New vase pics
As promised, here are some pics of the vase. I apologize for the tardiness in putting them up.
I have three patches of corals: a beautiful hillock of green star polyps, a canyon of ugly and worthless green star polyps I probably couldn't even give away, and a seashell of brown zoanthids: three polyps with a fourth just starting to bud.
See how ugly that small group of GSP is when compared to the one in full bloom?
The lush bright green gsp came from my main nano. I fragged it by placing a seashell next to the mother mat, and over the course of a few months it completely covered it. Removing it was much more simple than I had made it out to be--I just used a small pair of scissors and went into the tank during the night with a flashlight. Cut away easily, and by the next morning the polyps were out and looking as good as ever.
The brown button polyps were fragged the same way.
Oh, I do not recommend Holdfast bonding putty. Garbage. I tried four times to get the shells to stick to their new substrate, and each time it didn't work. It was a mess and a waste of time--I just wedged the shells onto the rocks as best as I could. In time, the encrusting mat will jump to the main rocks.

I really enjoyed many of your articles and am going to try to set up a fish bowl. I have a 25 gal fresh water tank. I have 5 fish now. I started with 7 but 2 of my Platys died within a week after getting them. I now have 4 tetra serpae and 1 little boy platy that I call Bart after the Simpson's Bart. I sing to my fish. I think they like it. I just make up words to fam tunes that have to do with my fish.
