Aussie Coral Pics [Lots]

isjg · #1 06/28/2007, 10:56 PM

There's been a lot of interest in Aussie corals recently. Mostly Acans and some Duncans. I thought I'd post some pics of some of mine. These are what I currently have in my tank -

Blastos -

Some green Blastos and red Goniapora -

Another red Goni -

Some sort of Faviid. Not sure what but it's got some nice flouro streaks -

Scolymia -

SWEET blastos!

Any chance you could please post pics of them in my blasto thread just under this. I want to get as many morph pics as possible in the 1 thread.

Fungia (or possibly Cycloseris) -

Some sort of Faviid -

Lobophyllia sp -

Acan -

Another Acan (I think. It might be Faviid). Bought it bleached a few weeks ago unsure of what it might turn out to be. It's just starting to colour up a bit and looks like it might be green -

And now for some that I used to have but died. Most after a topup failure while I was away overseas. Was also battling phosphates for a while which was causing major problems but now have that under control.

Platygyra sp. -

Galaxea -

A. hillae (I think. Could be some other Mussid)

Another anchor -

Torch -

Last lot of ex-corals.

Some Acans -

Catalaphyllia -

Well that's it. I hope it gives an idea of what Australian corals are available and we have in our tanks over here. Cheers.

what kind of lighting do u use

isjg · #15 06/30/2007, 06:15 AM

Lighting is 2x54W 20K T5s and 2x150W 10K MH. Photos taken with Pentax Optio S60.

BTW, I also have zoanthids, rics etc but just posted the LPS since it's an LPS forum.

I dig those yellow fungia's, got a full tank shot

Reefghoul · #20 07/01/2007, 04:15 PM

not only nice corals, but some nice pics as well...

isjg · #21 07/01/2007, 06:16 PM

The fungias are a lot more orange than how they appear there, the flash washes the colour out a bit. I don't have any recent full tank shots but I'll see if I can take some tonight.

Serioussnaps · #22 07/02/2007, 08:42 AM

I am not a horrible person and I would never steal, but your orange blastos are in serious jeapardy of disappearing! All kidding aside....that is one sweet color morph for sure.
