Kenney,
Is that a Cyphastrea Japonica? I recently got a line on some locally I was thinking of picking up. I've already got a piece of Meteor Shower and like the look of the Japonica!
Good Stuff!~

Thanks Brian. It used to cover a fish sized rock but had some issues a few months back and had some die off. Fully recovered now and the rock is more than half covered.

It is true that they do pack a nice punch but sometimes it's a toss up. I've seen them nuke other corals but have also seen the same thing happen to them. Who really knows :hmm5:

Dave, that's the Cyphastrea ocellina. The japonica does not have any red or pink in it. It's straight green and blueish/purple. If you had asked earlier about the japonica, I could have gotten you a nice baseball sized colony. I got rid of them all a while back.

Yay, the two Macropharyngodon geoffroyi have finally somewhat adjusted to my light cycle and coming out more. That sure took a while

Very nice macro shots.Yay, the two Macropharyngodon geoffroyi have finally somewhat adjusted to my light cycle and coming out more. That sure took a while

Thanks anyway Kenny, I appreciate the offer! Also, thanks for the clarification...
So, do you no longer have the Ocellina pictured above then?

Yep, the blue spots on the back half is simply awesome to see in person. Once they are fully acclimated to my light schedule, I'll definitely try and get some pix. Right now, they are still coming out before any lights are on into the actinic cycle, but disappear before the halides.

No worries, Dave. I still have the ocellina. It's the japonica that I no longer have. It's interesting that everyone who sees the ocellina in person didn't know what it is. They all think it's some kind of rainbow Cyphastrea

Pics like this make me want to bring back a few of my zoas to my display. All I do is keep making them smaller and smaller :eek1:

All of my Favias took a hit a few months back. Both TS colonies lost some some tissue and the colors sure ain't what they used to be. They are healthy now though and I am trying to get them colored back up. Hopefully they are not too ****ed at me.

No worries, Ian. At this point, I am still doing it, although I don't have much to frag. So mostly I'll be hanging out
