Featured Coral – Joe’s Signature Confetti Cake Chalice
If you looking for an amazing rainbow chalice then you might want to consider this AquaNerd featured coral of the week for your Christmas wish list. The Confetti Cake Chalice looks good enough to eat but at $299.00 for 3/4″ – 1″ frag you’re better off watching it grow into a beautiful colony. The coral features 4 vidid shades of red, royal blue, orange and lime sherbet green. Chalice corals do well in varying conditions of lighting and water flow but most species are commonly placed towards the bottom to middle of the aquarium. Some of these corals even prefer areas where they are shaded from more intense lighting to combat bleaching while others do better under intense lighting. For this reason, its best to consult with anReef Threads Podcast #300
This week we celebrate 300 Reef Threads podcasts with guests Richard Ross, Ben Johnson, and Chris Maupin. In a wide-ranging discussion we look back at some of the Reef Threads history and then address hobby issues and learn about the work Chris is doing. Sadly, Richard Ross had to leave in the middle of the show. We learned later that he had to make an emergency trip to the vet but they were not able to save one of their family cats.
We hope you enjoy the the show and thank all of our loyal listeners for staying with us through these many years and shows. Also, a huge thanks to Rod’s Food for their continued sponsorship.

Moving can be tough on a kid. New places, new school, making new friends, meeting new bullies . . . I’m sure some of you can relate. So can your fish. Life can be tough even after getting shipped halfway around the world. So how can we, as responsible aquarists, help them outChristmas Tree Worm
Good morning friends, sorry about the lack of blogs as of late but I am way too busy these days to post. My last day of work was on the 11th and we leave Curacao on the 16th on December so as you can image we are busy! I have a long list of last minute photos that I am trying to get done but it seems like I have taken on more than I can chew. The rainy season has finally hit and this alone is making it very hard to get my topside shots finished because of the lack of sun these past few days but I am trying. I have been doing a lot of cycling getting ready for the 80k Curacao Extreme race which happens on the 4th of next month “weather permitting”.
