new pictures set two

[fambrough]

I should have put the coral names in with the pics in my last post sorry about that. I am unsure of the id on the large finger coral on the right side of the FTS, but I believe it could be a sinularia. The other two were obviously a green sinularia and alcyonium respectively.

Pocillapora

orange ricordia

rhodactis inchoata

caulastrea

That's enough for now, I guess. Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Ben

what kind of lighting you got over that tank? what size is it?

All the photos in both posts are of my 40 breeder. It has the Current USA 2x96 watts PCs dual actinic and daylight. The shallow depth of the 40 does not require stronger lighting for the corals I have. I use an overflow to a 15 gallon sump with an Aqua-C Urchin skimmer and a refugium thats full of chaetomorpha, mysis shrimp, amphipods, mini stars etc. on a reverse light schedule. It's a pretty low maintenance tank. I top of with RO, do a five gallon WC every two weeks and dose with two part daily. This tank has only one fish, a pygmy (aka cherub) angel fish.

I also have a 37 gal Oceanic "cube" that houses my anemones and paired clarkii clowns under 150 watts 14K MH. It's got some cool corals, too, including one species of echinopora (an awesome blue-green that I can not photograph to true color); two species of blue and red Echinophyllia; and three montipora, one green, one purple and one pink. I have difficulty photographing these. I think the glass is heavily tinted and the 14k makes things look really blue.

Thanks for asking.
