i woke up to 3 small asterina's feasting on my paly. This is strange, I've never seen the stars eat any other palys or zoas. This paly now sleeps with da fishes

I lost my frag somewhere behind my xenia... just found it today and it seems to be still alive, but it's closed... I'll get pics soon, gonna give it a day to recover back in the good lighting. haha

I haven't been getting much growth in my RSM250, so i moved several frags to my work tank including the contest polyp. Here's the specs:
JBJ 28g Nano Cube HQI
The tank is stock with the exception of changing out the media basket with a StevieT media basket and adding the skimmer and an Aqueon powerhead. Here's a FTS and a pic of the frag:

I'm really shocked at the polyp extension I'm getting out of mine....

 

[m.miller1547]

Lookin like four heads now. Where you at Cubbies and Dre? Gotta get those updates in..

 

[FishBeard]

See, told ya... Much faster growers this time around.

Let's see all those updates this week for the 1 month check-in!

 

[m.miller1547]

I'm afraid i may hit a wall until this thing mats a bit more. funny thing is i have 13 heads on the winter contest paly. Those palys are awesome looking now. allot of blue in the center.

 

[helitaiwan963]

mines looking like crap right now... it's got off the rock and ended up in my pom pom xenia forest. it started opening up again. pics later today when the lights turn on!

 

[Cubbies]

[salt0727]

Cool! But really, final check-in is the important one to be on time with. There's no late entries for that one... These monthly ones are just updates so everyone can see where they are all at.

Here is my paly sorry my update is late.. Been busy at work..

So anyways i had to move my paly to my frag tank due to some algae problems in my nuvo.. To much light from the ai..

So specs are:

10 gallon tank
Koralia 240 for flow
Aquaclear 30 for hob filter
Hydor heater
Par 38 bulb for light..
Place my paly on the top rack to get more lighting..

Here is an iPhone pic of mine. Three heads now. Funny the thing has moved down the side of the plug.

So here's mine. I'm still working with my AI Sol to try to get proper lighting so i think that is why it is so tall and inside out, but i have two more polyps forming
