A few new pics of my SPS

Green fuzzy acro




Closeup of the magnificent royal blue A.hoeksemai




Wild tiny colony of A.hyacinthus; notoriously hard to keep; but I got to try anyway




Beautiful A.loripes. This guy has lost its blue hue and turns to a nice purple instead. I love it either way




Bright blue Milli




This pink milli color has become deeper and deeper for me




Raspberry milli, pink/red color with green polyps




Gorgeous yellow milli with green polyps. I can stare at this guy all day long. The way its long polyps move with the wave is really mesmerizing




Blue-lipped A.tenuis




Blue green A.tenuis/vermiculata

I love the loripes......i just got 2 sweet maricultured ones from LiveAquaria.

loripes and granulosa's are some of the most beautiful sps IMO. but for some odd reason their glowing colors are hard to pick up in pictures.

I use three 250w DE MH Phoenix bulbs with icecap electronic ballasts and 4 39w T5 actinic bulbs for my tank (72x24deepx31high)

Most of the corals were bought online; but I do have some gems from the LFSs

A few more

Big colony of yellow deep water acro. This guy is so beautiful I had to buy it, knowing full well that large wild colonies usually don't do well. I am keeping my fingers crossed




Exquisitely colored bright blue A.millepora. This coral has been in my tank for a month and is doing very well, growing, deepening its color




The pic says it all. Radioactive green milli




Small frag of blue A.turaki, growing very well for a deepwater




Deep orange montipora digitada, very fast grower




One of my newest acquisitions, flowering organ pipe Tubipora musica. We'll see if it does well in my tank. I have been waiting for a good specimen in term of color and shape; and this guy just fell on my lap.

How deep is your sand bed? How old is your tank? Great corals and pics!
