How do these look as far as risk of heavy editing?

"Am I not worth it, though?"

You know, self-appreciation is a critical component of one's well-being. Amirite @Reefing_addiction ??
I mean yes you must self appreciate because why the heck not….

“Why do I work this hard and have nothing to show for it” (well I now have a tank full of the pretty and P.S. I’m only in debt for the new tank not my corals ;) )

“Am I willing to work this hard and not buy the corals I want when I want?”

“am I willing to put this on a credit card?”

“Is that coral worth it?”

Some are 100% not
I am 100% worth every coral I buy!!

At a certain price point I start asking around - that’s why I was asking about that frog….

I’d hate to buy something at that price point and be disappointed

dang, you better have steady hands. I was just snapping some v. snails with tweezers this morning. LOL. I'm not letting those little buggers get established. Whenever I see one, I'm destroying it.
Stay on top of it or you end up with this everywhere!

In other news, I'm seeing the beginnings of an aiptasia outbreak. One of the buggers I attacked with Aiptasia-F must have spewed all its planula about, because they are popping up in dispersed locations. I just can't get to some of them :-(

I doubt berghia would last long in my tank.

In clown prison news, I moved the toadstool away from the rock/BTA, which decided to live on the side of the rock and continually sting the toadstool. Came in and found a white-rimmed hole right in the toadstool's disk.

Everything looking a bit happier now.

Is the hole damage from the sting?

Yeah, the RBTA was bothering the toadstool last week and it didn't move over the weekend, so I assume the hole is from the stinging. Could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, went on an aiptasia killing rampage. Boiled 8 of them. And I found another baby RFA! Unfortunately, was next to the aiptasia I was boiling. Hope the little guy makes it! Not the aiptasia--I hope it reawakens in a berghia farm in its next life.

Photobombing astraea who also wouldn't let me scrape that part of the glass. Anyway, carpet shroom behind it growing well.

And that's the mama shroom. Ridiculous.

Adeeb-adeeb-adeeb-adeeb a-that's all folks!
That pectinia is getting huge, very jealous!

The koji wada is as magnificent as ever - even frag sized. The sclerites are incredible. A jaw dropper for sure.

Smaller can help get into tight spots.
The needle nose is bigger than I thought, but I suppose comes with the extra length. If I can get 90% of the buggers, maybe the bumblebees will stand a chance with the rest!

That thing is really nice! Do you have any future plans with a bigger tank?
