a few new and old pickups...

[greystreet41]

it would be cool to have a thread where everyone shares their new acquisitions...maybe this will start it...or not.

everything is in the QT tank for now...really got some rockscaping work to do with my new pieces that will look better on substrate...


Blood Red Lobophyllia hemprichii...had to have this...it's huge (10 inches across or so)....by far my favorite coral I think I've ever had.

acan colony that had been at the critter for awhile...it looked much more of a deeper red, but turning out to be the common color...oh well...

Red and Blue Acanthastrea echinata

Yellow Montipora
peltiformis with purple polyps

Lobophyllia corymbosa ...pretty cool due to the branching....resembling caulastra or euphyllia in that respect...

pink edged Lobophyllia
hemprichii

Green and Yellow Echinophyllia echinoporoides

pink eyed echinata

my 2 favorite lobo wellsi--had these awhile

oumphyllia crispa (sp?)

they threw in this free frag...

Some great corals, but the last one is definitely the coolest! Don't see you trading that one anytime soon.

Brain junkie... At least the Ivy grows well.

Great pics... I love that red and blue acan. Cute kid too. If I find a few minutes I'll take pictures of some of my frag swap frags. I've been spending so much time on getting the 92 up and running I haven't had much time for anything else.

...I thought you said you were downsizing

Wow Nice corals! I love the brain I got from you as one of my favorites. Your daugter is a doll with those 2 teeth showing! Hanna is 8 1/2 months old with no teeth yet!


Oh and you just think that little frag was free.... :lol: She will be the reason you sell out all your tanks to buy her whatever she batts her pretty blue eyes for and says, "But Daaadddyyy.... please..." :lol:

Nice LPS Casey....that last ones the best...and I know she is not even close to free

Some nice corals Casey - what did happen to that downsizing thing anyway?

And if that's a recent picture, the kiddo looks like she must be feeling much better. Yay for that!!

downsizing? Seen the episode from Season 1 of the Office on downsizing? Great stuff. The swap allowed me to free up a lot of space..."downsizing" is a relative term anyways.

Yes, Ivy Grace is feeling much better since Christmas from her bouts with RSV and bronchiolitis...thanks for asking.

He downsized by getting rid of SPS to make room for LPS. He had some nice SPS.
