It seems so Steve. You can see two mouths in the second picture(bright flourescent green dots). Nice coral Wes. I will have to post a picture of mine. I have had branches of this coral for the last ten years in my 65. I don't know exactly which species I have.

well thats what i thought, however if it is spliting them its spliting about 6 times.. Thats why i wanted to get opinions. Ive seen pictures of frogspawns spliting but they all had one bubble.. its looks like its in a slow motion explosion lol

I know Eric. He's a great guy, IMHO. I've been to a lot of conventions where Eric is a featured speaker. Even invited to dinner with his entourage of friends. He's a very popular speaker and person. Very knowledgeable, personable. Some have the perception of him being a momma's boy or pretty boy but, even though I can see why, I have a different perspective. Eric is quite handsome, in a boyish way like Ricky Nelson, soft spoken, kind and gentle. People gravitate to him because of this persona he has about him. I think the detractors of Eric are jealous of him. Bottom line is, I like him and have enjoyed conversations with him. When he's talking about coral, much of the time he's way over my head and the information blows right through the hole between my ears.

Oh V, you sure know how to hurt a guy.

Yes, I know Sprung and I've met Delbeek. Sprung is a nice guy, knowledgeable, well liked, sought after speaker, popular author. I'll never forget my first chance meeting with Julian. I had been invited to a Tampa Bay club meeting in about 1998, right after his popular book came out. He was gaining some popular notoriety and was having a bit of a swollen head. I walked into a large room filled with people I didn't know except for my friend, who I couldn't find. At the time I'd never heard the name Julian Sprung. This total stranger walked up to me and said, "Hi, my name is Julian Sprung, I'm the speaker tonight". I introduced myself and excused myself to continue looking for the fellow that invited me. At the time, it seemed like strange behavior, now as I write it it doesn't. Of course I know him better now, too.

Charles Delbeek, is the Curator of the Honolulu Aquarium at Waikiki Beach. I was in Hawaii in 2004 as a consultant to two professors at the U of Hawaii. During some off time I took the opportunity to visit the Aquarium and asked for Charles at the Information Desk. He came out and we introduced ourselves. He gave me a personal tour of the facility including behind the scenes. Nice guy. Don't know much more than that.

Also met Rob Toonen while in Hawaii. Actually it was Rob that got me the invite to meet with the two professors. That led to the squid rearing facility I installed at the U of WI, Madison where I lived at the time. That was a good experience.
