I didnt know that.
yep that blew my mind too lol

Love the attitude. "king midas"

They are Yellow Zoas, not highlighter yellow. just yellow. Good daylight coloration (my favorite) :) started as 3 polyps.
 
I almost picked up a Chrysus for $25 this weekend with my Powder Brown Tang.
 
Why didn’t ypu?!
I bought a large Milli or Spath without asking my wife plus the Tang. I already have a Mel and a Leuco so I didn't want to be in more trouble and potentially have issues with the Leuco down the road. If I find one later (Petco gets them occasionally for $20-$25) I'll probably snag it.
 
I came across something like this while searching. It doesn't seam like it would be that hard to make especially if you do yours in small sections. the screen is held in place by plastic bolts and is removable to replace it is gets dirty or torn.

Exactly what im looking for/would make long term

3/4 panels across the 6 ft x 30 tank would be sweet.

Have a vision for it with the port holes for feeding and the hole for mangroves.
