This is the Tyree frag that was infested with AEFW. It's doing better.

Great shots, as usual!!

 

[BLKTANG]

Sweetness!!

 

[bradleyj]

Great pictures and very beautiful coral shots Marc. I did see one aptasia in there. Does your anenome sting the other coral around it like mine does?

 

[melev]

Thanks y'all.

Bradley, while I was in Switzerland last month, my Copperband Butterfly died. I'm going to need to get new one to keep the aiptasia at bay.

My BTAs do sting the surrounding area, but it never has been problematic.

Found another picture I didn't add last night.

This coral is 3 or 4 years old, I forget. The bottom one is a baby of the parent colony, and the baby is larger than the original piece purchased. The branches in the back on the smaller piece are being burned by the Lavendar Frillies. This pieces measure 14" from left edge of the parent to the right edge of the baby.

I blame the camera, Eric.

 

[subijitsu]

Looks great! Love the different perspective.

 

[zenya]

Nice shots, Marc.

Tell me more about that blue maxima, I love it;s coloration.

 

[melev]

I bought it from the LFS near my house a few months ago. I really didn't know if it would survive because I had a copperband butterfly. Turns out it wasn't an issue. It has been growing nicely. Here's one more shot:

 

[zenya]

Gorgeous! Thanks for the eye candy.

 

[lux_06]

need bloody sunglasses to look at that clam!!

 

[Tiki G.]

Wow, those are some really nice pics. The colors are great.

 

[melev]

Everything looks better from above. We really short-change ourselves when we view our reefs from the front/side of the tank.

 

[Bebo77]

Melev is this red slime ( cyano ) algea? how is prodibio treating you?

 

[melev]

Yes, it is Cyano bacteria. I've not dosed Prodibio in a few months, but am thinking about trying again.

 

[Bebo77]
