July coral update (dialup beware!)

[dkle]

Here are some new pics of my (mostly) SPS taken this month.

Teal stylophora




Closeup






Newly acquired pink stylophora. I hope it does well in my tank. Such a stunning piece






Purple with blue polyp stylophora. Rare color morph as far as I know. Such a slow grower though






Bright green poicillopora

The incredible crayola table A.plana. It is still recovering from the fall into the stinging tentacles of the wall hammer coral (notice the dead skeleton on the left)

My newest addition, beautiful green tabletop acro

ORA blue bottlebrush

Blue A.elseyi

Comparing to a month ago

ORA blue milli, this guy's color is just out of this world, especially looking from the top down. The pic doesn't do it any justice at all

comparing to a month ago

This green birdnest is getting too big to be neatly captured in one pic

comparing to a month ago

One of my very favorites, ORA yellow A.batunai

comparing to a month ago

This birdnest is growing like a weed despite being fragged not too long ago

Those are some nice looking corals you have there. Do you have a shot of the whole tank?

Thanks,

great shots, those are some pretty impressive pieces, any full tank shots coming?

 

[dkle]

thanks guys!

No FTS guys, at least until I figure out a way to take good FTS.

As a compromise though, I have several side shots of the tank


From the right side

From the other side of the tank

Here are some more pics


Bought as A.loripes; but looks like A.granulosa more and more. It was browned out when I bought it; but the tips have turned into a gorgeous blue and purple colors since. I have great hope for this one






Blue A.aculeus, recovering from the chewing from the black urchin






Another brown out piece that I bought for a great price; now is light green with pink tips. A.granulosa






ORA Scripp Pink milli. The color is hot pink with blue tips






Originated from a small shadowed branch from the green birdnest mother colony posted above, this colony has attained a pretty good size itself. Here it is in all of its green glory.
It is funny how flow affects coral shape. The mother colony is stationed in between the two Tunze currents and develops a very compact growth pattern. The daughter colony is in an area with much less flow and has a very open branching pattern.

Nice tank How do you control the star polyps? The ones in the picture with the in the A.granulosa you bought as an A lorpies. I hav some growing on a rock by my LTA but it starting to crowd and kill my monti cap.
