I made yummy garlic ranch steak bites in the air fryer for supper tonight. I love how easy they are to make and how good they taste.

Its a joke Coral several of us were posting pictures of new corals we got a while back and he posted a picture of his sand saying that was his new coral because he hadn't gotten any.

I figured , I just never want to throw out a funny if it’s serious With this one I wasn’t sure .

I’m surprised with all the dogs you have that you were able to make it to the table .

I slept 8.5 hours and felt better until about 10:00 then the exhaustion came back. I have an appointment next week with my cardiologist.

I had the same issue & then I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease so now I can't have any more yummy foods

Thanks Amanda. I do actually, after I got some food in me.

Urchins, Mexican, turbos, dwarf hermits and trochus for the rocks and glass. Conchs, nassarius, and sand sisters for the sandbed. Ive never had ceriths or margarita snails, but ive heard only positive things about them

Here's to one day, relaxing by the shore brother

That.... is in no way what a pyramid scheme is brother. Some people drive Chevys, some people buy Lamborghinis. Both are available.

I drive this top of the line collector classic muscle car, 1991 Yugo coupe!

Hope they find what’s wrong . Sorry to hear your having these issues . Good luck at your cardiologist. Hope it’s Something that can be fixed with ease.

I am in agreement with you as, for me, John Denver was one-of-a-kind. Another one taken too early.

He's really the only memory I have of my father.
I also know all the words to most of his songs.
Those songs of his will always run deep in me...

Nice...not $1500.00 nice but nice just the same! I used to buy 2000lb LC containers of live rock, fish and inverts for that...no way I could talk myself into spending that on one thumb nail of a coral...just me. I guess that is why my aquariums are still empty hahaha .

I cannot see spending anywhere near that much on a coral.
Not just you my friend, me too...

As well as some of what you mention I also like the harlequin brittle star fish . I have three of them and they keep the rock clean .

I can’t see it ................anymore Lol !!

That's my point.
A famous name starts an endless pyramid scheme. I understand that exclusivity comes at a price, but if you bought it for $50, how does that price reach $1500?
I have no proof, but I also have no doubt that this does more harm than good to the hobby, and that's why many either never start or give up because anyone can change the name of a coral this days and make it inaccessible to many.

Grow something, frag it, put it on a cool rock and call it the Angel coral!!!!
You'll be FAMOUS AND RICH!
