Please post pics of your "ultra" LPS corals! Please post the genus of your coral as well as the name of the color morph if it has one. It would be great if people could also post credits to the vendors! :D

Please keep chatter to a minimum and for the love of LPS, please do not photo quote!!

Particularly colorful? Wonderfully drool worthy? Something I would really want to put in my tank? Translate however you want... that's why I put "ultra" in quotations. ;) Just looking for a thread I can visit and stare in wonder and awe at the pics. Hehehehe.... :lol:

Why did you have to photo quote RuGlu??? Wreaks the thread... :(

Left click photo, hit "delete" button (not backspace). That way you can quote the words in the message without quoting the photo. :)

RuGlu, seeing the same photo over again isn't fun. It's nice to see NEW photos! Don't mean to take the fun out of it, but it makes for a better thread. :) I don't mind "Mouth Bleeding Apple". :lol:

Oh nice Darryl! I have a mini colony of the Dragon Soul "Favia" too. I don't think it is a Favia (I think Goniastrea), but it seems to be commonly called Favia. I also have a small frag of the last one you posted which Fragalot calls "Aussie Nuclear Favia"...I wanted a bigger piece, but it was all fragged up already. :( Yours are nice size! *jealous*

here's a tracha....something...


quick question for all the lps pros - i feed it a few times a week but i have noticed the color has gone from a deep red to almost a transluecent pinky red. I have it in a shallow tank with an 8 bulb ATI sunpower over it. Do you think i am probably bleaching it or over feeding it?


this is what it looked like when i first got it -

thanks guys!

Lightening of corals is caused by not enough food and/or too much light....just the opposite of brown corals which indicate too much nutrient (NO3/PO4) and/or not enough light.

Corals may get lighter once in your tank and it may be just as healthy or even more healthy but you have to watch and make sure that they are still happy, growing and not going too far down the path to bleaching. Bascially if you like it pink rather than red and the brain seems to not be getting lighter and lighter and is happy ....no problem.

Ideally but to entice them place a little food on top of them at night. Most LPS should be fed regularly for long term health, but spot feeding can become less important as a tank becomes established and populates with zoo-plankton among other things.

The Digi is in a good place to take topdowns and holds the corals in place. I believe it is a forest fire digi. Both those were bought as small colonies. The Sponge Bob was found in a local LFS. It was sitting in there tank for a month or so. It looked all green under there lighting.

Blastomussa, Coralmaster

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/delphinus_photos/280g%20Reef/DSC_0009.jpg
Blastomussa sp. or maybe Micromussa sp. ... don't remember where it came from. Had it for years now. Probably Gold Aquariums, but possible Ocean City or Elite Aquatics (now defunct)

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/delphinus_photos/280g%20Reef/DSC_0010-1.jpg
Lobophylla sp., Big Als Calgary

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/delphinus_photos/280g%20Reef/DSC_0005.jpg
Blastomussa sp. - again too long ago to remember for sure where it came from .. but I think it was Ocean City.

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/delphinus_photos/280g%20Reef/DSC_0006.jpg
Blastomussa sp. - not 100% but think Ocean City again on this one.

Have a couple others to post in here at some point but haven't managed good photos of them yet. :( Still trying..

Species or hobby name? If you are talking hobby name than it's a wild and has none. I think a coral should be propagated and passed around a little before giving it a fun name. It does however look similar to one in the states called "widowmaker". Although the colours are a bit different.

The funny thing about those types of chalices is that the pigment of red must have travelled from another coral during close combat. I had 2 corals obtain blue pigments when they were in close proximity to my blue tort.

Very interesting stuff.

No I made it.
Its a collection of various types of Aussie acans from various orders over time.
They were originally stuck together but have long since fuzed into one solid piece. That crazy orange one overhung a ledge a bit and has actually grown polyps on the underside of the colony too.

^ That is not a Trachyphyllia. Trach are Open Brains. You either have a Closed Brain coral from the Faviidae family or maybe even Acanthastrea sp. Would need a picture of it all puffed up once it settles in to ID for sure.

09-03-2012, 02:56 PM
You may be right. I was skeptical about it being a Trachy. It is definitely not an acan though and I really don't think it is a favia either though. I will take a top-down shot to show more of the open areas of the coral. I would love to have an ID of it though.

Got an ID on it. It is a Symphyllia wilsoni. http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0362/view# (http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0362/view#)

I totally didn't see them till I got home so I consider it luck but there's about 7-8 polyps of some pretty intense looking blue hornets. Only problem is they are grown directly onto the chalices growth ring so there is no place for them to grow & I doubt I can frag them :sad:.

The Pièce de résistance of my LPS collection: My Aussie Ultra Rainbow Acan Lord 26 polyp mini-colony!


My camera, lighting and photography skill s*x so I brought this acan over to my friend March's place (marc3lo19) and he photographed it for me using his dslr under his full spectrum lights.

Photo taken by March:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WKrEQ6YWsTU/UHrJx1hQ9xI/AAAAAAAAA6g/EouMRMFFDJw/s800/IMG_7899.jpg

No photo editing was done at all. I watched as it took March only about 5 minutes to take the pictures, transfer them to his computer, convert to jpeg and email them out to me. What took longer was waiting for the acan to adequately open up/ inflate in his tank. That took around 30 minutes.


For comparison the pictures below are taken with my old point and shoot camera in my 40B mix display macro algae and coral tank.

I spot lit the acan with my all actinic par38 bulb to show what it looks like under actinics:

Thanks! I'll post some pics once my tank's in a better looking state. Currently dealing with an infestation of flatworms and pyramid snails. :eek: Had no idea where the pyramid snails came from and only started noticing them after they killed off 15 of my black foot trochus snails - ugh. Finally found a shell of a common clam underneath one of my blasto colonies - I guess that's where the pyramid snails hitchhiked on. So now my tank's infested with nuisance algae, flatworms and pyramid snails. Just dandy.
:laluot_21: :laluot_08:


No clams and normal snails have been dead/ taken out 2 weeks now so there isn't any / much source of food left for the pyramid snails and about to use flatworm exit so tank should be back to normal in about 2 weeks or so. I don't think the colors of the blastos will change much; just look more 'fleshy' I suppose. Back to war on these little pests!

Now an Absolute Stunner!!! Something that I have only seen on the internet.... No, its not mine (I wish it is! Lol), this amazing piece (approx.8") belongs to a fellow Canreefer, jjntm. Not sure if he has posted it but I just can't resist to show it off to you guys. I was there for zoa frags but spent most of the time staring at this beauty! Haaha! I'm just glad to see it in person! :)

Okay these are my babies, they may not be rare or special but I love em!

Still cant get the colour quite right, oh well. Also my first attempt at top down shots.... Nothing special between the water and the camera, dipped the edge of the lense in the water just a few times... oops!

Yes, should we ban him? :razz: It's like the guy who shows up at the Miata show with a Ferarri.

I kid, I kid. Sort of :razz: Though, you will be forgiven if you send me a frag of one of them chalices. PM me for address.

But in all seriousness: I don't think chalices of that quality have even touched the West Coast. I think the closest we get is when they fly over our heads to Alberta and Ontario. Someone out here needs to step up their game...

Seriously Hydrologist, you are making other Canreefers feel bad.:cry: but I placate myself with the fact all you have is that P. Geo. stamp and gorgeous corals when we have ordinary tanks but more envious P. Bio. stamps. :razz:
