Great group shots in Post 2748:thumbsup::thumbsup:
On the evansi, they'll eat big chunks of food. I used raw frozen scallops and shrimp. It worked well for me with randalls and evansi. I trained them in QT which made it easier.
I don't buy you have to feed that tiny food to small/mid sized anthias.......they have huge mouths for their size. It's just a matter of training.

I echo what has been said already about the latest photos. The common coral names you use don't mean anything to me, but two of my favourites in this set are the Acropora in the first picture and "not sure what it is".
One question: why have you started to add a watermark to your photos?

Thanks Ed.
The new anthias went into the display with the other anthias. The smaller ones (which I should never have bought) have already died. They were about an inch long.. they would only eat the smallest particles. My larger ones eat anything including flake and pellets.. how big were the evansis you were working with? I assumed that adding new anthias to established ones would actually help them emulate the behavior of the established fish and get them eating quickly..
Thanks! Selago.. I will look that up..
Hey Bulent, thanks! unfortunately I am terrible at scientific names for corals and ID ing in general.
I started adding a watermark because I am trying to have a presence on Facebook- locally- to promote by business more. I do aquarium maintenance full time - fresh and salt- and because Facebook is so public and to associate my photos with me and my business, I just figured I'd start "˜owning' my photos..
I want to begin detailing my maintenance practices and showing some of the other tanks I take care of.. so it's just a way of branding my photos, I suppose..

. This side is really growing in because I haven't messed with it too much. The other side keeps having corals pulled out and replaced with new frags.. I can't help always trying to find a different/better colour..Hey Mike. Thanks, man!
maybe I should go international! :rollface:

Beautiful Matt, just crazy beautiful.
Mark, Corey, Jordan, thanks guys! I really appreciate the comments. Feels good to get the positive feedback. Sometimes, I look at my tank and go ‘yeah, looking good.’ Other times I’ll have a look and say ‘what the hell have I got here?? Looks aweful.’ Maybe it’s just my wussy moods that do that!! :debi:
I guess I pay more attention to the corals that I am frustrated with..
when I’m taking pics I obviously ignore those ones.
Top down pics never disappoint...
Thanks again!
Just noticed I have a mediocre shot I never posted..
This is a cultured Gold/green something and a steel grey piece that is growing well.. that’s an old encrustment of habanero between..
And another habanero close up..

Interesting! I have this sps that looks similar to your habanero; it's called "˜shockaholic' do you think it's the same thing? Pic below

:hb2: Scott, you get the prize for eagle eyes! Yep. Been in there for a few months. Not doing much however. I'm just leaving it alone for now.

Wow. Looks very similar. Could very well be the same. How long have you had it?
Here- I edited your shot a bit to remove the blue.. looks even more similar..
I have a question for you: I see you use tapatalk. When you post pics are they stored on your phone?
I've been using postimage. Com to host my pics but I know tapatalk will great it's one link from a computer. I pretty much use my phone exclusively for going on line and I'm not sure the mobile version of tapatalk can support the third party hosting link..
any insight in that?

Thanks man; yes your edited picture looks way more accurate in terms of what the coral looks like in real life.
Re. Tapatalk; I actually don't now where my pictures are stored, but defiantly not my phone. They are compressed and beamed up to the net and I think they are likely stored on a Tapatalk server; for example, I am on a few reefing forums, when I post an update on one forum, I simply copy and paste my post into the other forums, and the picture / links transfer seamlessly (one of my favorite things about Tapatalk). I see there are some buttons on the Tapatalk GUI for posting links and codes but I've never had to use it as I don't host my pictures externally.
Thanks again for having a look!
