A very cool view.
Thanks all for the replies on the id of wrasse. How long does it take to transition to a male?

Still alive and starting to turn purple. I am a little surprised.

Watch some video of Goni’s in the wild, I immediately went and changed my flow on mine after I saw what a huge colony looks like. Granted yours is a completely different species from a different part of the world!

100% with @Robin Haselden on lots of flow for sps and much less for the LPS. Ultimately, most of your corals will adapt to a range of conditions, just give them time to adjust once you find something you like. Also, if you get to a point where all but one or 2 corals are super happy, maybe just move those corals to a better flow spot and then don’t touch anything for the rest of time! Or at least until the colonies get so massive the flow is completely different lol

I just want that big wave action again :/ I’ll figure out what went wrong

Ah, you got this no problem man

Hippie kid got a late bday gift yesterday. I haggled for almost 2 weeks to get it.

Would freak me the f*** out walking home to see that

 

[living_tribunal]

Trachy flow...low or very low?

Low, they can honestly take whatever though. Mine is getting hit pretty hard right now but is happy as can be.

 

[living_tribunal]

Hope it ships ok.

You got this! Honestly trachys are the easiest out of the big brains. Give about 20 pellets and he’ll melt away in bliss all day.

I have to take mine out of qt early to make space for the scoly.

It looks awesome with his 11 lava lamps. Lol. He really is a little me.

11 LAVA LAMPS!!!!!?????? How on earth did I miss this?? I need pictures!

Lit up anew for the morning.

Is there actually a tree behind those lights?? They should just build a fake tree and light that up instead of cutting a real one down lol

I remember about 6 orso years ago back home in Ontario I was driving along the highway and noticed this odd tree. It was HUGE, like 60 Ft taller than any other tree around it.. it looked SO incredibly odd, turns out, it wasn't a tree atall but a Cell tower disguised as a tree. I guess all the rich spoiled cottagers didn't want a Cell tower to ruin there "natural" view so they forced the telecom company to put a fake tree tower in. The funny thing is it still sticks out like a sore thumb and you can tell immediately it's not a real tree so kindof defeats the point.

Difficult to tell, but I think the colors will be beautiful!

@JoshH it makes me sad too. I wish it could be artificial.

 

[Katrina71]

How much room should I have for the trachy? Do they expand a great deal past the skeleton?

I'm torn because I refuse to have a fake Christmas tree in my house lol but those trees are just SO big it's a shame to see them cut down...

I've always been under the impression they need a bit more space than you would think, how much I'm not entirely sure as I haven't had one before..

 

[Katrina71]

It really is teal so far! I think I have a perfect place. Actually where I always imagined one.
