tyree most wanted capricornis

Looks like a nice purple cap, but I can't tell for sure since we are only seening the edges and underside. Do you have a top view shot?

Yes that about says it. I would take a top shot...but I would have to turn off my power head on that side. I'm sure it would not start up again and I would have to take it apart. Don't have the time to do that right now. My monty's are out growing my tank, I just cut them back from time to time.
 
2014:( ...
Boy I am going to have a great tank between 2011 to 2014. I better start making plans now. Dont want to wait until the last minute.

Sorry I havent made it out yet. If my wife takes me to one more Christmas party, I'll probably need a new liver. I'll definately be out after the holiday.

First $500 bucks takes it. ;) Hehe, for that kinda money, I'd drive down to Sanjay and get another piece (I could even cut him in on the deal!)

No need to get Huffy Jason. People are tossing around links and pictures. I happen to have that Book marked. No need to get a attitude.

We are talking about this specific coral right? Ok then :)
 
the way I see it now..I don't really care anymore..it's just a freaking name eventhought it's been confirmed. Oh well..regardless..they all NICE!!

OK i finally finished readin this whole thing now what i REALLY REALL Y want to know is WHY is it that Leng Sy was the only person in the WORLD to aquire such a coral from such a HUGE ocean i dont get it at all also like someone else noted everyone who has done anything in this hobby should know corals will look and grow diffrent in others tanks that is one of the main reasons why you never should empty someone elses water into your tank PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know why it is that Leng Sy was the only person in the world to ever have this coral was it the only piece to ever grow in the ocean and he was lu8cky enough to get the whole entire colony and strip the whole genus from the ocean ?

Nick,

Now that you read the whole thread you should have fresh in your mind the progression of this thread. Outside of the "ugly" parts that occured, the thread can be broken into two parts.

Part I of thread:
- First, there was the search for a frag or colony that was a direct descendent from the original colony that Leng Sy had.

Part II of thread:
- Since Steve Tyree could not find proof that any of the frags coming from the original Leng Sy colony (See above) have survived, the focus then became to find a coral that matches all of the characteristics that have been observed of the Leng Sy coral.

In conclusion, I don't see where it was stated that Leng Sy had the only coral that possed those charactersistics. I don't belive anyone out there believes that there aren't exact duplicates of this coral out there. But there are many corals that resemble it but yet have a characteristic that differentiates them as well. I have two other morphs that at first glance look very much like it but when you look at them closely they are different than my Leng Sy like coral. For example, one of them is a perfect match on everything else except the polyps are not white. If I painted white dots all over it, it would be difficult to tell them apart.

Hope this kind of puts it in a nutshell.

Dude take a deep breath and calm down.:eek1:


Growth patterns can / will be different in different tanks but there are certain characteristics that remain the same regardless. This not only happens in tanks it also happens on the reefs. I can think of several reason why you should not dump someone elses tank water into your tank but determining the look and growth patterns of a coral is not one of them.
