Are they also known as Pizza Anemones? because I can them Pizza Anemones for 25bucks a piece.

 

[Tigahboy]

I just googled "Pizza Anemone" actually and it appears to be a different species. Cryptodendrum adhaesivum. But LFSs get the IDs wrong all the time.

Okay...I just googled "Pizza Anemone" as well and thats definitely not what I saw at the LFS, in fact this thread

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1573983

is what I see at the LFS for 25 bucks...

 

[Tigahboy]

Yeah, I have seen that one too. I think that one is a fairly common color morph.

OK OK. no more talk about buying maxi minis! This thread is getting out of hand! hahaha.

 

[MazdaSPD3]

[Tigahboy]

Got a chiton today. Looks like a crazy prehistoric creature!

Also got some nerites and more nassarius vibex.

What do those eat?

Corals are looking great!! How is the growth with the t5 setup? Your tank definitely has a wide variety of inverts.. Keep up the good work.

Supposedly all kinds of algae. They are sensitive shippers and only 1 out of 3 made it. :*(

So far so good. It hasn't been that long, so I haven't noticed tons of growth yet, but my corals are doing well.

I'm more curious about how my SPS growth will be like under the T5s. This will be my first time trying SPS on a T5 only tank.

 

[MazdaSPD3]

Woops, looks like the Pizza Anemones are 35 bucks, but still great coloration IMO. Wondering if I should pick up a couple...

Awesome!! I debated for a few days about what light setup up I wanted to go with.. I plan on keeping SPS and possibly some clams, MH's were my choice just because I got a great deal on them. Although the Sunpower fixture still lingers in the back of my head.. I cant wait to see the growth with your setup!

I hope it works out for you! They look sweet and with your healthy tank, they are bound to make it

 

[Tigahboy]

So it begins...

Starting off my SPS phase with an easier SPS - a nicely shaped monti cap. Not super red, but hoping it will color up. T5s, do your stuff!

 

[Pylon]

<-- jealous

 

[Tigahboy]

I'm hoping to have a nice little cluster of caps in the same general vicinity.

My thread doesn't seem to get as much of a response without maxi mini photos... so hope this satisfies you folks! Haha.

And now some other photos.

Some actinic shots.
