Leonardo's Formosa Forest 2

[Hookup]

Too bad those corals are so colorful and have such varied structures. I really feel for you. I'll help you out and for no additional charge get you some brown-monocrhome SPS for you and trade.

Leonardo, what coral is this? A. tenuis? A.Loisettae? Beautiful coloration.

 

[Mr Cheezy]

Leonardo nice looking a. Florida you got your hands on.

 

[strout]

Nice looking tank and corals. I will look forward to seeing the two come together.

Thank you all for the kind reactions and compliments!

tonyespinoza; I have quarantined and treated the corals I already had for three weeks now. They are now 100% free of any pests.
The new purchased Acropora were dipped in Revive before they were added to the rest of the Acropora. All the Acropora together will be quarantined for three weeks again, and dipped weekly with Levamisole.
When the new tank is running I will set up a separate quarantine tank for new corals, to prevent future infections.

Joost, I would say this is probably an Acorpora Loisettae.

Mr Cheezy, I was pleasantly surprised that it looks like a real A. Florida. Sometimes Bali-Maricultures mis-determine a species and you will end up with a staghorn type Acropora when ordered a A. Florida.

[WDLV]

It looks like an acro that was kept in a tank with excellent flow.

Thanks everyone!

Nihoa, I believe this is an Acropora Abrolhosensis.

Yesterday I ordered all the wood and plates to build the stand. It will be delivered next Tuesday, but because it's very busy at work+study I think the stand will be ready next weekend.
In the meantime I will continue to treat my corals and collecting all the necessary equipment.

Thanks Kenneth!

Founds this crab munching on my Acropora Tenuis colony just a few minutes ago... Quickly took him out and put it in the sump.
I think he will be the first future resident of the refugium
