I decided to venture out to see how the other side lives! I went to pookstreet's home to drop off a coral and you know I brought my camera. 300 gallons of wet dreams. I have seen all these wicked colored acans around and I can now say that I too am a believer!:D Now to talk the wife into another tank.

I took a lot of pics but here are a few to hold you over til tomorrow.

actually I think he said those were palythoa. I don't remember the name of them though. maybe "purple death"?
 
ok, that would make a lot more sense. they looked like blastos at first, but now i see the rim around them isn't a fleshly rim. definately looks more like palys.

i was gonna say!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: i gotta get me some o' them!

lol!
 
Great Pictures Greg! Kenny has some killer stuff, I got some frags from him a few months ago and it pretty much started the LPS trip I'm on now! :)

is that the Prism Favia or the Dragons Soul? or are they the same? what a specimen!!

I spoke w/ Kenny and I was told that is actually the original Dragon Soul colony. It is a remarkable piece.

Not any more. I was originally given one from Richard (wishintobeoutside), who is a very good friend of mine, but I cannot maintain the color as I have too much light. I gave the frag back. I'm sure I can get it back if I set up a low light tank in the future. Last I talked to Richard, he was having trouble keeping the color in his tanks since they are so shallow. I assume that is why the colony in in Kenny's tank but don't quote me on that.

What kind of LIGHTS is he using?
The lighting on the tank is temporary while awaiting his MH system. Right now he is using some cheap T5 fixtures.

Great Pics. Kenny has a beautiful varied collection of Lps.

yes he does and so do you my friend! :)
 
kev,

the piece that is at kenny's is the orginal dragon soul colony. a fragement of this did go to steve tyree, other fragments have gone to hugo and josecasas, recently slojim. i have seen a few similar colonies but not the same as this. the color stayed true and is more vivid then another peice i have. This piece may be similar to atlantis aquarium's ulimtate crown jewel, but i have not seen a fragment to compair. my orginal colony was broken by diver/ collector, i have seen sps addict fragment and is very close if not the same... i hope this history helps.

Richard
 
Richard, I love that Dragons Soul frag I got. I have noticed the vibrant purple began to dim within the first few days of being in my tank. It came out of the bag so bright...one of the brightest purples I have ever seen, only to dim out on me. Any suggestions?? I have it on the bottom, at least 30" under the 250w 12K Reeflux SE MH bulb, in full light. I am thinking I need to get it in a shaded spot with diffused light maybe???
