Macros - gotta love 'em.











Look at this shot. Those spikes that come out from within the coral during feedings are actually attached to the section of tissue each bubble is upon. For some reason I figured they came out of the core.

I think that your first pic of the bubble coral is by far the best.

I have to tell you though, the rest seem just the tiniest touch blurry.

That isn't a frogspawn, it is a type of bubble coral I've not seen before.

It is around 3 to 4" wide. When I bought it, I thought it looked like a giant ricordia. Here's a picture from last November.

Tough crowd, lol. Awesome pictures Marc. I love that teal green color (1st & 2nd shots)

I have a big relative of your bubble! I always joked about it not being able to decide if it was a pink bubble or a green bubble. Here's a couple of shots that also show the "bubble tails". Cool stuff!!

aztbs - great shots! What size are those bubbles? The one I have they are maybe 1/4" to 3/8" in diameter.

ataylo13 - Those are two different colored Pocillopora.

Thanks! The bubbles stretch out really big and poofy. Easily some bubbles are 1/2 - 5/8 inches. It is a lot more colorful when the bubbles are not stretched out so far, I love the way yours looks. Maybe it is flow.

Everything stretches to enormous puffed up sizes in my tank, check out the crazy bubbles on this yuma!!

Do you mean the very first picture of this thread? That is pocillopora.

The most recent pictures are of Montipora capricornis.
