There's something fishy about this build...

Well @fishguy242 I was going to begrudgingly congratulate you on getting your POTM badge while silently moping but it seems I have suddenly and finally gotten my badge too.

So now I can give you a more genuine congratulations on your POTM win and badge!
Still waiting on that FIREBUG badge though ... :thinking-face: it's only been 4 YEARS NOW !!...:rolleyes:;)

I’m sorry to hear that. I know how much you loved that fish.

I lost my male square back anthias in QT today. He was so beautiful. :(

He got a bacterial infection and died a few hours after the antibiotic bath.
 
Got 3 SPS and an emerald crab!
A large frag of this long polyp acropora, A small frag of a blue and rep Monti cap, and A small colony of blueish green cats paw

Well you’ll have to wait for the polyps to extend but here are the pictures of the unhappy corals.
Acropora:

Montipora: yes it’s not pretty now but the mother colony was awesome

Stylophora: LFS thought it was Serriatopora but it looked far too fluffy when it was happy??

Crabcakes. Isn’t it huge!

I think it’s an Acropora millepora?

Other photos I took at the same time.
Is this the most dense anacropora?

This is a serriatopora

Pavona are definitely the easiest SPS

It's likely a Birdsnest of some variety, not necessarily Seriatopora. Stylos tend to have thicker branches and a lot rounder/more blunt tips than that I think.

Millepora have those long lashes on their polyps and tend to looks more hairy or fluffy in my limited experience. The corallites look right for Mille, but I'm definitely not an expert. Could be a Spath also?

Mille then!

That’s definitely a Millepora. My favorite acropora.
 
Can't trust them...
I checked again and it had moved over to some of my turf algae.

Also I lost count of how many spaghetti worms I could see. Considering I didn’t transfer any sand that’s quite a population boom.

If you're worried about a lack of diversity, I can lend you some of my worms.

Good news. Magnesium sulfate is apparently good for you in a bath… Reduces inflammation and according to some “people” helps with magnesium and sulfate absorption. Unfortunately I decided to evolve away from a permeable dermal layer a couple hundred million years ago and thus cannot absorb minerals through my skin. Ah well. Maybe I’ll find a frog and give it a bath.
 
Pedantic comes to the rescue!

I’m glad you found a bath salt for your frog! :P

PS I initially read your title as “I’m geriatric, ignore me.”
