"Diogenes", I said, "you have come down further in the world."
The hermit crab sat on a toadstool, smoking a tiny hookah and regarding me coolly. At length it spoke.

In a different universe I would have a number of tanks, and one would be centered on this outrageously large green star polyp colony, a resplendent island of tiny hands waving over a sea of confining sand. A cnidarian Napoleon on a seamount St. Helena.
In that universe, I am not moving this...

I've received a bunch of messages and am coordinating with people individually to pick them up. So, I still have 3 toadstools in my tank, but I think they're all ~claimed.
1. Green toadstools (Sarcophyton sp.)
Healthy and hardy. Six available: one on a round frag base, five anchored to bits of rubble.
2. Gorgonians
Healthy, fast-growing, easy to frag, and will try to gradually encrust anything they touch. Four chunks are available, 10-20cm high. This was one...
