Two Acanthastrea lordhowensis.

I was wondering! I think those are beautiful.

I agree :) The red Acanthastrea I have was more Rainbow when I got it with purple and green. Right now it is only one of two warmer colored corals I own.

I thought about you yesterday...all of the females were large, and every single male was super small. Apparently that is what the females prefer.

Ha! I need a chunky female to make me submit.

One last little update, my CC Infection Montipora which I thought was a goner has risen like a Phoenix from its ashes

Love Montis been thinking about adding a tropic thunder.

Really thinking of going monti dominant not to many smaller tanks out there with them!


This one is really nice.

You can really see the encrusting in some of the SPS under blues. When these guys go vertical It is going to be spectacular

Nice encrusting!

Wish I knew the secret to acros. They die just by me looking at them it seems.

LOL, you are still welcome here any time. Funny, I struggle with LPS, but SPS seem to like my tank. Go figure.

This guy does not encrust much so far, but he is growing thick and long (and I know one of my good friends enjoys seeing him)

I always have pie on my birthday, but maybe one of each! The kids would probably like that. They like to maximize sweets. Can you top pie with cake? is that acceptable?



If Madden can have turducken, you can have cake, pie, and ice cream!

You can call it capiecream!
