The warbird looks awesome... The Floyd looks soooooooo different did you get it from Bae? I would LOVE to see the others also... GO BUY a camera with a good Macro... Just go do it now... The children really do not need to eat as much as they do...
OH and Yes I agree that Jen and Charles are great.. the frags I received from them on Friday are enormous wow! I cant wait to them them start to "Fluff" up
Miguel at Fraggle Reef is also great to deal with and very generous

I have a few pictures in my gallery of some of the micros/lords but they do not look that good. If I knew how to take some decent pictures I would be able to join in on the fun.
I also have the Pink Floyd from Michael B. which looks like yours doctor4776.

They are under 2 250 watt 20K coralvue bulbs, driven with a PFO HQI ballast, a 400 watt 10K Reeflux driven with a Blueline E-ballast, and 4 VHO 110W bulbs, 3 actinic, 1 50/50 over a 4 foot tank.
Most of the pics are taken with all the lights on, top down.

Hey,
I don't know if it has a name, but I got it from a guy that was selling Micros at MACNA, in Washington DC this past September.
It's more red than Orange, but it's still a nice piece. It's the only colony size Micro or Acan I've ever purchased.

just curious, what are typical care conditions to make these corals grow at the fast ( for lps) rates that you guys get? I'm mostly an sps guy but i got one lord last year that bleached totally white at first & has now regained all it's color, but doesn't grow lol. I run 2 x 250 xm 10k, mr2 skimmer, reactor, nothing wrong with the tank becasue sps are doing very well. i was feeding it 4x a week for several months but stopped because it kept eating and eating but never grew.

The micros definitly grow faster than the acans! soo much faster. I feed my micro colonies Cyclopeeze twice weekly and SOME of the colonies can double every 3-4 months or better. I bet the acan that you cant get to grow is one of the non-indos that you want to grow sooo badly LOL seems like the non-indos actually grow slower... has anyone else seen this?
Bottom line though... If you feed your micros they grow amazingly fast.

I've noticed that there is momentum with coral growth. If something interrupts that momentum, like bleaching, rtn, or other stress issues, the coral will switch out of it's growth mode and into the survival mode. You don't see a lot of growth in the survival mode, and it can take a long time and a lot of care for the coral to come out of that mode.
I have a few Acanthastrea lords that I'm watching for a friend. At one point, these corals were doubling the polyp count every month. After a couple years of crazy growth, the corals were put though some heavy stress. Some of the polyps were hanging off the skeleton. He put them in my care to save them. It's been about 4 months and they are looking better, but no growth. I would not expect to see growth out of them for a while, after what they went through.

All Delight
08/24/2006, 05:46 PM
Those pink, green, and yellow ones is are brighter then Miguels Angel Eyes. No offense to Miguels. His are nice too, and I've seen them in person. These are alot brighter.
The ones that got stung haven't completely recovered. The orange used to be red. When I first got them they were red and green. But I only have them for a bout a week then they got stung. I've been trying to bring them back for a couple of months now.
All Delight
08/24/2006, 05:47 PM
I wanted to buy some of Miguels, but he didn't want to sell any last time I was there.
I'd still buy a frag from him. He told me to wait a couple of months.

That is weird. I wonder if he's getting out of the hobby. When I was talking to him before he was pretty devestated about his tank crashing, but seemed optimistic about getting a new tank up. In fact he was cycling a tank a coupld of weeks ago.

Ok so I bought this piece from a friend.... I love it but really have to ask our gurus about an ID question...
It was sold to me as a "nonindo Acan" I'll buy that thought OK except that the polyps are very small... 5mm to 7mm and also the skeletal structure is small... if I had not been told acan I would think micromussa (non indo)... actually, I may even stick with that Idea...
EXCEPT... All of my micros LOVE Light... as much as I can throw at them... when I first got this piece I placed it with my micros and it appeared to "Bleach Out" yeilding some amazing pictures but it appears to be much more healthy now that I have moved it to lower quarters. More Acan like in behavior...

Theres alot of blue in the t-5's i have up, I am losing them today and putting my halides back up. They do get some cool colors, But almost impossable to capture the true color.
BTW the capin promised me some a long time ago.

When did you get that from Anthony? Just curious, I used to go there all the time, but I haven't been there in probably 2 months now.
Fliger
09/26/2006, 12:48 PM
Thats a nice one fish2223, I got one that looks just like that from Anthony a year ago. I remember because when I bought the micros and dendros, he was trying to unload most of his collection before he was off to MACNA. He had a few frags of it, I guess mine is about 30-40 polyps now. Its is a really beautiful colony. I posted a pic a few days ago but my website is down.

Dennis, I'm green! Your corals always look so nice!!!
I cut my prop tank skimmer down to a g1x, I'd love to eventually get rid of it and go skimmerless but everytime I try the red slime pops up. Any tips?

09/26/2006, 04:36 PM
Charles-
I am experiencing red slime myself - less feeding and more water changes
should kill the slime. Dennis
JenDub
09/27/2006, 04:36 AM
Same for me, I'll turn off the skimmer and in a few weeks there is a little slime on the substrate. Then I turn it back on and it goes away. You're right, probably from excess foodstuffs in the water.

Beautiful frags Mako. And a thanks to Doctor - from whom I received several frags from this week - very awesome! I couldn't be happier.
This one has done really well for me in the past few months, had him for a long time but since I've been feeding him a lot recently - he's really puffed out.

I don't know about you guys, but its so hard to tell the difference between a Micro and a Lord. Some things that I've bought as micros look more like lords and some things that I've bought as lords look like micros! The Captive Reef lists a bunch as lords and only a few as micros. I have a few of theirs, and I also bought the snipersps micro. But some micros that I have like Ind Day are bigger. The polyp structure can be radically different with inflated or not inflated.
BTW beautiful pix Hugo. I really love the "snipersps micro" that I just got!
