I received a box of rocks today.

Why-Me

Been going against the grain since I was a sapling

I usually walk by at night when it is dead over there. I could totally do it.
Hmmm....
Y'all would come bail me out, right?
I got your back buddy, just call me up!

I walk by this Chase in Manhattan almost every night. Am I the only one who thinks these folks’ cubicles look like powerheads?

But yeah look like ecotech pumps too.

You did. In fact, this past weekend was the six week mark since you made your prediction and it seems clear it is not dead. To think I considered tossing it. I usually do not pull skeletons as they just become part of what we call rock. This one was loose on the bare bottom and just looked ugly. Glad I listened, smart Lady.

Here is the updated progression

After the crash, the skeleton looked bare and then, the recovery began with signs of skin

Still some ways to go, but currently, the trend is our friend.

Life always has a way of surprising us with its resilience. Sometimes it's not what we want (like hitchhikers), and sometimes it's good (such as corals that pop back from [almost] nothing)! Glad to hear this survived!

I have not talked much about the new Montipora and frankly, they are not looking great. The Spongodes is fine, the rest are struggling. They are adapting to my tank and lighting still perhaps, so I am not giving up. If they do not make it I may just add a second BTA on the big rock and call it a day. Actually would not mind that. Black Widow, maybe? Anemones up top and the remaining LPS lining the bottom. I want to keep it very simple. My current anemone is recovered and thriving.

Told ya so.
Under whites it is looking more orange which I really like. The deep orange with the purple mouths and yellow stripes is so yummy.

I'm sorry to hear the struggles with the monti's. Hang in there. Might be acclimating still.

Hows the jmt dare I ask? :)
Looking good. It is in the back, deep in the flow, so hard to get a picture. If I can find the time this weekend I am going to add the second gyre and get a real maelstrom going in there.
