    Very nice. They sure like to encrust before going vertical.

    Lets see the Strawberry please.

    There is a Coral Beauty Angel in there?

    I never had issues with Corals Beauties or Potters. Neither type of angel nipped my corals or clams.

    Very nice, the red planet really seems to take off once established, at least from what Ive seen.

    Very Nice!!! Oddly shaped piece you have there too :)...I'm with Cheryl...It will encrust a ton before going vertical. Very hardy coral as well. I wish you luck!

    sorry it took so long, was being really really bz working on the tank i couldnt take any pics of the RP.

    well my Red Planet browned out after a week in my tank. i guess it was acclimating. and its getting red-er and red-er as the day passes. shows no sign of growth yet.

    and as for the strawberry short cake. its still getting the color back. i got a bad fragment of the coral and it just looks really weird. but you can see polyps growing from it

    if it is a true pink lemonade you got A STEAL IMO. Very cool corals, all my favs!

    What type of clam is that? Is it a crocea? If so they are rock boring clams and you would want to put a small flat piece of rock under the sand so it can hook its foot on!

    GREAT PURCHASES!! Cool set up. I love the rock work in there
