I love the zoas on the crab thats very cool.
I have been looking for some tubastrea also, i had some and fed it daily brine shrimp and the stuff grew like crazy....................it's cool stuff
 
Thats nice! I've been eyeing that piece for a while, I guess I'll look at the one above it.

What do you think about GBR? I am kinda working there because my sister takes ballet right behind it 6 days a week.

I got some zooplex to feed it but brine shrimp will be small enough for it? I was thinking of also getting cyclopeez too. What do you think?
 
I have a sun coral and I usually feed mine mysis and cyclopleeze 2-3 times per week by taking it out and feeding each polyp so I dont pollute the entire tank. Its a bit of work but when it opens, its beautiful, im trying to train it to come out during the evenings instead of just when the lights go out
 
I love Sun Polyps, just hate the work that goes into them.

Where is GBR? I was out that way this weekend and looked them up on Yellowpages.com but it was the old address, and we didn't have time to stop anyway.
 
I have a nice tubastrea in my tank. I let it pickup whatever it wants on a daily basis (cyclopeze, phytoplankton, etc.). Twice a week I squirt some P.E. Mysis soaked in Selcon over it and make sure he gets a good amount. I just use a turkey baster. Its doing great, so I'd recommend that approach rather than pulling it out to feed every polyp. Its just not necessary. Once it gets used to the fact that the phyto or cyclopeze means feeding time, the polyps will come out to look for food.

I only pull it out because I have a smaller tank and have a lot of flow in it so any squirt is either blown away by the powerheads/ current or other fishes/shrimp steal the pieces straight from the sun coral. I also dont want to increase wasted food in the tank since I feed the fishes in the morning and corals at night. Keeps my PH down and less algae bloom'n. I know there is a dome you can put over the coral from a water bottle and some airline tubbing but I just don't have room for it in my tank.
 
Cut the top off of a Plastic bottle that will fit over the entire colony. Then feed through the open top, and remove after the polyps have eaten their fill.


Caleb, are you sure about that? Really not trying to knock you but I was told by someone sho lives 5 miles from there, that it was not there (I yellowpage.com it and the address I got was essentially the corner you speak of.) Still didn't have time to stop but I would have crused by the outside.
 
Caleb is right - they are at yosemite and maximus. We have been there before.
Kewl Store.
worth your time to find it and go in and visit it.
