Thanks. It does for me all day. Nothing special or speendy but it full of life and that was really the goal. And most of it was tiny when I got it. That's the best part of the journey.

Thats my favorite part.. I love watching every little thing in the tank just move and do its thing and day by day just grow bigger.. Like you may know my live rock i got for my tank started with just three zoa polyps and now i count over 20 polyps on the rock.

I've freshwater (well, temp matched rodi) dipped a number of corals including a hammer, torch, and elegance all without issue. 10-15 seconds max with a couple swishes. All of them did fine.

Mine was moody the first week or so. You know, just enough to make you keep checking on it. Now it's fine. I hope yours is too.

Well compared to how it looks when i first got it.. Its awful all three branches had tons of heads sprouting out now i cant see amy what so ever. Even tucked away. I feel its just gone. Even when out of the water there was heads protruding out now its almost like a skeleton..
