Another new addition from CF. a mini flameback.... same size as my mini tang. two of the buddies together

The little tyrant.... really don't want to get this fella but my fall prey to my girl's "Pleasssse daddy, Pleassssssse....." I have lots of carbon, saltwater and polyfilter on standby.

all puffed up ...

small little Golden Cloves frag

hehe bro, these are blastos.. not zoas... Those you saw at Ced's place are zoas. take a trip to reef depot and see the size of their zoas in their display tank ... huge large polyps....

The chosen one by Siang ....... A greenish frogspawn with a few purple strands and a purple frogspawn with some greenish strands.

Aussie blasto. Particularly like the shape it sort of weaves out to be...

got some Reef Gourmet from Henry already. here we go all over again Still going to get the angels later.... hehe....

Yup. thanks for the heads up bro...

nice ! seeing fishes like this makes me yearn for a large tank....

Lol...... Pls don't take me for real .... Chill bro, just a hobby. Happy reefing ! Sent from my iPad2 using Tapatalk

Yeah I think so too...... Just check calcium is enough man...... Sweeeeeeee ! Can throw away my ph, mg and kh tester liao......... Sent from my iPad2 using Tapatalk

I think the owner as stressed as the corals...... 31 deg - I think they should be alright... keep us posted !

then bring breakfast too.... wahahahaha....... basket .... talk about food... now I hungry liao....... gotta makan....

bring supper over ........

well done bro. keep it up !

and have it done medium-well pls.. .. haha..... going to let it become a mix reef. I bought a frogspawn too. But forgot to charge my camera battery and it ran out of juice.... grrrrrrrr......

Thanks for the great gesture, Oniz ! Should I manage to set up a frag corner in the sump, will definitely give you a call .. hehe

Think this is another type of blasto. Does anyone have any idea the name of this coral?

The above is a Blastomussa Merletti. Below article taken from : http://www.thesea.or...sa_merletti.htm Blastomussa Merletti Origins It is not uncommon to hear the blastomussa merletti referred to as Pineapple Coral, Branched Cup Coral, or Blasto. In its natural environment, the blastomussa merletti can be spotted up and down the wide reefs of the Indo Pacific oceans. Physical Appearance of Blastomussa Merletti The polyps of the blastomussa merletti are extremely large and wide (up to 5" in diameter), and emerge from the body of the coral through individual tubular stems. These stems are not often seen, since the polyps sheer size cover them when opened to their full ability. The majority of blastomussa merlettis are usually red, green or brown in coloring. Blastomussa Merletti in Captivity LPS corals (Large Polyped Stony Corals, of which the blastomussa merletti is a form) are usually captured in the wild as they are generally unsuccessful to propagate in captivity. However, blastomussa merletti are an exception to this rule of thumb, and of the two species of blastomussa (wellsi and merletti), the blastomussa merletti is much easier to maintain in a home tank, since they will grow very quickly and easily given the right conditions. Home enthusiasts love watching blastomussa merlettis under the actnic lighting of an aquarium, as its neon centers light up in glowing shades of green. Take caution when adjusting the lighting of a reef tank, as blastomussa merlettis do not thrive under intense lighting conditions. Instead, the light should be adjusted to a dim or moderate level if at all possible. Blastomussa merletti will do best if placed at the bottom of a tank, with average water motion. If the lighting in the home tank is not ideal, the merletti will need to be moved to the middle of the tank where it can access the weaker lighting. Photosynthetic Nature of Blastomussa Merletti Many corals develop a symbiotic relationship with hard working algae- offering them a place to live in exchange for the energy they produce during photosynthesis. The blastomussa merletti is one of coral, keeping zooxanthellae underneath their surface that will allow them to survive without any supplemental food sources if necessary. The tentacles and polyps on a blastomussa merletti do work to snag and consume organic matters, or drag larger organisms through its sticky, mucus-lined flesh. If maintained in a reef aquarium, hobbyists have had success offering the blastomussa merletti small meaty portions of baby brine shrimp, fish, and squid. The portion sizes should be in line with the polyp's ability to fully ingest it. Propagating Blastomussa Merletti If the blastomussa merletti is attempted to propagate in a home environment, it must be done on healthy, mid sized colonies. The skeleton of the blastomussa merletti can be chipped off from the base into segments containing one or more polyps on each piece. Reproduction will continue asexually, as is practiced in the wild

kekeke... same as me........ that makes 2 cheapos in SRC ... haha.... looking forward to meeting you tomorrow Resser !

yup. will get a dosing pump later and drip FW into the sump to compensate for evaporation.

dislike the layering lah.... more water splashing and definitely more salt spray...,
