Although the more I think about it, the more I am thinking frogspawn isnt a softie....is it?

Very nice guys! Maybe a few Yellow Leathers will be posted as well, or various versions of green star polyps. I'll see if I can take a few pictures of my neon star polyps tomorrow.

And no, Frogspawn is an LPS and thus does not fit this category.

Here is my unknown leather about two months after I got it. It has tripled+ since then

It kinda looks like yours Pat. Do you know what type it is?

CaptainCoral · #38 03/01/2006, 12:56 AM

pics are about a year old, but not much has changed.

I'm a better photagrapher now, I should shoot some new pics.

BIGSKY · #39 03/01/2006, 11:54 AM

Just taken...My tank is about 7 months old.

Olipug,

Shut down your pumps prior to shooting and you won't have all of that 'marine snow' floating around in your photo's.

Here is probably my favorite softie.

It is real, and only PS'd for white balance.My Fuji S3000 can't handle blue well in tanks, and I usually use flash. This was no flash and came out quite trueto life. To my eyes this is how that coral looks. No name for it. It is yet unidentified. I think it is known as mystery coral #31. Go figure. It is in "A Quick reference guide" by Julian sprung (page 149). It is awesome. Fast spreader. Very hardy. Unbelievable color combo. Everyone of my friends wants it. I have so far hogged it all to myself

but as it goes so fast I will probably frag it here and there. I recently changed out the carbon and started using purigen. My water got so clear it smoked my shrooms. Almost a 60% loss there. However, this stuff gets better and better. I swear it put out 40 polyps in the last three weeks since doing that and the eyes have gotten ten times brighter, while the lobes of the polyp are getting more feathery in appearance. Very dramatic change, and I have had it for 2.5 months.
