Laura Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey Russell, I believe the 4th photo is cespitularia, as I have some of this also. I paid a pretty penny for it...I was told that a couple of years ago, this was the "in" coral. I just like the color The dendros are awesome... See you sooon, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420reefn_it Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i believe that macro is red grape caulerpa, there is mixed opinions on that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razor Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 This may be a dumb question but is your camera inside the tank? These pictures are crystal clear and they look very good. I have a water proof case for my sony camera so I can take it diving with me. I may try putting in the tank and checking the picture quality and getting use to the adjustments.

Hamp Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 nice pics, #1 looks like a hydnopora(sp?) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzobob Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks everyone. Caulerpa seems likely given the risks once it grows out I'll keep it pretty well trimmed. Hamp, I think you're right, I had tentatively identified it last week as Hydnophora after seeing a posting on the DFW board. Shawn, not a dumb question at all. I'm using a Sea & Sea point and shoot which I've had a lot more luck with than my land camera. At some point I'll get around to posting some pictures taken this summer in Bonaire.

JamesL Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 This: looks like colt coral. I had gotten some RCA, and it grow pretty fast. It also self-propogates, and I have about 5 little pieces attaching themselves around my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
