Mine has been acting really strange all day. He even pulled up parts of his foot where it was attached to some rock. Not sure if he's trying to migrate or split *Shrug* I'm too new at this to tell, heh. He certainly has the most personality out of all my corals so far. I'm jealous that you have 2 now ;P

I was being nosey today getting up close and personal noticed lots of little growth . Duncan's , Frogspawn, hammer , zoas , mushrooms . Some are splitting some are growing little ones from the base some are doing both .

Thats great about the mushrooms. I used to have those in one of my tanks many years ago. Mine multiplied pretty quickly. Very pretty and they can get huge when happy. Your SPS look great. I am glad you decided to try them too. They add so much to a mixed reef in color and texture. Nice!
Growth is good! That means all is well in your little water garden! I think that is one of the things I like most about this hobby. Bying a frag and taking pictures of it every month and comparing them as they grow. Seeing a frag become a colony!

It's definitely enjoyable. I keep a close eye on the inhabitants and they are all doing something. A little here a little there . It's neat and exciting to watch . I kinda was thinking some frags would do good and some would not but pretty much everything is doing ok.

Thanks to @Mom2Many today I think I added the last of the coral . Purple Stylo and a Bird of paradise will round out the collection. Plus after a stop @FutureInterest tank this weekend and getting the grape cap and the final hammer I am out of room .
Out of room is somewhat a good thing
Time for a bigger tank
Yes yes

No ,time to let it all grow.
Ya let it grow while you plan and start your next build. I got back into the hobby a few years ago with a Biocube 32. I am currently redoing the biocube, started a new 16 gal tank and working on my 90gal which has been up about 6 months or so. I am also considering turning one of my 75gal freshwater tanks into a salt fish only tank because my wife loves puffers.

If I do anything I'll build a AIO frag tank. I have spent a month and a half really gathering all the pieces I wanted , a few I didn't know I wanted , and some randoms. I imagine in 6 to 12 months I'll have no choice but to have a frag tank .

Haven't added anything just watching it grow . Everything is still happy . I decided to move my eshopps nano skimmer to the HOB refugium . Finally after 3 months I have it working to my standards . That thing is harder to tune then a piano. Clown fish are still homeless but are way more social with me now . Still feeding corals twice a week and doing a 5 gallon water change every sat ,sun . Really happy with the growth I'm getting as I'm only running my kessil 160 at 35% and really only at that level for 4 hours . Not running any white at all .
My favorite pieces right now are the Bird of paradise bird nest I got from @Mom2Many . The polyps on this thing are amazing . As well as the crazy Duncan I got from @FutureInterest , this thing just keeps growing and growing babies out of it everywhere.

Everything looks really happy! I'm very jealous of that large colony of Alveopora. It's one of my favorites. I've checked everywhere near me and can't even find a tiny frag of it. I -really- hate the idea of ordering it online but it's one of the last on my list for stocking my tank. Where did you find such a wonderful frag of it?
