Just found a new reef store! Picked up another hammer. It is a lighter pink color and is very healthy looking

Great! Is the hammer opening up for you? I'm glad you have a build thread again, I've been quite bored lol.

Btw, mattias' Acro is doing well.

Thanks adam! The "old" hammer pretty much died an them made a comeback so he is alive, but still looks kinda sickly so we just got a new one (2/3 heads, not sure yet) and it is pretty cool. It has much much longer tentacles so it looks kinda like a tree branching out when it is totally open. I hope he is ok because i dropped it when i took it out of the bag. DOH!

Good to hear about mattie

It is doing much better than before. Definitly not dead, just angry about somthing!

Me too, feels good.

Great! Maybe i should look at some acros.

So remember me (or one of us) saying that mushrooms were tough to come by in socal? Well.,found alot of mushrooms at this lfs! Like 4-5 reds on this one rock and 4-5 blues on another....40, i forget maybe even 50 bucks each. I cant catch a break, i really want a shroom garden!! They had really cheap zoas though.

Jsardina, i hope Bulldog Reef will ship...mushrooms!

[Nu-Nu the eel]

[George9]

Haha I think it's picture worthy the way it is. Probably better open though. I'm interested to see

Lol, it will get mich better tonight, or tomorrow. It is a different type of hammer i think. This one has many shorter tentacles, but also longer sweeper tentacles. Looks very cool.

I plan on buying another Torch and frogspawn once we move to the red sea max. I looovvee lps

 

[needmorecowbell]

Lol I can see that! You should try out some acans, they are pretty. Also, blastomussa merletti, it's a nice blue-green Lps.

 

[Gboy66]

Hmm it is opening up more..but isnt looking as good on the side jack dropped it...

 

[needmorecowbell]

It will heal up pretty fast, how far did it drop?

 

[Gboy66]

I dont know...ask JACK!! haha just kidding, most likely a foot or so

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

2 feet! grant how does it look??

 

[Gboy66]

Oh hey butterfingers.

It looks good, lets not worry. Some pieces look deflated and could look better, but they will be fine.

Ok guys, i have some real questions. When we transfer coral to the other tank, do we just place them all on the sandbed and slowly move them up?

 

[Ibrahim]

Keep them low or on the sandbed
