I wanted to see if any of those pictures came out from this weekend. Thanks for the ride to Big 10 also. Sorry we didn't get to spend more time at Aquaria but at least you know were it is now.
yes that is what the favia always looks like. I wish it was a deeper red overall. that green polyp brown based frag is a monti of some sort, plating monti. Karen and Billy have a frag of it also. We both got one from Amazon River that one time i stopped in there.
The sponge is extremely healthy. It is covered in sand and other stuff that was on the bottom of the tank. I siphoned out all the trash that accumilated the day before Karen and Billy came over and it stirred up some stuff. I just need more time for coraline to cover the rock and the bottom and it will look better.
I got those caps from scott. There are two shades of red/orange, a purple cap, purple rim cap and a green one that scott held for me after the hurricane. I hope they fill in the center of the tank down the road. Would look nice.
