Cat Eye Coral & Bubble Coral

[ah_d3x]

pls.. help~

[euphoria]

not too sure too...where did you see them?

I heard the colour a bit different

[DeepBlue]

cats eye coral (cynarina lacrymalis) - a lone polyp with a single corallite. One of the largest single-polyped corals in nature. Circular or oval

attached pic shows a cats eye...

Bubble corals (Plerogyra)

The common ones you see at LFS....

[IcecruncherZ]

If I'm not wrong, Cat Eye is merely the type of bubble coral with significantly larger bubbles, like 1cm in size.

The other type of bubble coral is the pearl bubble. It has much smaller bubbles. Do a search on both to see the difference.

Cheers~

if I am not wrong, he asked for cats eye coral....not cats eye bubble

check out eric borneman's aquarium corals...

[ah_d3x]

SCREAMS... the shop at B***t T***h is the crappiest shop in S'pore. They have no idea what they are saying or doing.

On multiple accounts, i saw Newbies purchasing a Mini tank, salt mix, FISHES and CORALS at a go, ie no cycling, no nothing and that was before Nemo.

My favourite was this qns I asked. "auntie ah, (pointing to Blue Lined Butterfly, obligate coral eater) easy to keep or not har?"

Response "Hen Rong Yi! Butterfly very very easy! Everything also eat one!"

I walked out in disgust.

[marvellous07]

the luminous green is gorgeous...
