The reef continues to rock along on auto-pilot... This acro grew from three twiggy branches a year ago to this. Those white tips are actually quite blue in person.

The fungia babies grow into colonial plates. This one on the right is two on the same skeletal disk, and both refuse to give up making it look like a pyramid.

I came home with two Gorgonians from the 20,000g reef tank in Long Island about a year ago, and they both have doubled in size and finally have changed from snow-white to a golden hue. One of the frags is from a colony that has been in captivity for 23 years.

    Looking good! I've been going a little crazy for gorgonians lately, so I am very jealous you got those from Joe. I would kill for anything from that tank, I literally stared at it for at least three hours. My girlfriend was not too happy!

    You should check with Joe, Justin Credible, Scott Fellmand and/or Laura Birenbaum. They have a new coral business, and I believe some of the corals are coming from that tank. It's a new name, but I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called. I'll try to find out for you.

    The company is ReefGen.com - http://reefgen.com/about-us/

    You would need to get your LFS to order from them as they don't sell directly to the public.

    Well luckily I work at my LFS, so I have a leg up! Thanks! Muchos gracias (I'm practicing for my Spanish final)!
