New frag

[Blakers]

Got a new frag today but it wasn't labeled at all and no one knew what it was, that's pretty bad I know, haha but this is it next to the octopus coral sorry if it's blurry

Looks like zooanthids to me.

 

[Abugg]

I agree with Carey, definitely zoos!

I believe your Octopus Coral is actually a Frogspawn Coral. Also check out CoralPedia.com :: Zoanthids, Palys for possible ID on color for your Zoas.

Yeah, looks like frogspawn to me as well. But I think it is sometimes called Octopus Coral

Are they slow growers? And special needs they require??

Octo Frogspawn.

Looks like shelby2185 should answer that question. I have a small frag of frogspawn that isn't doing much

I bought mine already at a decent size. It has 4 large heads and one small head. I've had it for about 2 months now and I have definitely seen growth. I target feed mine twice a week with a turkey baster. Some say you shouldn't have to target feed, but it's been working for me. I also only have the stock biocube lighting, and it's doing great.

If that is a frogspawn which IMO it is. Move somethings away. They have 6" sweepers that are war on other corals...

And the mystery frag looks to be zoa's or button polyps

Target feed eh? Think I'll try that. As I said before, I've had mine about 3 months and I haven't seen any growth. Urs really look great

Octo Frogspawn.

Beautiful coral

Nice tank

Just out of interest how much was that coral?

When I buy some Coral in the future I dont want to be ripped of by the LFS!
There coral is £40 For a quater of that is that a good price?

Thanks Aston

Target feeding kicks butt. I grew the trumpet in my profile pic from a small group of 5 to what you see in alittle less then a year.

Thanks!

Well, that does sounds quite expensive to me. However, I live in Florida so I might have better access to the corals than you do. I actually only paid $40 for my octo-frogspawn. They wanted $55, but I'm a loyal customer to the store I bought it from and I haggled with them. lol

I haggle as well and find go deals. Bought 10 frags for $100. And a frag of branching montipora digitata for $1.99

But some place I plan to try is Saltcritters.com
