A big thank you to my good mate @jaspass Who surprised me with this beauty of a bubble coral for my 40th...Thanks mate!! I love it! Here its feeding on some pellets. Also got a Redline shrimp from my gorgeous wife and I'm now hoping the Banded shrimp doesn't kill it...:confused:

Fish friends know what we really want :p

need more pics of that coral! Looks like a red cushion?

I would be keeping a very close eye on the Coral Banded Shrimp ...

I wouldn't like to see your (very expensive) birthday present disappear :eek

Personally, I wouldn't keep both together as I would consider it too much of a risk.

You might want to consider finding a new home for the CBS - what about the other tank at your place :p

Guess that depends on what you call a bubble, to me it looks more like (scientific name) a Cynarina lacrymalis than a Plerogyra sinuosa?

Not a bad Idea but this will involve catching the CBS and with that comes its usual issues associated with unpacking a tank. If the red line is still around I might consider this option. I have the Aquareef 195 almost cycled. so it could do well in there on its own for now.

Wow, that looks better than I remember! And yes @Sam Parker it is a Cynarina. Buying one for a mate is always a good excuse to get one for yourself (albeit a little cheaper)
