Other Corals
Purple Gorgonian Frag


ORA Bird of Paradise

Lobo


Ricordia

Christmas Tree Worm / Porites


Blastomussa

Mushroom Leather



This is cool piece - had bought a rutty looking rock with a few zoas on it from the frag tank at NAFB - turned out it was a living clam!


Acan


Xenia - not doing particularly well


Lobo


Not sure what this is - either Alvapora or Geniopora I think

Thanks for sharing the great pics. I can't believe how clear some of the pictures turned out. You definately can't tell you were shooting through glass and some of the pictures don't even look like they are under water!

Nice looking collection of sun corals as well. Any tips/tricks on keeping them happy and healhty?

Shoot perpendicular to the glass and use a macro lense - this eliminates any distortion.

As for the Sun Corals - i have a routine where I feed with blood worms and brine alternatively. I wait until the main lights go out (which is 10pm for me) and feed. The fish will leave the food alone that way (asleep or in their little caves). I use "julian's thing" for the brine and a small turkey baster for the blood worms. I direct food into the heads. The Tubastrea don't need a lot of precision in feeding but with the dendro you do need to make sure the each head gets fed. Right now i feed every other day.

When you get them I would really recommend a daily feeding regiment because they are usually in bad shape at the LFS.

Otherwise they are pretty easy to keep and very forgiving as far as water parameters.
