A buddy of mine used to do a great imitation of them until the boss figured out we were directing it at him...

More pics of the same coral... First up is just the right side of the tank.


Here is about 2 hours after acclimation:


And the color of it with the 20K and act lighting. I really like the colors...

Very pretty coral. It'll only get better looking with time.

Mine's in QT (cough..cough) so the color is not as vibrant.

Thanks. It's one of my test pieces... Testing to see if I'm smart enough yet to keep SPS yet. I've sustained them, but never really grown them...

That is one of my next goals is to set up a qtank for corals... I need to get another light set up and I have no idea where I'm going to put it

Mine too. The lights are not on, but the polyps are out really far! we'll see what happens with the act come on.

And Statler and Waldorf are eating just about anything I put in the tank and are doing well!

Very true, but the first feeding didn't go well as they just spit stuff out... So I'm excited that now on day three they are pigs

That does make a crazy reefer lady! I've actually waited all these years for the popular cartoon to die-down so these are my first pair Can't wait for them to go in the display.

I cannot even describe her house. Last year's PSAS holiday party was at her place. She collects anemones and clowns...

Her 450:


Koi Pond:


Giant Nano:




She also has a 300+ lighted with a Solaris, and about 10 other small tanks for all of her collection.

Well from 2pm to 8pm tongiht, one of my clowns went from happy, eating etc.. to swimming circles, slamming into the glass, unable to control his swimbladder to getting stuck to the filter intake... He is now DOA... All parameters in the q-tank are fine and the other clown seems unaffected. I guess I'll keep a close eye on the other one...

On the brighter side, I just installed my moon lights as I was sick of the lights going out at midnight and not being able to see anything until I go to bed at 6am... So I have them set to come on from midnight to 2:30.

Hop, that sounds like a ruptured stomach from over eating....

how much did you feed them, and what were you feeding them?

They got a couple mysis and brine the other day... A tiny flake yesterday and a tad bit from a marine cuisine cube tonight. I'm really easy on the feeding since it's a small q-tank. So it really was just a tiny bit.

Mine died last year the same way . I guess I probably over feed the poor bugga, and I thought I was starvivng it.

Good luck with the other fish.

Cheers

Chris

Bax, I'm not sure but I guess it is a possability.

Chris: That is odd, I thought so too...
