i have mix feelings...confused,clueless,happy on the new found...but yeah i did jump when i found it....no actually i was screaming and keep bugging my husband why and how?

Now that's a nice bonus!!! He very well can/could sting the scoly, although they're a lot like kids and make a liar outta ya everytime! IMO I'd say get him off when you can he probably needs to get some calcareous growth going first and make sure he gets his share of light for now...btw love that favia in the second pic :bigsmile:

Very cool, though the ends of the tenatcles makes me think branching hammer, not torch.
