I think I know just the spot! How much rpom do i want to give it? They're aggressive correct?

Not aggressive. Ok so here we go

Lobo used to get a bad rep for being aggressive. Because some were extremely aggressive. Everything you know as lobo, has been reclassified a few years ago and is now symphyllia.

Everything I call lobo, is symphyllia.
I’m just stubborn and if I’ve known it by one name for 15+ years some pen pushers renaming it just doesn’t do it for me lol

But technically they are symphyliia and not aggressive. Low to medium flow is fine just not blasted in front of or near a powerhead

I asked the wife to stop and pick me up a few shrimp. Just enough that I could chop them up and feed to my cleaner/fire shrimp when I target feed corals...

Needless to say I'm either doing a lot of prep work or eating shrimp for dinner tomorrow night.

Then everything else we knew as lobo was renamed symphyllia.

Do we think any frags i pick up at this frag swap would be fine for a 2.5hr ride home or do I need to build something specific? I have a few Styrofoam containers and I could throw some hot hands in it if needed?
