Paul's 40 Gallon Reef

[erichm20]

This was sold to me as a Stawberry Shortcake ( A. microclados) but after a little help from some SPS experts I believe it to be a Tricolor Valida (A. valida). Top-down shot.

I love validas, and you got yourself a real beauty right there! From what I hear they can be rather challenging but yours obviously looks pretty happy!


What lights are you running again, radions? And what camera are you using?

I could never buy another small RBTA. They grow too slow IMO.

True. I'll just have to wait along with the acros.

Thanks! It is one of my favorite pieces. I have a Chinese 120w LED panel, far from a radion, but has not failed me. I use a cheap cannon elph camera. I forget the actual number/name of it but I think it was around $80 or so back when I got it.

So I've been thinking of fragging this frogspawn. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but its getting huge for my tank! I'm also thinking of moving what I keep from it lower in the tank neat the torch and making a higher rock area in its place for a few more SPS's. Does frogspawn still sell pretty high like it used to? She is heathy and bright! Here are some recent photos. You can't miss it in the FTS.

Up here in the NE Ohio I'm seeing frogspawns going for close to $20 a head.. And those are average looking- nothing compared to what you have going

Wow! I have never shopped for one...that's crazy! How many heads does that have? Yours is really gorgeous though and worth $$$! Corals are just crazy expensive sometimes!

I'll share the newbies later when I get home. My frogspawn has alot of heads on it and it is very healthy. I started it from a single head.

In my area frogspawn is the cheapest of the Euphylias at $25 2-3 heads. Torches come in at $35 a head, and it goes up from there.

That's about right where I'm at. Torches are higher. But color plays the biggest role in price of any of the Euphylias of course.

So here are my new additions! I got a really healthy frag of a green tip Scripps Acro, a small 4 head polyp of some pretty awesome zoas (still not sure on the name), and last but not least I got my another Red Linkia now that my Harlequin is long gone. My last one lived for over a year or so until my galaxea coral killed it (the galaxea is gone!). I still cant get a good shot on the zoas, but I have a photo of the mother conlony. Here's some pics.
