FarmerTy Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 But back to my #1 love, acropora. I give you the RCA Baton Rouge! Even that starfish wants a piece of it. He's trying to sneak up on it and grab it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHula Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Nah that starfish is just chillin' admiring the view. Cool looking gonioporas, do you plan on placing them close to each other and creating that garden type look? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool looking gonioporas, do you plan on placing them close to each other and creating that garden type look? I'm not really sure yet but the thought did occur to me. I've always appreciated the flowiness of the gonis to offset the lack of movement from the SPS so I may disperse them around the tank as well.

FarmerTy Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Guess who's encrusting? My aussie echinata, that's who! I gave him a respectable spot front and center. Epic photobomb from my emperor while I was taking a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OU12004 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Those are really nice. I have tried 4 of them over the last few years and they all faded and died. What are you planning on feeding them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 The person I got them from had good growth from these guys without feeding so that's why I pulled the trigger. I do feed my tank a ton so I'd imagine there will be a lot of suspended food that they may get. I also feed a micro food about 2x/week (reef chili and coral frenzy) so that should hopefully help too. We will find out. I had one last about a year in my last tank but it was a wild one from AquaSD. Hopefully these aquacultered one's have a better success rate.

BornToHula Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Those goni's are lookin' great! Any fear the Emperor will use them as a snack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Those goni's are lookin' great! Any fear the Emperor will use them as a snack? There's always a fear! But he's left the goniopora in my tank alone this whole time so hopefully he doesn't think his cousin's are tasty... or at least ex-cousins.

FarmerTy Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Some pics I took for fun tonight. That RCA Baton Rouge Tort is coloring up nicely! Can anybody spot the ice fire echinata? [emoji12] No idea what this is but the subtle colors are mesmerizing to me. What better backdrop than a Colorado Sunburst anemone behind a Pearlberry colony? You got me. It's just pretty.

FarmerTy Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I finally moved my powder blue tang, purple tang, and flame angel into the main tank. Here's my whole fish population, minus anthias towards the beginning of next year.Yes, I've used that background music before but it's just plain awesome so I had to use it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Aussie echinata! RCA had a gorgeous colony they are fragging right now! Who wants to make bets on how long this frag will live in captivity?Oh man, woke up this morning to some odd RTN in a couple random frags in the sump. All parameters check out but its making me nervous. I'm sure it has to do with my CaRX effluent flow issues but that isn't helping me sleep at night.Saw a little STN but nothing serious in the DT. I cut the ice fire echinata in half because I noticed a little STN on its base. I glued the offending STN and placed that bottom piece in another portion of the tank and the healthy top half I reglued back in place. I hope you placed your bets on 3 months or less on the ice fire echinata Gig'em. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
