Can I call him Willy (nelson) instead.

I call him juicy toots and twerp.

I don't know. Not really excited about the overflow box frag shelf. Probably not going to use that one. (Very middle)

I may end up cutting the egg crate hanger off and using it in the lower right or upper left dead space. Maybe the front left corner. We'll see.

This thing went from 6 heads to 3 and was slowly fading away to nothing in the 75. Today, just under a year later it is fluffy and happy in the 125. Still 3 heads but bigger than the original colony!

I just went and added a FTS progression pic to the first post. The GSP has grown a TON!

Trying to snap a pic of the Birdsnest and Grumpface wanted to be in it. Who am I to say no?

Just grabbed a Vortex Diamondback 3.5-10 x 50mm for the 300 AAC.

Cheap sale at Sportsman's Warehouse.

Awesome corals! What are these two?

Bottom is a Darth Maul Porites, top is one of my oldest corals. Killed it twice so far. Pink and Blue Favia is how it was purchased.

Then maybe this is a favia?? IDK its weird.

Looks like a Favia or Leptastrea. Favia tend to grow into ball-like structures and Leptastrea tend to encrust plus have smaller polyps.

Well it looks exactly like that leptastrea but is a perfect ball so...
I think you convinced me it is a leptastrea

Could also be a Micro Goni or Bernadopora. I'm not the best coral identifier. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Uh oh... GSP vs Zoa Rock - who wins?
