I will play with it and see tomorrow. Just bought an aussie elegance from a fellow reefer who is jumping ship. Alot of his corals were CHEAP! I got this elegance for 50 bucks and picking up this awesome rock next week with a crap load of corals on it for 20. The Wife also got some for 10 bucks each. This guy is selling everythin in his tank and the tank. he showed me aome led's for 250 but I wasn't that impressed with them. A potters Angel for 50 bucks I think. Thought about it briefly...

So, in 6 weeks, will be redoing the reef again!! Yehaw

thats just great fun when someone else has plans for their tank and HAS to make room for something else. I would love to see your elegance. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. (oh that could be taken wrong!! Lol

change can be a good thing

oh my..... how many mouths does that thing have on it?! Wow, that is beautiful! How much flow is it getting

My sons camera is recharging at the moment, but I will shoot a pic later and post it.

I know I could easily frag it if I wanted to without damaging the coral. I have it in moderate flow. When the lights are on, the tentacles are more flowing and not as stubby. I can't wait to see yours.

I thought my sons camera would take a charge from the computer but it does not and our camera is like....... dead. So, as soon as I can get a pic I wil do so. Mine looks similar to yours with the purple tips. The guy had it for a couple of years and it grew since he had it.

I would be scared stupid to frag one of these. A friend of mine had one that was hugeginormourus. He ended up giving it to his local zoo aquarium because it was so big and heavy. He didn't know how to frag then. He sure misses that piece. He had it for 12 or so years. He used to post on here, that how he found me, but I haven't seen him around for some time. (mental note, call the commander)
 

While adding water to the tank after the water change, I started blowing some of the crap off of the rocks. All the Corals opened, thought you all would be interested.

•        Green brain swelling up                                                                Scolley extending tenticles to feed                                       Sun corals doing the same.                                    

Neon candy canes never open during the day, their catching    Green brain opened up fully later finishing the water change.    Scolley almost fully extended. Looks really cool in person.                                                                                                                                       

Wow, never had a girl love me for my brains before :)
