time I let it get to big.
