Got some new corals. - Aquarium Advice

**Devilishturtles** · 10-01-2006, 01:11 PM

Picked up some new corals at the not so local LFS.

I picked up a damaged brain (I believe lobophyllia, can anyone confirm?) for pretty cheap. Also got a nice green/purple/pink ricordea.

And just as a bonus, a tank shot.

btw, my hands are not molting, I'm just wearing gloves.

Nice additions there DT. Yes that is the lobo or open brain. The ricordeas look nice. You are now the father of some nice corals. Your brain needs to be on the sand. On the rock will cause the skin to recede IME. You can see where mine is here.

Good Luck and nice tank.

I`m sorry about saying father I just found out that your a lady. You are now the mother of some great corals. I apologize for sticking my foot in my mouth. Sorry.

Lol, no problem. Eveyone seems to think I'm a guy, I'm used to it. I should really put someting in my sig that says "hey, I'm a girl".

The guy at the LFS told me to keep it at the top of the tank until it regained it's color. Was he just lying to me again? hehe.

Thanks for the help!
