Show me your ... Green Nepthea

[reefnewbie54321]

The first time I ever saw this coral was a few days ago ... I didnt know that Nepthea comes in such cool colors.

Heres some pictures I found in reefkeeping magazine,

Anyone have some in there tank? I havnt seen it in person so I'm not sure if its just the camera making it look so green. Hopefully some one who has it will share.

I have a nice colony and I promise you it is that neon green. Its amazing. I have been trying to get a good pic of it but, i can never get the colors to give the coral justice. I will try again once I get home tonight from work.

WOW! I have been making the runs to all the LFS's and no one has it in stock ... I like to see things in person before I order something but after seeing those pictures I'm definitely going to.

CamBarr- Niiice toadstool ... is that a Nepthea frag behind the big one? What lighting is it under? Also where did you purchase it?

TitanFan- Cant wait to see some pictures. Where did you purchase yours?

Thank you both for responding ... I was beginning to think no one had any.

Here is mine. These are under VHO's. The true color doesn't really come out.

Pulsing Sinuaria colony:

Three you don't see a lot of. The first Sinularia is the Palau Sinularia

More great pics

All the neon toadstools I see are frags or very small ... are they slow growers?

 

[LeftCoast]

I have one that's almost identical to some of the first pics you posted reefnewbie. I'll be sure to take some pics when the lights are on tomorrow.

 

[reefnewbie54321]

Very excited to see the pictures

This coral has just made me swap out my 65k MH's to 20k's and made me rework my aquascape to include a nepthea patch island in the right side of my tank simaler to what rbakers looks like.

Hi reefnewbie54321, I got a frag of neon from Hyacinth a while back. He has monster colony that he frags and he can ship. He lives 3 doors away from my house too.

Wow, that is a monster colony. Where the colors better in person? He said the color was washed out from the camera flash.

are there any good info sites for them? ive found some but they didn't tell me a whole lot. from what ive read, they seem very similar to this:http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=649
i know they're both nephthea, but sometimes the care is different. ive found out the basics, but was hoping to learn more. any info appreciated! thanks!

 

[reefnewbie54321]

I'm going to take care of my "future" green nepthea the same way I would any nepthea so I would say the same rules apply even if there colors are different. I could be wrong though ... I dont have one yet.
