Ill let u know if i find any good buys on the superman im lookin now, i noticed though that the encrusting montis are tougher to keep then most of the acros i have i figured they would be easier but who knows.

cool yeah let me know .... yeah the encrusting ones can be kinda tricky with lighting and flow demands they can brown very easily

awesome murph, hey it looks like your anemone might have bleached a little in the last 7 months based on the picture.. any idea why?
its so crazy that your rock has so much coraline algae on it that it just blends with the colorful coral, also you ever have any problems with corals stinging others because they are so closely packed, i think it would be cool to see one fight for territory, you know the whole extruding their guts and eating eachother.. haha only if they werent so expensive right?

how do you get sps to grow? i have enough lighting, but i just can't seem to keep any acros alive. Maybe its my water quality?

yeah i dont know what happend to y its bleached i feed it it never moves is always inflated but it did bleach alot and im not sure why?
yeah the rock is loaded with living stuff one thing i didnt want were aptasias but i put 8 bergia nudibranchs in about 3 months ago and they have been slowly makin there way through the aptasias and there numbers are dwendiling
ive had some corals fall onto each otehr and sting but now they are growing into each others paths... i have a few within a few millimeters of each otehr it will be interesting to see what they end up doin... i might have to do a lil fraggin
oh and thank u bluetang66!
