This picture is from 2011. It was my 29 biocube. my favorite coral is that yellow leather. Can’t find them like that anymore. It got so big in that tank I had to keep fragging it. I now have bigger tanks and mostly acros, but really miss that leather. Haven’t seen one with that TRUE YELLOW color. No filters .......that was the color. I also keep that red flowerpot (Goni) alive for a couple years till clown fish hosted it and killed it.
I was so proud of that tank! Lol

Minecraft. I have an ok mushroom only garden made up of mostly collector and higher end mushrooms.
This is by far my favorite mushroom on my reef. Hardy, fast growing and just keeps going and by far outshines the rest.

Platygyra sp. , One of a few all time favs. The original nub frag at the top and took 2yrs 4 months to get to this point.

Beautiful Rainbow Platygyra! I have one about 3 inches for 2 years and I can’t get the fluorescent green at the centers. What kind of lighting and I would imagine mostly blues?

My mythical coral Bounce Electus, one of the few in the country and the exact one TGC offered $500 less then Mythicals asking price at RAP Cali

Are you sure this is the same one that TGC offered $500 less than Mythicals asking price at RAP cali because it looks like the one that Billy Bob offered Uncle Jim for a 5pack of beech nut and a case of PBR at the Roanoke Couny gun show but ended up giving it to his cousin/wife for their wedding anniversary. I dont know how you got your hands on it!!!

Of all of the corals I have ever had, my favorite was a specimen of blue Caulastrea I had in my first ever tank, a BioBubble 2 gallon nightmare. It then graduated to a 24g IM lagoon, where it lived until I was in florida and my tanksitter wasn't able to come that day, so he had his mother come and take core of the animals at the house. Long story short, I came home to a rotten smelling tank with a new red-pellet food sandbed and every coral dead, except for a green Caulastrea and my fish.
So yeah, that was sad. I haven't yet seen another Candy coral like that one, I sure hope I can find one soon though. Sadly, I have no pictures of it, but essentially it was a pink coral with a blue iridescence.

Good day stay safe, and God bless you all on @REEF2REEF!
