Sick Mike, just plain sick! Love those Gorgs. Can't wait to see how they do.

Wow! Amazing tank!

 

[Aquabacs]

Thanks guys!

I am curious how long it is going to take for the West African gorgonians to grow back completely. I will be target feeding them directly by the missing areas to help with their re-growth.

I've never seen ones like that before... cool colors! That white gorg is still my favorite

I believe they are Mopsella sp.

There are so unbelievably bright in person, they almost look fake. The white gorg is beautiful, especially when every polyp is open. The next video I want to take is of that one. It just has been camera shy the last couple of days.

I picked up a Plesiops oxycephala (orange cheek marine betta or also called peacock mini betta) today. First one I have seen. Here is a link to what it looks like http://twitpic.com/17krii

Wow! Amazing fish! How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

It came in with a West African shipment. I believe 2 were shipped into the country. I have one and the other is most likely getting picked up by LA.

I thought this picture looked pretty cool of one of my crinoids wrapped around my pink dendro colony.

Today I have joined the Distichopora club I was able to pick one up at a very reasonable price and I will embark on the journey with you guys in keeping this interesting species. Not the color I was searching for but can't have enough blue in a non-photosynthetic aquarium. While it is acclimating right now, I will take initial measurements of the Distichopora to see in the upcoming months if growth is shown. Any information I can share and learn on this coral will be posted within this thread.

GL with the new coral Mike, I love, love, love 'em!

That is an awesome pic above as well... lock your doors bud, otherwise you might wake up to that coral missing

 

[Aquabacs]

Come on by, I will be able to test out my Mossberg Aquarium Security System Hopefully to upgraded to a Benelli M4 Super 90 just in case I have multiple people trying to take corals.

Congrates and welcome. Lets see if we can get these to live. First we have to positively find out what they eat.

 

[Kreeger1]

If you touch it bare handed does it burn or bother your skin?

 

[slapshot]

No, they are from the same family as fire Coral but they are not Fire Coral.

+1 on the live part I will start with the basics on feeding and then if need be, hit the Japanese market for some unusual stuff to throw in the blender.
