Freak Hair is number 1 on my list when I know I won't (hopefully) kill it. Those frag racks are beautiful! Customize them "MS Frags" or something next time?
I think when I succeed in printing it without adhesion issues, then I will customize it. I can't seem to keep the corner down. you can see it in the last picture.

I am thinking a frag rack might be helpful to get the corals used to the tank before I find permanent spots for them.

Also do you all dip your corals? I did not dip my last corals from LRO but after pulling the flatworm off my hammer from the LFS I am wondering more if I should be.

This shipment from LRO I am not concerned about, as is the other shipment I have coming soon. I am a little disappointed with my LFS, I ended up with the flatworm and one of the heads of my hammer doing poorly.

Everything is so happy within minutes of putting them into the tanks :) thanks Ann and @Living Reef Orlando for an amazing sale!

Always dip and inspect. I have seen aiptasia, flatworms, nudibranch, and all kinds of nasty from all the sponsor vendors here. Doesn't matter if it's WWC or LRO or TSA or ARC.

I usually dip my corals. Unfortunately one delivery did not get dipped and I ended up with MENs (Monti Eating Nudis). I lost LOTS of montis. It was from a vendor I thought I could trust. That same batch of corals also cost my two torches and a hammer to BJD and two Rhodactis shrooms to some infection that looked very similar to BJD.

After that one I always dip unless it's from a vendor I trust completely.

Even more recently I dipped a shipment of corals and found acoel flatworms. I lost one of the two torches (even after dipping). The other one is doing good.

Short answer, I didn't use to dip but it only takes 1 bad batch to destroy your tank so I learned my lesson and dip.

@Elise_ I will say there are vendors I have purchased from that I've never dipped and have never had any issues. There are other vendors that I have dipped and still had losses and pests.
