Thanks for the complements guys, I really do appreciate them. I have spent SOOO much time researching this hobby and practicing to get to the point where I can start to keep these corals. (and I am still learning)
I have another question. I picked this SPS up also, but am unsure as to the health of it. The large white ends of each branch made me feel (after getting it into the tank) that it was unhealthy. Can anyone speak to its health by the picture?
