Coral Lovers Thread!

Managed to add to the torch garden! Need to get a photo today with them extended but it’s finally looking nice again. Just need some black/browner torches to separate the vibrancy.

Uh… well, it’s a bit more than just 5 now.

Also got a few more SPS for the 5 foot, currently have a couple palawensis montis and one Acro so decided to get 5 more acros and a couple more palawensis.

I feel like it’s time for some FTSs of my main tanks, especially now the 5’ is balanced and a true mixed reef!

Loving my NPS currently. Especially the Chillis.

I’m a bit hooked and definitely trying to get 3-4 more gorgonians and a couple other NPS.
 
I fell in love with SPS and LPS. I have a Galaxea, Duncan, and added a blasto yesterday. Moving my zoa next month to the 10 gallon I plan on starting next month

Can't wait to see that torch. I wonder how bright it really is. It hurts my eyes to look at it through a screen lol
We shall see!

SBB says this is the brightest grail they have ever seen or come across!
 
You got two insanity plates now!? Nice!
Yes! And the baby has been growing fast and catching up. It’ already been sold and has a deposit. Once it’s a little larger it’s going to a new home

Where did you get the baby?
 
I picked up this chalice from a friend of mine that was shutting down his tank. It initially didn't have the yellow gold growth edge or the orangish highlights. It receded a bit from the stress of the tank shutdown and moving to a new system. But now that it's settled in and growing again the color is amazing! The two different shades of blue are super cool.

I have no idea if it has a name but I love it!

That’s REALLY nice!
 
This is my 120 little over a year and a half. Second Pic is a coral someone gave me it was all brown. Love to know what it is. Can't wait for it to get bigger.
