Aussie Coral Pics [Lots]

[isjg]

There's been a lot of interest in Aussie corals recently. Mostly Acans and some Duncans. I thought I'd post some pics of some of mine. These are what I currently have in my tank -

Blastos -

SWEET blastos!

Any chance you could please post pics of them in my blasto thread just under this. I want to get as many morph pics as possible in the 1 thread.

Another Acan (I think. It might be Faviid). Bought it bleached a few weeks ago unsure of what it might turn out to be. It's just starting to colour up a bit and looks like it might be green -

And now for some that I used to have but died. Most after a topup failure while I was away overseas. Was also battling phosphates for a while which was causing major problems but now have that under control.

Platygyra sp. -

Well that's it. I hope it gives an idea of what Australian corals are available and we have in our tanks over here. Cheers.

[edwinn]

what kind of lighting do u use

[isjg]

Lighting is 2x54W 20K T5s and 2x150W 10K MH. Photos taken with Pentax Optio S60.

BTW, I also have zoanthids, rics etc but just posted the LPS since it's an LPS forum.

[skyhigh]

very sweet pics

[edwinn]

how big is your tank & dimension thx

[isjg]

Tank is 36"x14"x20" with a 2' sump.

[atzak]

I dig those yellow fungia's, got a full tank shot

[Reefghoul]

not only nice corals, but some nice pics as well...

[isjg]

The fungias are a lot more orange than how they appear there, the flash washes the colour out a bit. I don't have any recent full tank shots but I'll see if I can take some tonight.

[Serioussnaps]

I am not a horrible person and I would never steal, but your orange blastos are in serious jeapardy of disappearing! All kidding aside....that is one sweet color morph for sure.

[CombatVet]

Wow those are some nice pics
