    What are these corals worth?

    Can try to trade into a shop, if your not in a big rush it never hurts to price high and lower price over time. Good Luck and nice looking corals

    Made some changes to the scape, sold off the two colt coral frags and opened up the right side of the tank. Unfotunate change with my yellow/goldish zoas taking a sudden downward turn, currently shriveled up. Opened up more space in the sump for the anemones to spread, up to 4x splits of the...

    Some nem picks. Moved the black widow out of the dsiplay, it kept wandering around. Think it was getting pushed out by the bigger nems. Doing good in the sump and settled down fine. Cleaner shrimp seemed to have past, kinda just disappeared one day and the skimmer filled up fast over night...

    Thoughts on Bristle Worms
