when are you going to frag that red blasto? the head to the far left is just crying out that it needs to be in my tank
Lol. It seems the blastos are some of the slowest growers in my tank. I have been feeding them a bit more I have noticed a few baby polyps sprouting up on both of my colonies, so that is promising. I have about 4-5 polyps on each and want to wait intil I have at least 8-10 before I frag. But you bet I definitely will at some point, I'll keep you in mind.

Thanks a lot max. Yes, I am very pleased with the progress the frags have made so far. They are coloring up insane!! The large acro colony is seriously my favorite coral in the tank right now. I never thought it would have colored up the way it has so far. You told me it was a green colony, but when it arrived i thought no way can this be green. Truly amazing the transition.Thanks again

Thanks man, the ricordeas are doing excellent!! The bright blue yuma didn't make it through the first night for some reason, I woke up to it melting away and my cleaner shrimp all over it. No biggies tho, the others are just incredible. Like I said not one repeat to what I already had. Thanks again for piecing together an awesome variety of insane morphs

Those are a type of zoanthid. I have that particular morph all over my tank. They are starting to take over like GSP. I have them in like 4 different spots all grown from one 15-20 polyp frag. They are an intense neon green with an aqua colored center with a tangerine mouth area. I believe they are fairly common morph, but still very cool. My fastest growing zoa for sure.Here is a way old shot under actinic PC.:

I have purchased the majority of them from LFS and Ibew on here. I wouldnt say that they multiply fast(they do grow in size quickly tho), but I have had 3 so far that have split on there own, and currently have many that are on the verge of splitting. I have resisted the urge to slice them up even tho I know I can accelerate the process very easily, it's just cool to watch nature take place. The one on the rock is splitting into three right now, you can see the "pinches" it has developed, and when the lights are out you can see where it has developed it's own "foot" for each of the three shrooms that it's about to split into. Rics are one of my favs for sure! Good luck with yours.
Here in an old shot right after both sets of the neon green, and orangish/pink split on there own. They are sitting next to each other. You can also see my baby green yuma that I've grown since it was the size of a pencil eraser head. That little guy is the big green yuma on the left in the newer pics posted in this thread. Thats about 5-6months of growth, and it gets bigger then that as these new shots were taken early in the day before the rics had a chance to get huge.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pics. I took a few more today to get a up to date full tank shot, and a few of my holding/quarantine tank that I just set up for my red bug infested acro, and my acans that were being harassed by my pygmy. They were back to normal the same day they were placed in here, so it was definitely the pygmy nipping that was bothering them.
