if you look at the pic the fight started on the top of the reef structure. and on there way down they broke off a piece of my purple digita. its on the sand in front of them
the rolled down the rocks and never let do. a fight that intense must be over spilled beer
yes i saw that i liked the first one alot. the second looking like a erupting volcano. good job. BTW it really was not my tread i just posted alot in it. i think bronco started that one.

its both lol some of the skirts are so bright they are red and some and closer to a very neon orange. i got them becasue i have never seen a skirt that birght in person. in pics IMO is it duller then in real life but with my 20k lights it makes the sand so bright white/blue that its very hard to the camera to focus.

sure. i frag them nearly everyday. ask quicksliver he coame to my house the other day to purchase a few frags. i take a razor and slice through the base of the polyps seperating the part i want to frag. then i put a chissle on that spot grab my hammer and SLAM!!! haha yes it is that easy.
somtimes they are on tonga branch and i just break those with my hands. a few rocks lattly have been grown over sponges. the problem with that it the songe is not dead and when it melts away i will be left with a bunch of polyps floating around the tank. in those cases i cut out the sponge and you will be left with a pocket of polyps. i slowly push a rock into the "pocket trying not to break the mat.( does not always work very well). and then in a few weeks they will be attached to the rock. tongiht i will be fraging a ton of stuff for the big E . i will post a how to this weekend with step by step pics

actually that was hckycoz that started that thread, i just joined in a posted a lot
i enjoyed makin rock....its still curing, i'm sure it could be done, but i need to figure out how to get that much saltwater, and i have to get bulbs...so i'm hesitant to start it yet, plus i dont have anyone to sell it to yet so yea. but it was a nice thread for sure.
