Thanks!

I dont have another shot of that guy. I have some wierd viney algae that's trying to engulf the rock it's on. So, I put it back on my frag tray until I get it all cleaned up. Brian's seen it before, grows like Calaurpa, but is fine and delicate like like micro algae, and the only way I've found to remove it, as nothing will eat it, is to use the tweezers. I've finally cleaned it off all my rock work except 2 rocks. That second pic that your referring to is actually both pieces of the same coral, the one in the foreground is just older growth, while the one in the background is a new growth tip. Very similar to the German blue polyp acro though

I especially like the cap photo with the black background - that is one of my favorite coral photos.

Western_reefer · 03/06/2011, 08:24 PM

What kind of lights/bulbs do you run?

Justin74 · 03/07/2011, 11:38 AM

jcavanaugh18: Thanks! I see your in Cameron Park, in Eldorado terms, were damn near neighbors!~

We'll have to hook up some time for a tank viewing and exchange of notes

Westernreefer:
2 UVL superactinics
2 actinic+
1 pure actinic
1 Aquablue+

As you see I have a mix of blue and purple actinics, with one day bulb

Ah, so your using T-5s... thanks!!

Justin74 · 04/29/2011, 05:36 PM

Think these were the ones that started a little zoa itch in me, I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET!!

picked these up from TCF now Tropical Aquarium Specialties off Matherfield Rd.
Got this limey yellow guy there too:

thing is amazing..not sure the name though.

Bay area Booberry:

Candy Apple Reds from Ron:

mine own rainbow zoas havent officialized a name, even though it's been like 5 years,

think it's just because all the colors are virtually impossible to capture with my camera, but probably coolest out of them all :/
