Just a heads up from one reefer to another, those fairy dust palys grow at an almost nuisance rate so if you aren't interested in it taking over most of the area that you glued it on by the anemone, I'd advise putting it on its own rock island or on the sand. If you don't mind then please ignore.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the positive words. And yeah I have heard about the fairy dust palys but I'll just keep on cutting them back. The nems don't let them get too far one direction but I'll definitely keep a close watch on them. Zoas and palys haven't always done the best in my tanks but so far they have survived. I might go ahead and just put them on the sand or an isolate rock to be safe.

As far as a video goes, as soon as I can get a decent one when my glass is clean I will definitely post it up. I have been meaning to but just haven't had the time to make it happen. Soon though!

Progression shot. It's amazing the difference from the first photo that was taken on February 19th of this year to the second photo that was taken less than 6 months later. I added a couple of large pieces but the majority of everything in here started as a small frag.

I went and saw Sam again today and picked up a couple of other pieces I have been wanting.

Got a Mint Julep, Aussie Passion Fruit, Cherry Corals Pastel Shortcake, Rainbow Nasuta, a branching Meteor Shower Cyphastrea, a Jedi Mind Trick Monti, and one other I can't recall the name of but is an awesome rare yellow/green acro.

I also received a frag pack from a member off of another forum but I lost a few of those pieces in transit and am currently waiting for those to be replaced.

From him I got Tyree Lime in the Sky Acro, FragFarmers Red Robin Stag, Pink Lemonade Acro, Pikacu Acro, Shawn Bennett Yellow Tort, Smurf and Turf, Cherry Corals Watermelon Millie, ORA Stuber Stag, Oregon Tort, DM Marauder Acro, Tubbs Pink Jade, Blueberry Shortcake Acro.
