Did you loose your Nepthia? I have plenty of yours in my tank if you would like some.

I did, I tried to move it and then it withered away in my tank issues last year. Yes would love to get a piece back at some point!
Sounds good I’ll bring one down sometime

I call this piece... Vermitids... basking in the sunset.
You‘re making lemonade here that’s for sure…

Is this some type of Cyphastrea encrusting vermatids?
Brilliant whatever it is! I’m a big fan of finding ways to manage/deal with the presence of “pests”. Anything that will handle the snot streams of vermatids is worth playing around with.
It almost looks like full encapsulation on a couple of them. Is that true? And does the encrusting keep up with the spread of the snails?

It's a pest coral... sunrise monti. The GSP of SPS coral lol.
I'm told it's possible to outgrow the snail and close it off however I don't think that's true as I've superglued the holes shut before and they just burrow out the side somewhere else.
If they get long enough you can break them off before they slide all way down but they'll have already multiplied alot by then.

very nice. Lots of color and lots of movement with fish and corals
where is blue face Angel? Was it camera shy or no longer part of system?
haha ... Good call on starship's nothing's going to stop us now... Im now listening to that on youtube.
Tank looks great. Achilles big enough to be an entree for chistmas dinner.

Wow tank is looking mental! Fine example of a mature mixed reef!

It makes a brief appearance at the end... it's always extremely shy for better or worse. Actually I'd say that's their norm now that I've seen a number since adding. Won't even feed until I back up most times.
Some reason it's not playing for me. Now I need to take the road trip.
This summer for sure.
This summer for sure.

There's something glitchy going on... if you tap it more it's plays multiple times at once lol. Welcome anytime.

Killer video dude! Great steady shots and a smooth pan. You use a gimbal/tripod?
Your tank is marvelous, something I’d love to emulate! Looks healthy and mature. Some highlights for me….HUGE Goniopora and Pectinia, wow! I actually love the Pachyclavularia colony, though many consider GSP a weed. Brilliant Riccordea garden. Super healthy Gorgonians too.
Couple ID questions………
I love that little orange/red/green encrusting coral in the lower left at 1:18. What the kids call that?
The Favia colony at 1:50. Nice massive form. I have a small colony of the same variety, but have a hard time tracking down a street name. Any clue?
I gotta make a trek down that way this summer and check it out! I haven’t explored that area of MN. Any good rustic camping around Lynd?

1:50 is a horizon favia… not sure the other coral. Lynd has a state park horse/hiking park. Ryan has his tank at his office in Marshall. If you make a trip down, let me know, I live between Ryan and his office

No gimbal... just trying REALLY hard to move smoothly. The phone settings for anti shake helps but dumbs down the quality some.
Fun tip for favia is you can keep stacking larger and larger disks under it to get a really clean dome.
Welcome any time! Yes there are two popular ones. Camden State Park and Pipestone are both really great with solid trails. Pipestone is cool in that it sits in the only quary used to mine (Pipestone) by the Sioux. Can see quite a bit of artifacts and such there. Camden rests in a large valley about 2mi away.
