Justin,
Oyster Feast or Oyster egg's ?

r3k2p 01/20/2011 11:53 PM

Very nice!!!

wright4941 01/20/2011 11:57 PM

Sweet! I love TCF by the way. Are the oyster eggs just for Sps?

gem 01/21/2011 12:51 AM

Lookin good Justin. Nice to see the RP growin out.

mpoletti 01/21/2011 07:03 AM

Nice Justin. The granny is looking sweet :eek1:

Justin74 01/21/2011 08:37 PM

Thanks Mark, hibernated for a year and nearly lost it before it fired back up :)

Sorry Paul, Oyster Feast :D

There for almost every coral and filter feeder, not just SPS, but one of the few foods small enough for SPS to consume.

Doug: Thanks dude~! That Valida in the group shot is the same one you gave me from way back :)

Gem: Mz Lipps looks about the same, 2 polyp since I split it and donated the other half to the Eco Station..Should come by some time and look at the difference since you last were there, I'd say everything's come around about 10 fold since then and looks pretty dang nice if I say so myself :)

-Justin

tfp 01/21/2011 11:53 PM

kevin95695 01/22/2011 08:58 AM

I will make it a point to stop by soon! They're lucky they have you there to whip that fish section in shape!

Brian Prestwood 01/22/2011 10:56 AM

Very nice Justin.

Is that your formosa front and center in the first pic?

Justin74 01/25/2011 11:36 AM

Thanks Kevin!

Hey Brian, yes, well, middle and center just above and behind the bright pink acro :) One of them anyway, I actually have 2 colonies of it, the one in the pic being the smaller. The reason for the 2, long story, but when I first aquired it from Tony and Maria back in the day off Dewey when they ran the fish store it was actually 2 stalks of formosa, but one was slightly greener than the other and the other was slightly more blue tipped than the other. Could be the same exact, or a slight color variant, but decided to grow out both seperately. The one in the pic grew out to a huge colony but after last years tank woes the one in the pic is whats left of the slightly bluer variant, the other not pictured is about the size of an encrusted cantelope :cool:

aakinego 01/25/2011 06:37 PM

Underwaterparadise 01/25/2011 09:58 PM

Looking good bro. I love that green eye Favia hiding in the back ground! I'm going to try and visit the Eco Station in the next month or so. It's on our "Family" to do list.

Brian Prestwood 01/26/2011 09:15 AM

You still using that Sony?

CJ 1098 01/27/2011 01:41 AM

Very Nice Justin!

Justin74 01/27/2011 08:27 PM

really coming along nicely coloration is similar to Pam's purple tip, but with contrasting white polyps along the stalks. Great piece from Aquatic Collection, among others..

Mine own Arctic Berry, with Sam's Ice blue lep and mine own Grape Ape lep underneath :)

Probably the best shot in the bunch right here:

acro with blue tips aquired from Kev, but he nor I are sure of it's lineage, the green tipped acro is my formosa that many of you have :)
