Update on Nepthea we are looking better today. Greener, no black or brown tissue strings.

And polyps looking like they may give it a go. This is filtered and macro lens. So it still looks bad. But it's much better

Nothing to report.

Tanks not super clean. But mostly everything is looking good.

Fish are happy :)

Just waiting on coral to grow grow grow

This hammer is bailing right next to friends . Had it since 1 head... Now it rebels?!

Letting it ride.

Thanks @Battlecorals !

All have polyps out post acclimation, a second chance at space laser for me. A duplicate (freebie) that I can share and pass on, and 2 of my (wish list definitely generous you sent them) wonder woman and virgin mermaid.

Though brain candy is wonderful under whites! Love them all.
