Nice . It's always fun getting new corals. What type is the green one (soft, LPS, SPS)?

 

[Darylb]

It is fun getting them my wallet has other thoughts in that tho haha I got a feeling it might be SPS I think it's a green stylo

 

[obscurereef]

Oh very nice choice. I have a pink and purple one and really like them.

 

[Darylb]

Yea they look awesome they only had 2 left so I grabbed the small one I like this store they actually drip acclimate all there fish and gave me a sheet on proper acclimation I'm there that often that I get almost everything discounted

 

[obscurereef]

Oh awesome. I don't know if it's a small store, but with the less known stores they're more negotiable which is great .

 

[Darylb]

Yea it's a pretty big store they have over 100 tanks displayed and there the empty ones there are about 50-60 tanks with fish in them

 

[Darylb]

Can you show me a pic of your stylo so I can see if they look the same?

 

[obscurereef]

Oh dang! Not so small then. If they're not using half, I'll take them

 

[obscurereef]

Can you show me a pic of your stylo so I can see if they look the same?

Sure. It might take a while to upload them from my camera to photobucket then here, but it's way better than crappy ipod pics.

 

[Darylb]

Haha they got some cheap plain tanks for sale I'm thinking about getting one for a new reef there 20 gal tanks

 

[Darylb]

Yea I only use my iPhone its crap

 

[obscurereef]

Well I'm just using a $200 canon, but to get the actual color/detail, a $2000 would be best. Weird how my camera is a day behind, but I took this just 5 minutes ago.

Also known as Cat's Paw. Closed up a bit today for some reason.

Not doing too well since it's fell into the sand twice. But it's always recovered fine.

 

[Darylb]

Hmm maybe mine isn't that mine is just a green ball sorta thing

 

[obscurereef]

But you're pretty sure it's SPS? Hmm..ball thing..I'm only thinking LPS

 

[Darylb]

It hasn't opened up yet but this is it and also could u give me an I'd on my other coral it has been bent over like that since I got it from the shop

 

[obscurereef]

Oh yeah pretty sure that's LPS. Not sure what type though. Does it open up more? The one on the right is a carnation coral. Hard to keep alive since they're non-photosynthetic. I have one that's still alive, but not doing too well. They require supreme water quality and phytoplankton, rotifers, or any small foods for nps corals.

 

[obscurereef]

Ohh yeah that's lps I'm pretty sure, but don't know what kind. Does it open up more? The one on the right is a carnation coral. They're hard to keep alive since they're non-photosynthetic. I have one and it's still alive, but not doing to well. They require supreme water quality and phytoplankton, rotifers, etc.

Edit: delayed post...ignore this one

 

[Darylb]

All good so feeding it brine shrimp wouldn't keep it alive? It says on live aquaria that it need live brine shrimp and low light with high flow :/ might have to re home it it says it's for experts only

 

[Darylb]

Oh and the green one does open up more ill get another pic soon
