gibs Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Very cool Patrick! Is that sponges? OMG another reason to have a separate lagoon tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Looks really good. The sponges look great. Were you able to get the hood back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes, I got the light canopy back on. Thank you for the help. I moved the Sea Apple with rock attached. He is now roaming about. I liked him up against the Orange Tree Sponge and captured the picture. I am really happy with the results of enhancing the emphasis on filter feeders.

+KimP Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 That sea apple is just incredible and looks great. What is that branching coral in front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bottom left is Frogspawn skeleton with growth coming back to most of the branches. When Xenia and GSP died, so did Frogspawn. All is coming back except for the Xenia. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bige Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That sea apple is amazing. I'm gonna bring you some gsp but do you want xenia too? I have the pulsing kind and you welcome to it. It's a light pink maybe off white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a light pink maybe off white. I have recently got some Xenia from Grog. It looks like a variety I had from the Red Sea, silver/white. When I put it under the actinics, the white lite up. I would like to try the GSP that you have in both of my lagoon tanks: 75G on exterior poarch and 135G lagoon next to my DT. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsea Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 very cool patrick, ive always loved sea apples. gotta go check out your new stuff one of these days I really like the way Sea Apple feeds. He has numerous stalks extending from the main body. Each of these stalks has nurnerous branches with many smaller branches full of ultra fine feathers which capture zooplankton from the water. When I stir up the top inch of my dsb it cloulds the water with much detrius and bacteria. This is an organic buffet. As his feathers load up with this flock, he methodically puts the stalks into the mouth. As fast as it was inserted, it is removed as the next feeding stalk is coming into the mouth. I really enjoy this view into the world of filter feeders. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
