I love plates, I'm finally upgrading tanks so I can make my plate garden, I'm in the market for a bright green one, blue or red would be awesome but I've yet to see one for sale online.

My original orange

Rescue orange, every time it gets a little better I drop a frag on it, eek!

My purple rim, still only expands at night

In my nano.... I think it is splitting. It was cracked accidently, note the new mouth.

My Red baby

My Neon Yellow

here are some actinic shots - t5s on an IC660. no editing cos i'm too lazy...some top down, some head on. Fungia, cycloseris, diaseris, lithophyllion, herpolitha, halomitra/sandalolitha, and polyphyllia. i want to convert the tank into a lagoon tank with fungias, chalices, duncans, garden eels & curious wormfish eventually.

This herpo started to crap out, but there are a dozen or so babies growing out as you can see. This guy is about 8".

not a plate but their tankmate (for fun)

 

[joetbs]

lastly the top downs

double diaseris

 

[coralite]

Dang Joe, I love that orange Diaseris, very very cool. You gotta propagate that. Pretty sure the coral you posted right before the Diaseris is a Leptoseris but I'll have a better idea when I see it in person next week. ;-)

 

[joetbs]

It's definitely Diaseris too. Hard to tell in the pic. You can verify it when you're here and take some better shots

 

[coralite]

Oh yeah, there's no doubt you got at least two different Diaseris. I remember you telling Ali about the orange Diaseris when I was in SoCal and I didnt believe it then but I have no doubt now. Can't wait to take some pics of it myself.

there's a frag of it out there, as you can see by the slice missing. actually snapped it handling it gently when i had to rebag it. still trying to get my main system back on track before i slice it.

notice the orange cyclo on the right - had a hint of green when i first got it & is starting to slowwwwwly fill in.

That's how my orange and green cyclo started. It was orange with pale stripes through it. Although it showed no green to begin with eventually it developed the intense coloration.

 

[waterfaller1]

I have what I believe to be cycloseris. Never heard of diaseris, what's the difference? Amazing colors on these btw! I never knew there was blue, yellow, & intense red like these.

I seem to remembersome one saying they'd give me a frag of that when they sent out the package to me Never did see it

 

[coralite]

Lime green herpolitha limax

A nice colored Fungia

Let me go see about digging up some more

 

[coralite]

Halomitra, one of my personal faves

And this is a weak shot of an awesome orange Sandalolitha

And this one is quite a find, a hot pink Ctenactis

 

[Sheol]

Did I say this thread had promise a couple of says ago? Well, that was an understatement, because this thread ROCKS!
Some of the best coral macro pics I've ever seen, & I've seen a lot here on ol' RC.
This could replace the Favia thread as next month's thread of the month!

Sincerely,
Matthew

 

[SimilanRocks]

coralite, those are nice. I have never seen those kinds before. thanks for sharing.

 

[elkinsda]

What kind of lighting are you guys using on those fungia and whats the distance from the light?

it was there, in the bag with the Clarion Angel, Naked Clownfish & baby Garibaldi. You must've missed it in the sea of orange.
