so here 'tis....the results of the "beam me up, Mel" trip to ABC Reefs in Syracuse:
tyree birdsnest
several, hard to see fancy mushrooms, some ricordea
ORA Purple Plasma acro...(gorgeous)
unidentified....this is a pale peach opal with iridescent blueish green extensions...
my favorite find of the day (and ABC beat any other price around) Walking Dendro (The Walking Dendro is very new to the aquarium trade - only a few have every made it into the hobby so far. It resembles Whisker Corals (Dendrophyllia sp.) and Cup Corals (Balanophyllia sp.) but is actually a very different coral. The coral itself grows on one single head like the Cup Corals but is photosynthetic as opposed to the other two corals mentioned. It grows around a hole in its base where a worm species takes up residence. This worm gives the coral its "walking reputation" - as the worm moves around the tank, it takes the coral with it. The coral can however survive without its worm "transportation".)
yellow polyps...yes, i know they are a weed...but i love them
a freebie - a two mouth beautiful purple with yellow ricordea
per request...my acans (these came from Sean at the Marine Institute...blueberry acans being the hardly ever seen ones)
requested...pics of babies (there are 6 more on the other sides)
