yep... I betcha I know the one...... I hate going there..... but they do have nice looking fish...... is it on the Golden mile??

these are the pics on ebay... PLEASE tell me that it is a blue xenia...... the one I got sure looks like one(doesn't look exactly like the picture)..... its pretty stressed at the moment so give it a couple of days and I'll get a good pic of it...... I want you guys to check it to make sure that is what I have....... hopefully when I get my *new* light system it will *perk* up for me http://www.thewebcastle.com/__ReefPics/

I'm in love....... its SOOOOOOO beautiful!!! small but beautiful!!!!!

i will try to get a pic......... because I certainly want someone here to validate what I bought is truly what I got....... I sure hope it is *fingers crossed* and I can do justice to it..... if it is very big when I get it I may ask someone from here to take a small piece of it and raise it........ so if I goof it up I would have a backup

I got it from Ebay....... "Blue CESPITULARIA xenia coral" he emailed this evening stating it would arrive tomorrow and also stated he would also include..... "small frag of what is commonely called blue anthelia or vietnamiese blue xenia. It is also naturally blue but will take on an amazing purple color " I am looking forward to getting it....... pictures that I have found of the blue xenia are beautiful......

I am suppose to be getting a Blue Xenia delivered tomorrow...... I won't be getting my new lights for about 5 days...... will this coral be OK under 1 - 20K coralife bulb for those 5 days??? thats all I have right now *pout* any special treatment for this coral??

AWESOME....... thank you SO much!!!.........again....... The explanation of the lights gives me an idea of what to expect with the bulbs........ UPDATE: just placed my order and now trying to patiently wait for the stuff Thanks again for your help!!!

Thank you SO much for your opinion...... I really appreciate your time in helping me with this decision.... I am SO scared of making this investment(over $200) and then not getting what I need...... soooo if I get this fixture(which I will) .... the light bulbs that come with it sufficent?? 6500K ??? I will be getting the 39" fixture......so if I understand correctly, which I probably don't .... the higher the 'K' the better(bluer)???? so I should get 4 of the "39W 11000K Aquablue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent" right???? or should it be 2 of them and 2of the 6500k(daylight)?? oh wait....... now I see a 12000K bulb......... UGH..... this is what confuses me...... help??? before I go

I'll take "B" ... I am not much on DIY..........

low light to medium light corals........

For my 30g. tank...... would this light fixture be OK or would you recommend something else. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod...p;N=2004+113175 I am still alittle confused on the lighting stuff so any help you can lend me is greatly appreciated....

I went to a LFS nearby today... heard about it at work and wanted to ck out the stuff....... there was a Suncoral there for $42 and it had many, many polyps on it........ I gave $44 for mine in Frederick and it is a THIRD size of this on in Hagerstown!! (Pugh's)...... I would have loved to had it but the feeding of the one I got is enuff for me anyone heard how their fish are?? I didn't see too many there(saltwater that is) but was curious about the health of the fish... If the price of the peppermints (12.99 ea) is any indication.... !

got another Sun Coral Question..... the colony is doing quite well now..... eating like little piggies there are small polyps close to the bottom edges of the colony and I can't seem to get anything to them... when the polyps eat are they feeding the colony or is it 'every polyp for himself'.... ?

for a newbie like myself....... would you put a name with the pics? they are all beautiful but I want to be able to recognize them by name ........

my bad...... sorry...... I have the pom pom Xenia....... don't know why I put Anthelia...... is the lighting enough??? and I have low PH so that might have something to do with it..... suppose to get stuff Friday to raise the PH....... This tank started out a Seahorse tank(was going to buy Seahorses after Xmas)....... but I *really* like the reef stuff.......

I bought a Sun Coral yesterday... I love them and now I am frustrated and afraid I will lose it....... it hasn't opened fully yet but did a little this morning.... when I tried feeding it mysis with the turkey baster it closed up again .... is there a secret to feeding this thing??? do you feed with long tweezers to each polyp ( or reach in with hand and feed each polyp) or wait till its completely open and 'wash' it with the mysis.......??? I also got a anthelia (pom-pom) and geezzzzzz I must be the ONLY ONE that can't raise them.... its hasn't started pulsing.... any suggestions??? I only have 10K lights but I have it as close to them as I can get them...getting 20K tomorrow-will that help?? or am I just being impatient and all will be well once they get used to the move?

WOW thats not far from where I work..... Dulles Airport....... gotta try to find this place some Lunch hour

WOW!! very nice!!!

Thank you, M'Lord *ML bows*
