Thanks! I need to do a write up on the tank but I have midterms until Tues so it will have to wait a little...

 

[Aquabacs]

they moved the image I fixed the link - its a 1.5" tiny yellow Nephthyigorgia (you can tell by the size of the sand next to it)

 

[Aquabacs]

Regardless of size, it is yellow!

 

[uhuru]

I know, that's why I had to grab it. I never see them that color.

I don't know why they keep moving the pic. Well here it is I saved it to my photobucket account:

^^The picture above from DD is very accurate. I opened the bag and looked at this coral and it was already glowing. Brightest yellow I've ever seen on a coral - and to top it off the polyps are a pure white. This is truly one of the most breathtaking little corals I've ever seen in person. And it's tiny. Just a baby. Pics this weekend!

OMG..now I know we need to meet in person and I see your set up..... we probably live only about 20 min from each

I had a similar coral but it was bright orange

Great find Mike

 

[Aquabacs]

Erik did you pick that up from Greg?

Ciao uhuru, beautiful tank!
I saw you have a Paracucumaria tricolor, be carefull, because some years ago I lost a 600 lt tank because of it.

 

[Kreeger1]

I picked it up at Macna a few years back from a vendor I can't remember the name of.

Erik - how did that coral do in your tank? Mine is still not fully upright. Not sure if this is one that indeed prefers to be upside down or sideways. Polyps open and close in response to food though.

Luca - thanks for the compliment and warning!

Cool zooplankton video worth watching:

I love your build. Here locally we have ADA LFS rep. I too almost went with the 120p ADA tank, instead I got the 120 Gs OC Tech. However, I did build myself a ADA stand.

will you be going with the ADA stand?
