    I finally added my first SPS coral. Its a green birdsnest. Figured I'd start slow, something I'm not known for. Lol

    Excellent choice for your first SPS!

    I got a small mini colony back when my tank was 8 months old and now it is the size of a basketball 2 years later!

    I can't wait to see it that big. Everything else has been growing faster than I expected so hopefully I do good on this birdsnest.
