There's about 75# of figi live rock in it. http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...ankcropped.jpg corals: cup coral green tipped hairy mushrooms (2 colonies on either side of the tank) pipe organ green plate rose bubble tipped anemone fish: 1x maroon clown 1x yellow tang 3x green chromis 1x yellowtailed blue damsel 2x firefish goby 1x watchman goby (missing) 1x cleaner shrimp 1x scooter blenny ?x hermit crabs and assorted snails lighting is 192w of PC and 80w NO |

you know a tank that big with that many hiding places i would find the biggest maroon you can and put it in there and get a pair.
|
i had another one, but it met the powerhead one night fighting over the spot in the anemone :|

Thanks Bob,
The tentacles fluoresce too? Do you know what color? It looks like the centers would glow green. I like it. - Chad |
Looks like it could be Clove or Glove polyps (Clavularia sp.), or perhaps Waving Hand polyps (Anthellia sp.).
Doesn't really look like Tubipora musica ("Pipe Organ" or "Organ Pipe") to me... |
Well Tony I think you are correct. However, nomencature wise, I think since the tubes look like the pipes on a Pipe Organ, the coral should be called Organ Pipe, as there is a lot more to a Pipe Organ than just the pipes (my 2 cents). Upon close inspection, and comparing it with the actual Organ Pipe you so kindly gave me, I think the coral in the picture is not Organ Pipe. :rolleyes:
|
Well, it's only a guess on my part. But what makes me think "not organ pipe" is the feathery texture of the tentacles. BTW I don't know why, but "pipe organ" just seems to roll off the tongue a lot easier than "organ pipe" although I do agree with you that the latter makes more sense from a logical point of view.

Nice tank :cool: Chad Those look like clove polyps,mine glow orange under actinics.Nice coral,but you'll curse them after they over take the tank,sending stalks out to grow new colonies every where :biggrin: Harvey "infested" my tank with them! :razz: :mrgreen: |
thanks guys!
that coral was purchased as a pipe organ, but that was from petcetera..so who knows what it REALLY is... after looking up pics of a glove polyp coral, it could very well be that species. as for spreading, there are already 2 polyps on the sandbed below it starting to flourish...I read a "pipe organ can not spread like green star polyps" but if it's a glove polyp, it can? eeks. |
If you ever find that you have more than you want, PM me :biggrin:
- Chad |
I'm pretty sure it is a pipe organ. I have a couple in my tank too. The skeletal base (pipe's) are identical, but the polyp's are quite differant. The pictured one is identical to one I have. The other I have is the more commonly seen one.
