i'm really sorry to disappoint you guys man... cyna from kim sotong alright... but it ain't that red piece... price is indigestible...

went for another green one instead (price difference is almost 5X!)

and i'm trying for another true "sotong" coral... smaller this time, this time round, i'm treating it with lotsa respect! am giving it medium lighting and flow for now... hopefully this one can make it... if this fails... that's it... no more true octo.

no pix yet... coz the one i took last night was blurry... and tonight going for my another hobby.

got headlights too wor... i've added one more pair of LED as additional headlights... so it's super bright...

but didn't really enjoy myself tonight... modded the car, supposed to be better, but it's swinging out of control... boring.

need more more more practise...

A 2-mouth yuma...

Not sure, but i was told by some reefer that it's not normal for yuma to have 2 mouths, as this is not the way they 'propogate'...

hmm...

issit true?

i have the exact same yuma with 3 mouths. the exact same one. lol. i dunno leh it has been 3 mouthed for like dam long liao....

i also have some 2 mouthed rhodactis. some stayed this way for long long times, while some split into 2. recently my yumas and rhos hav been splitting alot. some with 2 and 3 mouths. i think they do tend to split more when they hav more than 1 mouth.

i also wish to see some of my mushies split... but dunno if that's me... but i often see 'small' polyps growing out, and not splitting of the polyps...

eh lemon... my xenia still not pumping... any clue?? finally got myself a PH meter - it reads: 8.2

actually. why the xenia pumps or not is a mystery leh. no one knows yet. some say to get better water flow tru the polyps, some say to absorb nutrients, etc etc. there are many xenias that do not pulse but still continue to grow. if they dont pulse it doesnt mean they are unhealthy. its actually very normal for a xenia to not pulse....

but some of the things that xenia likes are Ph of lowest 8.3, and low to moderate flow. they pulse best in very minimal water movement. regular iodine dosage. sometimes they can one day just start pulsing one. but watch ur Ph also. some ppl keep up up up their Ph to get the xenia to pulse and in the end never take note and crash everything. i have seen xenias pumping in ph of 8 also. but they prefer 8.3 ish.

also, the best best best candidate for pumping is xenia umbletta from red sea. the polyps are very big. very similar to a clove polyp, but pumping. this species pumps the best. what we are getting now is the pom pom xenias and the normal xenia elongata. although they also pump, i think they are less prone to pump if compared to the umbeletta from red sea. hav not seen the red sea xenias in singapore leh T.T dunnno if they got import but i never see, or never import at all.

that one is a true beauty. the same one i show u in a video the last time. anyway, my xenias have started pumping although quite weakly. no choice the current there quite strong. no other place liao... the other one is not pumping at all though. regardless of the pumping, i think white xenias look really pure and very beautiful. i would enjoy it wether it pulses or not (:

[wilsontantw]

you know what... i'm truly impressed by your knowledge despite your age!

now... i think it's time i do some research on how to push up pH... haha...

thanks a lot bro.
