My New Scolymia Tank

[Bendalat]

Hello all,

 

I just moved my Scolymias to their own tank (less current, less light).

They seem happier with the new home.

If you have never been to see Khanh's tanks, it is worth a trip. He has an efflo that is simply mind blowing! I am a huge brain fan (insert own joke here), and the pictires he posted do not do the corals justice. They are absolutely beautiful.

Your back row does it for me- Blastos and trumpets/ candy canes. The Brains can grow and expand to take up huge protions of real estate. Seen Eddi's Scolymias feed heavily as well.

Great pics.
