Jean-yus · #5 05/12/2005, 09:49 PM

Crap, sorry meant to attach a pic. Yeah, what is this? It's beautiful!

Atlantis Aquarium's Cyphastrea ocellina frag. It's awesome, and grows fairly quickly.

Peace,

Chip

Well Chip, looks like you are on a nice road of recovery of fine corals. Love the way you named the pics, all I have to do is look at the properties to confirm what they are.

Is that favia going to stay that color or turn red?

Wonderful close ups.

that cyph grow ridiculously quick! i started out with a sliver a few months back and now have about a 50cent piece sized frag.

Thanks for the compliments!

It's supposed to be Atlantis' cherry red favia, but it seems to be more of a plum color with red centers. I like the color it's at now, and hope it doesn't change.

BTW, they seem to have removed this frag from their list. I wonder if they retired it...

Peace,

Chip

I've seen the parent cyphastrea colony up close and its a good size piece. Now I know where the chunk that came out of it went to

Nice pics Chip!

Jus Reefin · #12 05/13/2005, 03:50 PM

Thats because everyone and his brother aren't after them.

Jus Reefin · #14 05/13/2005, 05:09 PM

Well I am and I will tell my brother too

Narkon · #15 05/13/2005, 05:12 PM

hahahaha

I know, I was thinking that I need to go look it up now, see if they guy I am meeting tomorrow to do some major serious trading with might not have one.

Elite · #16 05/13/2005, 06:30 PM

Woww..... Pretty

yoshiod9 · #17 05/13/2005, 07:37 PM

rob, if youre willing to wait another few months i should have a decent sized frag ready to go. lmk!

marillion · #18 05/13/2005, 08:20 PM

Yoshi, is your frag the same as mine? If different, I'd be up for a trade around the end of the year, myself. I'm trying to locate some more morphs of it, as well.

Peace,

Chip

yoshiod9 · #19 05/13/2005, 08:46 PM

yeah, i have the same color morph as you...i had a different one as well...but this happened to it.

JenDub · #20 05/13/2005, 08:54 PM

marillion nice pieces....drool......

Yosh I love that pic....I hate that it happened but it is cool pic. I love stinger war tentacle thingy, (whatever the correct term for it is).
SEEK and DESTROY!!!

Marillion-
I have this frag also-Atlantis Aquarium's Cyphastrea ocellina frag-
What lighting,flow,and tank placement are you using?

AtlanticReef · #24 05/13/2005, 10:22 PM

Marillion,

Your corals are awesome....I might make a trade with you some day.

yoshiod9 · #25 05/13/2005, 10:41 PM

jen- yeah, it's an awesome photo(it took quite a bit of self constraint to go grab the camera rather than pull the corals off one another!)...but i'm still ****ed that it happened. damn turbo snails.

mar- yeah, i ended up losing the whole piece...after the acan attack(it was actually the cyphastreas fault...a turbo knocked it off it's glued down spot and it fell directly onto the acan) the cyph did well for a day or so and then i woke up the next morning and it was nothing but skeleton. =*( at least i have a picture to show how perty the piece was.
