My first ever coral!

[trukgirl]

We finally got our new light system for our 65g... and got our first ever coral!
I know its not as fancy or big as most of everyone's, but I'm proud of it. We are planning on maybe another zoa frag or 2, a Kenya tree, a Toadstool, and a green BTA.

looks lonely in there lol but not for long you got your first shot of the drug now your addicted

 

[trukgirl]

LOL!! I know, right??

BTW I was told these are Palys from the LFS.

Going to a fragging class from my local reef club on the 22nd...I get to take home what I frag. The tank has been a FOWLR since the beginning of April, and just got my new lights this past week. Now its a reef! I can't wait to get more and for these guys to grow and multiply...

 

[Rich1427]

yep thats what they are they were my first too get some gsp green star polyps they grow fast and hardy

 

[Puffcrusader696]

+1 on the GSP they are nice little coral and reefing is exciting when you first get into it congrats!

 

[NyReefNoob]

look like jolly green giants, a morph of green people eaters, nice start

 

[Reef Junkie]

Looks awsome and congratz!
Be careful about what you add to your tank. Read and ask questions about corals from your local group and here. The fragging class sounds great!

One word... Green Star Polyps (while very pretty) can and will encroach on other corals and can kill more delicate corals.
You have been warned! Lol

And the addiction begins... Congrats... +1 on the GSP, that stuff is a reefers worst nightmare overtime...

 

[trukgirl]

Thanks everyone

I will definitely talk to them at the club about my other selections, and I will make sure to keep them in check once they start multiplying!
They seem to be a little taller and looking healthy!
