Steve I'll be honest. I was listening to the music and then I saw t00L and just went straight to that. I'm a huge fan of all Maynard's bands, and love their shows. 🤘

Same here my friend, thanks Steve.
 
@steveschuerger Great pickups from hellfire. I am very interested to see what the button scoly looks like. I almost pulled the trigger on those, myself.

My frag tank will have many echinata. I think they are truly some of the most colorful and affordable LPS in the hobby. They just need their space. I might do tiles or small rock rubble colonies of those in the 50, so I'm also excited to see this come in and grow.

****WARNING ******

I had a beautiful echinata get pushed into my big orange scoly by a conch or turbo. The scoly is about the size of a baseball in circumference. It sent out a web of death and melted a 1x1 inch area of the scoly in only a few hours' time. It's an easy and gorgeous coral. I just wanted to share that knowledge.

You gotta...
