Rob Ryan used to coach for the Cowboys. Then they saw how worthless he was, then they fired him. Saints like to give too many chances sometimes. Like with cowboys, Ryan did real good in the beginning, then starting messing up real bad, like here.
 
no I didn't keep them. but im told theyre no more difficult than any other coral. just a bit more difficult to frag.
 
I grew some sps under a 5k kelvin cfl lol don't let sps scare ya. give them what they need and they will grow. its no more difficult than that. the only hard part of an sps coral is knowing what it needs and giving it the right amount of flow and light. this is under a single 10 inch t5 10k, and 2 5k kelvin cfl bulbs with a cheap blue led strip light. purple digitata. grew like crazy. then stuck it under my black box when I got it and I thought it was going to outgrow my house lol

I see they have people that are big time into sps. That Walt Disney tenius, like for a whole one, it's like $3000. It's looks so pretty under blue light, but under white light it's brown.
I would reef documentaries and the Coral would be brown. I would think, where do all these bright colors come from. Til I learned the blue light makes the color come out, and white light makes the brown come out.
 
yeah its a type of biofluorescence. many of the corals still have color without the blue lights, its just not as vivid and when you hit them with blue lights the colors change and pop.

Yep, I just surprised an expensive coral looked like poo under white light. I was thinking people pay so much money for that. But it is pretty though.
