will see how it grows out, its not attached for life where its at, will see with time
 
Well Tom, how about just kicking back, watching your tank and spinning some Bill Evans?

Thanks, John. That's just what I'll do. I was going to share photos of my lunch and my 'ice cream' for being a good boy at the doctor but R2R has cut me off. It is even giving me errors sometimes trying to give a like.

That's ok Tom. If I saw the ice cream, I may be tempted to go get myself some!

Hmm ice cream in quotes has me curious 🤔 lol
 
Question for everyone, I know its not the best pic's but at the moment its the best I can get. About 4 weeks ago I picked up some goni's from SBB, he sent a "freebie". Its a shroom for sure, but there seems to be more life on the frag. Don't know if the polyps in the front are baby shrooms or zoa, but towards the back there seems to be some sort of cyphastrea .

only pic I can get to load, you can see the shroom in the back, but what are those polyps in the front, Baby shrooms ?

Maybe palys
 
Wow that is an extremely cool critters. I've never seen one in person
They are, a couple of days ago my son said I could have him because there wasn’t any algae left in his tank. The plan is to keep swapping him back and forth. Man it can move around the tank quickly. Almost like a rabbit. 🤔
 
My mom's not doing well. She got into a car accident a couple weeks ago, and today she fell and broke her leg and has to go to surgery. Not much of a bright spot for you guys, but everyone is always so supportive in times like these
So sorry my friend, hugs to you all
 
Just gonna leave this here.... My dude (or dudette) found their spot and has been sitting in here all day since I drop the food in right above him lol (Ignore the 3 Billion Hydroids)

Good day, the office manager was the only one with a key and she wanted to leave early.
