I like your tank! It looks really good.

Hey Glenn, it's not xenia, it's kenya tree coral which goes by a lot of other names as well.

[skipperawe]

oooooooo sorry

[tygger]

You can keep lots of cool things in a 12 gallon. Here is my 10 gallon

 

Curious... what type of lighting are you using for this tank?

If you meant my tank It did have two coralife 35w 10, 000k lo output T5. I have a new tank but that tank will go to my daughters school as a coral only tank soon.

Hey Bob, he lives across the road from me.

 

Glenn, the xenia can go south for a variety of reasons, although I don't know that anyone has proven or pinpointed any single cause as a culprit in most cases. That said, pH and nutrient levels in a tank are the typical problems (lack of nutrients as they eat up nitrates, keep them in dirtier water to keep them happier is a generalized theory).

 

How's all that stuff I gave you coming along?

 

 

well, all i have to say is he lives 45 minutes away! i went there and got some great frags. (gsp, clove, and many thins i dont know the name of)

 

here are some pics

 

my personaly made frag plugs out of the sps coral that shatered at mr. lins house

 

some small polyped coral that he gave me

 

these are the clove polyps he gave me.

 

this is my prized gsp

 

I hope you all like the pics, sorry i had to do them out of water

The 2nd one is variously known as 'encrusting gorgonian', and 'peach briareum', and various other names.

I have had that gsp in my tank for a long time and not a polyp is opening, is that normal?

It's common for it to close up occasionally, especially when moved to a new environment. Try moving it to another spot in the tank and see how it does.

well your right they are showing activity. However in my dad's 72 Gal. we have a mystery coral on our hands that looks like gsp, but is white. it is also on the same rock that had gsp on it before it was wiped out.

 

Here are some pics, look closely

Those are star polyps as well. (Pachyclavularia sp.)

???????? are they GSP??? Why arent they green!!!!!!!!

[Sugar Magnolia]

They aren't GSP, that would be green star polyps. Star polyps come in several different colors; tan, brown, green. The center color of the polyp can be white, yellow or green. Pachyclavularia violecea is the green variety. I have tan star polyps with a white center.

[skipperawe]

sooo..... where did i get them?? what do they do? How do you *** them?
