I'd like to raise mysis shrimp and raise enough of them to be able to put in a blender and add it into my other 32 herbs and spices mix, hopefully eventually.

Your welcome [emoji846]Thx norfolkgarden for the likes. Now the patience of Job.
Fascinated with NPS corals.
My schedule makes attempting them a non starter, but I will be retired in a few years and hope to do an interesting tank then.
Following you all to learn as much as I can. [emoji846]

Black sun coral, good specimen. Had some in past, never opened. Bummer
I WONDERED WHY IT LOOKED SO FAMILIAR!!! I had a small colony back in the day! I used to get em to stay open by powdering small chunks of shrimp with reef chilli then I'd hand feed and after a while they would stay open and fully when I fed chilli at night. I wonder if I still have the old skeleton...

funny, I think I have every Base Rock from most of the soft corals I bought.
I have a few in the tank right now. Base rock from some unknown anemone my brother found on the coast, skeleton rock from some LPS I picked up at MACNA, a few plugs from sps/zoas/xenias.... I used to have the skeletons from other stuff but some got thrown out, most of those skeletons and plus are back in the display. Using em as aquascape.

It's been 10 to 12 days so far. Looks like half the dendronephthya corals doing well half of them not doing well. Must be location for this, because all corals are getting fed the same. Sun polyp corals and gorgonians still happy. Scallops are happy to. Stay tune

This picture is the bomb. The depth to field contrast is very nice. Who has the green eyes?

Two of my favorite dendronephthya corals, still show no atrophy. Must of been harvested from the harbor. My water perimeters harbor like quality. Not great, but enough for some corals to thrive.
This my favorite #1 both have full polyp expansion

So, this morning, went to check on children of the sea . Was surprised to see this dendronephthya open up. I try adjust ph it closed up when I did adjust. Power when down, power is up. So I see it open this morning. All other corals fine.
All polyps open. Day 14, lost of corals minimum. Minimal atrophy on some. Milestone.

Location, location, location, I've come to notice depending where I glue especially the dendronephthya corals determines if they live or die. I think I found the sweet spot in the display tank for dendronephthya corals, still waiting on the Vietnam corals when they arrive I will put them within that sweet spot in the tank see what happens. So far out of 10 dendro's 4 doing great. Im hoping location was issue. Stay tune
This ones a surviver , really wants to live. Very healthy
