My 40 gallon recife build

John, we will replace the pineapple tree. I’ll snip a frag and heal her up before shipping. It’s on me!
love that crazy pineapple tree. I've never seen anything like it in anyone's tank before!

It looked super healthy when it arrived, and had the craziest neon coloration I've ever seen in a leather of any kind.

I’ve never seen another in any of the tanks on R2R.
I try and find the oddities of the coral world
 
I’ll get you a Rock-n-John signature Pineapple F’n Tree!
PFA brother!
Could you imagine the gear and swag we could have with that as our company name!!

The Bali pom pom xenia is another example
 
What a fantastic looking tank! Looks like a larger version of my nano. Rock scape is also fire
Many thanks.my friend. I really appreciate the kind words. I built that rock scape and had to tear it down to remove a damsel (long story) So I just tried to stack them back in the same order lol. Do you have any pics of your tank?

Where will you be sending the new pics?

I've been laying down all day, trying to get over the crud. The corals came in beautifully, as expected. I'll post pics of the Acantho tomorrow after it wakes back up lol. This little master torch is so bright though, that it's almost had to see the individual polyps! Man I hope it keeps
this color.

Wow, do they pop John!

Thanks Kevin.

I decided to throw the blues on some of the euphyllia tonight. They've never looked happier. NSW, urea dosing, and high mag seem to be doing the trick. I also finally found a happy medium on flow. The torches get rocked a bit, and the hammers and frogspawn get just a little less.
