LOL. Someone who has a 155G a 40G and a 14G in a 700sq foot apartment with no EIK, that's who!
We've been working on moving things over from our 40G to our 155G, so we've had the camera out and ready for use to take pics as we go along. Unfortunately the table is only about 5' from the tank, so the camera keeps getting set there, and then my husband hands me a hot bowl of potatoes that were roasted with chicken and, WHAM, camera ruined (almost got the laptop too)!
BTW, your brain coral is so vibrant, is that under actinic lighting only?

LOL, yes my house is an aquarium. We also have a little terrier and a Bearded Dragon, so maybe it's more like a pet store? Put it this way, if I am ever completely smashed drunk, I should not walk around my apt, because I will without a doubt walk into a fish tank, dog bed, or lizards cage! Even waking up in the middle of the night is a challenge if I need to walk around! Needless to say, we have a cool apt, but won't be throwing any parties, LOL

Thanks! Yea, it seems like the reds, top shelf Aussies at least, are pricier for reds.
I have two more pieces of eye candy fer ya . One brain, and that would could qualify as a 'moon brain'
My Aussie Favia (which is no longer with us
)
Top Down
And my other brain (Lobophyllia, the one in my first post is a Trachyphyllia), which almost met it's demise, fell face down on some polyps
, but it seems to be making a decent recovery. Pic was taken when in full health.

truer words could not have been spoken! I refuse to buy anything from one of the LFS's by me because I'm convinced they "spike" the water with something for the corals to look so good, lol. Everything I buy from them looks like garbage once I put it in my tank, and usually ends up dying. Luckily I live on Long Island, outside of NYC, and have a ton of LFS's to choose from.
