    Man that thing is looking awesome!!!!!

    It took quite awhile to get it healthy, usually when the come in they are shrunken & receding.

    Just keep it fed well several times a week.

    Thanks!

    I'm glad it all worked out for you! Sorry I didn't get the fragging done I was suppose to do, We get so caught up in other projects, I loose track of time.

    We just fragged a ton of Orange, they are healing now, it will be awhile on the black ones.

    Yes that is a Sun Coral. They will do very very well as long as they are fed. If you dont feed them, they will wither away and die.

    It seems to eat anything, I even fed it some flake food last night with the baster.
    Craig would you please put a small frag aside for me of the orange with 2 or 3 decent sized polyps once they're done healing?

    I am coming up the Saturday before to start working at the show. I can bring one then if you can come pick it up at Hy Vee Hall Saturday. I tried to get at least 2-3 polyps on each frag, some are already looking really good

    I have successfully kept mine since May of 2010 with no target feedings whatsoever. It continues to grow, split, and fully extend polyps all night long. I run and algae scrubber and it leaves enough of the food in the water column so that I never have to feed it. Currently Santa Monica in California is testing an NPS only system based on an oversized algae scrubber and continuous feeder with pretty good results so far.

    Since I'm no a roll with the Non-Photosynthetics I figured I'd throw a couple more pics in. This is a Chili coral I picked recently.

    This is my NPS tube anemone. This is one of my favorite things in the tank. I've had this guy for 4 or 5 months now.
    I'd like to throw in I actually got every one of these from craig.

    Man,

    That thing was one of my favorites. Keep on feeding him & he will stay happy. I forgot you got him too.
