The guy from the lfs said they were eyes of hades . Weird name

Yea they do look different than fire and ice. Very nice though.

Thats a nice bubble coral. Ive never had one.

Heres a acan frag i got the other day that im super stoked about. It was labeled as a sunburst acan but i havent found one like it under that name. Heres a cell phone pic of it under atinics.(not very clear)

That's my bubble coral that I rescued when I bought my tank, it almost didn't make it but after dipping and some tlc it has turned out to be very nice

Thx , that's a real nice acan , I've been wanting one but haven't found one at my LFS that I really like yet

New scoly that I just got this weekend. I saw the other awesome scolys and decided to get one

 

[mr_X]

That's a nice one. They are not high light corals and don't need nearly as much light as a clam. You might be better off lowering that closer to the sand bed.

 

[furrymurray]

The place I purchased from had it slowly acclimated to MH and had it at the top of the tank. I was shocked myself but I was afraid to lower the lighting too quickly and further stress it. I plan to keep a very close eye on it and will change the location according to how the coral reacts

 

[mr_X]

Less light doesn't stress corals. You can see how it's not really inflated as much as it could be. i believe if you lower it, it might inflate more.

 

[furrymurray]

Ok thanks will do

Mr X, I have one mounted vertically about mid height in the tank. I notice it is pretty inflated with the actinics on but shrinks with the whites. You recommend a move further down? Part of the shrinkage is due to an Encrusting Hydno falling over and stinging a portion of it about 3 months ago. Healing has been slow but is progressing. Thanks for the input.

 

[mr_X]

Feed it, and yes, they are good on the sand bed IME.

 

[furrymurray]

Moved it about an hour ago and I think it already looks better. I fed it pe mysis yesterday. How often would you feed it?

 

[mr_X]

Looks freaken great!
Couple times a week won't hurt.
