LR is just dead coral skeletons that we try to make something pretty with. It doesn't sound very cool when you put it that way Grow from the bodies of your dead ancestors in a glass box full of water and electricity! SPS are weird and creepy...Soft corals for everybody! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to be picking up corals at the Winter Frag sale in January? If so, I'll send one with my buddy who's setting up the frag tank. I will be hosting some friends from out of town so I won't be able to setup a frag tank and sell like usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BobcatReefer Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 On 12/22/2017 at 9:37 AM, FarmerTy said: I find this very interesting. There are two pieces of echinata on this frag plug. One was what survived of my colony when I moved. Its the very green encrusting piece. The other is a piece I got back from a buddy that was from my original colony. If you notice at the bottom of the bluer piece, you'll see that it has touched the greener piece and now that area is bluer but it still retains the green polyps. Its like grafting a piece of Hawkins echinata back to itself and seeing the slow transfer of color through the green piece. It'd be interesting to see when the green polyps go blue. You've forgotten more than I'll ever learn about corals, but I have a hard time believing those are both the same coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Caught my yellow flanked wrasse in full flashing display. This was the best I got of him. If you've ever seen a wrasses flash, then you should be impressed I even got this shot. They just dart back and forth like crazy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
