I pretty much favor encrusting monti's, but this lokani is awesome. Can't wait for it to be a colony.

Sand Dollar,

You are doing an excellent job on coloring the lokani.

Wow there sure are some nice pieces around. How can I convince the wife of a needed upgarde from a 240 which is drilled thru the floor, so I can knock down a wall and use up more space that we don't have???

The kids really don't need to play do they?

Man, I love this picture threads, so many beautiful corals to see..

Just got top down box from melev and took some quick shots, this are not necessarily my favorite corals but they do have potential. First, a colony that I grew from a frag that I was able to save in the RTN event.It rebounded well and grew very quickly.

And this one is A.insignis that I think has great potential to be one of my favorites, but is way ahead from now.

And last one, A.tenuis that I know has bugs in it,lost most of its coloration but has great polyp extension.

Hey, Rafael, here's my lokani from you:

mortenN · 02/02/2005, 11:54 AM

Mark, sweet (old) nightpic, do you have a pic under MH?

FragGuy · 02/02/2005, 12:45 PM

Arthur,

Wow! How did you get all that blue out of it?
What lighting and placement is it under?

This coral never fails to amaze me, in how well it colors up under everything from VHOs to 400MH. It's always a different hue from Blue to red and every mixture of the two in between. Mostly forming purples. Along with my desalwii they are my favorite acro in my current collection.

Glad you liked it.

Rafael

boobookitty · 02/02/2005, 12:48 PM

Hi, Rafael...

It's about 15" below a 400W Radium. Lightened quite a bit when I first got it, but recovered its color quite nicely.

I also love the desalwii:

They're all at

You'll probably recognize quite a few.

Coooool Arthur. I see some familiar faces on the site. Thanks.

Sorry, Garrett, I have the mommy were that one came from:

See the resemblance?

Rafael,

I was just joking about that

Mine is actually a wild colony from bali, that appears to have been growing on a vertical ledge. I have not given any frags out because it has been growing soooo slow. It started to STN a few months ago but appears to be making a wonderfull recovery, and the new growth is even brighter than before.

FragGuy · 02/02/2005, 01:18 PM

I knew that Garrett, just joking back with you.

Is your picture up-side down?

joetbs · 02/02/2005, 01:35 PM

Here's a new coral I got that is quickly becoming my favorite. Not the best pic, but the growth pattern is awesome.

boobookitty · 02/02/2005, 06:26 PM

Hey, Rafael...

One other frag: this is what it looked like when I got it from you (out of focus

):

And this is it about a month later:

Do you have a picture of the main colony?

Arthur

Sand Dollar · 02/02/2005, 07:07 PM

Hey Rafael,

I love that lokani...one of the best colorations i've seen. The base is just starting to get established now...can't wait for some more vertical and horizontal growth. What's your growth rate like under your different lighting schemes...vho vs MH?
