125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

Love the new coral and snail :star-struck:
I've never had snail babies survive past eggs before and this one's a Turbo!!! I love when my expensive CUC give me freebies.
 
And that Bower. First Bower, thought they were large, then read that they're like 1/2" to 1". This one has awesome reds and yellows and is almost 3"!
 
A little better picture. The mouth is very mint blue/green (not quite as green as the picture) and the outer ring below the red is almost Crayola yellow, not the green this picture shows.

I love it!!! I heard they're slow growers like true lobophyllia
 
Shrooms transferred.

Two of their feet were damaged in the move. Hopefully they all recover ok.
 
This is one of my Reverse Prism Favia. It was two mouths with barely any flesh when I transferred it from the 75. See the flesh regrowing between the two mouths??? It's recovering. Still going to be a slow road I'm sure but it's recovering!

Also, sponge growth behind the Favia. There's a couple of cool small yellow ones and a white one that I couldn't get a picture of.

I would get rid of the sponge growing on the favia frag. Up to you though.

It's not on the frag. There's a skeleton from an old Micro behind the Favia. It's growing on that. I'm going to be increasing the light soon which should help since sponges tend to like darkness. Right now it's under my Nicrew 30 watt but the noopsyche Pro II 90 watt is going to be replacing that soon now that my corals are out of the 75.

Ok. Thats much safer. The yellow sponges from my experience, tend to be photosynthetic. They also flourescent.

I'll keep an eye on it and toss the skeleton if it gets too big.
