OK here goes my first shipment, I have had it for almost 2 weeks now totally cycled just waiting for the weather to change for next shipment

check out the size of the pieces compared to the putty knife

All 3 Pieces totalling 130lbs poor quality sorry

Placed in the tank and cycling

Remember this is a six foot tank the pieces are huge!

Think its a christmas tree worm

Great ground work for the good rock to come
Great Job TBS

Great pics. Cool macro algea in the closed brain pic.

Why, you lucky worm , you got a Christmas Tree worm!!!

But to deflate you, your closed brains appear to actually be Siderastrea radians, 'lesser starlet corals.'

Your 'open for id' is one of three: (Multiple choice test for Landlord, who's supposed to get CMA for himself & 'Surprise' though the answer won't be in CMA, it'll be easier to find in Borneman )
(a) Phyllangia (hidden cup coral)
(b) Cladacora (tube coral)
(c) Tubastrea (also tube coral)

Any idea what this is there are like 6 of them next to the dying spong behind this one but they are small

 

[hdtran]

If you're talking the little purple looking guys, they're tunicates.

Sorry, I can't help you with genus or species...

Where 'South of Boston?' We used to live in Lexington (and glad not to be buried by the Nor'easter!)

 

[delta]

"south of Boston" Carver next to Plymouth and yes we have snow wet and sticky now but surposed to get colder and then it will be a real mess, frozen wet snow you know ICE

Nah the plant like thing white with pink/purple glowing limbs(filters) was what i was trying to figure out but the other id was more than welcome i will try and get a better picture

 

[hdtran]

Small feather dusters? (worms, sabellid worms if I recall). Shape can be either like a leaf rake, or circular.

 

[delta]

Here s little guy i have like 10 of these

here he is with his filters going

more TBS rock inhabitants

[delta]

Cant for the life of me get a good picture of this open brain

if i don't shoot it fom above it you cant see it tucked in behind the sponges nicely

more coming

 

[landlord]

Great looking pictures. Nice brain!

 

[hdtran]

Beautiful photos! What kind of camera & settings? Macro? Auto exposure, or are you manually manipulating flash, etc.? I've got a hard time getting good focus.

 

[catdoc]

All that I can say is, I WANT SOME!! Looks absolutely gorgeous!
