Sun Coral Baby
Sun Coral Baby
Hi All,
I have been watching this small orange dot on one of the rock in my tank
for a couple of weeks. Well today I can confirm it's a Baby Sun Coral.
Check the photo below and look right in the center. The photo is not the best but I sure can tell what it is. The baby Sun Coral is only about 1/8".

Homer that's why I bought it. I had never seen a pink sun coral before.
As far as the polyps they have not opened up yet. As soon it opens I will
post a photo. This makes number 4.

Homer about all I know for sure (It's Pink) time will tell, I guess I will
have to do some:reading:

That's a great point soulpatch. Now who is the zoaking around here? I'm surprised that we're not seeing more, zoas have been all the rage, grow really well in nanos, and are very photogenic. I can also crosslink to some really neat macroalgae tanks in that forum section that are in nanos, so we have those checked off too. I guess we're missing an anemone-dominated tank too.... Always lots of angles, but I'm glad we have a few of them covered 
I'm sure there are a lot of builds out there of zoa-paradises, but they're probably from a few years ago and may not be active in the nano forum area.
BarryV, I love your suncorals, and tank in general. I really love seeing people do cool interesting things that I wouldn't/haven't/won't do in a tank. It's also great that you're still able to keep a nice mixed photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic reef. I can't forget to mention that you have some great looking SPS too, nice monticaps and either M. digis or S. Hystrix corals too, and some nice candycane/trumpet corals, and some nice euphyllias too. We all have our mixes. It'll be interesting to see how the mini max grows.

I have a zoa section that is slowly coming along though I find it harder to spend money on a polyp or two which look so meager when I could get a nice rainbow acan frag for the same. My chaos and what might be mauls should net me a decent return when I am ready to frag. Going rate of utter chaos is 20-25 a head so if I can sell for $10-15 a head I will be making out great though it is a slow grower.

ReefWreak I am just a little concerned about the the Mini Maxi Carpet Anemone, it has found a spot
under a rock where it get almost no light. I believe they require fairly strong light. It's only been in the tank a couple of days,
I guess time will tell. Thanks for the nice comments.

With your non-photosynthetic corals I'm surprised you're even using filter floss. I guess you're just changing it out pretty often to catch whatever isn't being eaten by the corals, and that's good.
