Sabella's 450L mixed reef build thread

Hey Sabellafella, in the photo above with the various frags, what is the reddish-pink with purple tips? The large branching coral on the right.
Lol the big stick that wont stop growing that way, so i scrape the tips on accident everytime i stick my hand in the tank coral. Its a red planet i got from kenny, but its "zacks" red planet so who knows. They look the same to me

About to suprize you guys with most nastyest monti to ever walk the streets of reefkeeping this week. Patiently waited since i first layed eyes on it last october. Took alot of time and unnecessary drama to get it. So excited, hopefully i dont kill it otherwise id be paying a fortune for another one.

The first batch of babys that i intentionally bred, are almost ready to lay eggs. The ones that reproduced in my tank grew about 2× quicker,and appeared 10× healthyer then how i did it. On another note, Found 2 egg sacks already, once i see more eggs theyll be transfered to the 3 gallon. Once all these new eggs succesfully breed, the others will be sold for credit at my lfs. Now the question is, was it worth it for the initial 200$ investment and the effort. Absolutely, i got my money back plus about a years worth of salt supplements and food. Takes 5 minutes a week snatching aiptasia from my other tank and doing cup waterchanges.

3 or 4 i think months growth lol!! It happens, if i didnt split this frag with somone it prob wouldve started growing. It looks happy, but its just not growing AT ALL. It encrusted the glue after i cut it, got a little colorfull and thats it. Bummer, one of my favorites. Maybe the new bulbs will make it grow
