Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 25, 2009 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted November 25, 2009 sch finish 12pm today. so early to be going home to study, so decided to drop by GO for awhile. got myself 2 very nice GSP. Bottom left of my tank has a barebottom spot due to the strong wave movement blasting away the sand there. hoping the GSP will grow onto it and make a nice carpet grass effect . i believe this particular species is called skin polyps... picture taken 5 mins after introduction. not opening yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 25, 2009 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted November 25, 2009 feeding frenzy! haha. all fishes chiong there pulling chunks off the prawn. my overgrown yellow wrasse took most of it off with his fangs.. even the shy and reserved pencil wrasse joined in the fun too! and look at how FAT the rhomboid is!! prawn was completely devoured in 5 minutes :/ what a great sight. like sharks circling a poor helpless...well in this case, prawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackywongto Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 just realised duncan coral grew 3 new baby heads. very small can only see at night when the coral is not open. no wonder i didnt realise it in the day take picture with flash since its night time. but still cant see clearly guess calcium level is good enuf for them to grow wahaha read that duncan can multiply very fast.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 25, 2009 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted November 25, 2009 just found something very very very RARE growing in my tank!!! was looking for any new sun coral babies after they spawned few weeks ago, and i came across this. at first glance though it was a batch of sun coral babies, but on closer look, i realise they are CORYNACTIS. these guys sprouted out of nowhere, because i did not notice them before. henry's tank has 2 big ones, same family but i think mine looks abit different. anyhow, they are still very small. these guys require feeding, like sun corals. i dunno how i am going to feed them since they are in such an awkward position. hopefully they are getting their fare share of henry's gourmet, well, they have been growing and surviving thus far. shoudl be ok. haha. think these guys will grow up to be pink corynactis. can see some traces of pink on their skeleton.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 25, 2009 Author Senior Reefer Share Posted November 25, 2009 able to maintain colour ? hi bro amby. these are blue anthellias right? seen them alot of times at CF and ahbeng. i think comparitive to xenia, anthellias are alot harder. but still easy with the right conditions. regarding the maintenance of colour, im not sure. have not tried this species yet. but i dont think it will be easy. already maintaining the pure white on my xenia is challenging enough, let alone blue ._. if im not wrong, the blue anthellias will fade to grey and eventually remain greyish or brown. should try them one of these days to see if the colour can hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
