Guys / Gals,

I am amazed by these lovely corals and would like to see yours, mine is fed every other day with marine mix and brine.

so show us your pics please, see if we can get a library of different species.

lol.

I cannot believe i am the only one with these corals, mine must be worth thousands of pounds, would anybody like to swap for a car or something similar in value?

Beautiful pictures. Looks like yours are open all day long? Mine are open late at night. I've not taken pictures of them in forever, but here is an older picture.

Keep up the good work on feeding it daily.

Maybe rather Lucky.

Tubastrea micrantha grows in a branching formation unlike its encrusting Tubastrea brethren.

Here are some pictures of wild colonies: http://www.reefimages.com/Views/Views1.htm

They are like rocking horse poo

In other words, very very few people have them
They're also much harder to keep than the other varities

Try those links i sent you by pm. There is a guy called evilervin who's a bit of an expert
