pectinia? otherwise I say torch
I was thinking maybe a torch - I know we sell what seem to be Dragon Souls for £110 ($136.57).

But also I’ve fallen in love with orange hammers and frogspawn’s for some reason… maybe because my favourite colour is orange ;)
So, we’ll see what I come home with after working on Sunday!

Well, that went better than expected!
I came home with 2 corals, 1 Branching and 1 Encrusting. The encrusting species is a John Deere Leptastrea and the branching is a hellfire torch :)

Just hit the tank!
Here they are - The leptastrea is hopefully going to encrust into that corner and the torch is sat just behind where my Sinularia leather was.

Nice. Does the torch have any flow?
It has enough to move the polyps however it’s not being blasted by flow, in the store it was in essentially the same conditions.
Here it is a few hours into the tank :)

Look at this big brute! He must be getting ready to split into Atleast 2 heads if not 3 looking at how beefy and big he is. Certainly got no regrets going for the Hellfire over the Dragon Soul.

What’s the opinions on the way I’ve merged between LPS and Softies? Next up is trying to get SPS to fit in and not stand out like a sore thumb.

It’s so mesmerising to watch. I think I’ve been sat infront of the tank just staring at it for a good few hours now. Maybe my other torch may start shooting off if I move it into lower flow so it’s just barely being moved around.

I personally think they look great together.

Love the Lobos, and I really wish I could have one in my tank but it’s either they bleach or become a nice meal.
