    North East Coral

    I received my first order from North East Coral a few days ago. WOW! Their specimens are beyond compare...healthy, gorgeous, and full. If it's possible, even more beautiful than the photos. The colors are otherworldly. Sometimes shipping in the winter can be a concern, but in this case...

    Ever Seen This New Nano?

    Does anyone have this nanotank? Or know anything about it? I saw it in the LFS and I'm in LOVE. It has a built in skimmer and ATO. It's rimless and has a pendant MH light. Apparently it's new and LFS guy said he saw it at a trade show and had to have it.

    Surprise!!! Thank you Drew!

    A few months ago I started a thread for an RS Community Tank/Friend Frag Project. My good friend ScubaDrew received a shipment with some free zoas. He didn't like the zoas at all so I told him to share them with me for my project. His reply "I'm not sure how I feel about being remembered...

    Advice Needed - Feeding a Kole Tang

    I just purchased a new Kole Tang. My other tank residents are a lawnmower blenny, royal gramma, oscellaris clown, and six line wrasse. I have a good bit of hair algae in the tank. I feed 1/4 of a mysis cube once a day or 1/4 of a cube of cyclops once a day (mix it up). The Kole...

    It's ALIVE!

    I bought a gorgeous colony of purple zoas. I didn't notice the red "tubes" on the rock until they opened and closed! Nothing comes out in the day or night and they look hollow. But they DO open and close periodically. What is it?? (Top right of the photo is the colony on the rock.)...

    My First Customer!

    My skunk cleaner shrimp finally got his first customer today (besides me...he loves to jump on my hand any time it's in the tank.) "Hey...this guy looks like he could use a good cleaning." "Here, let me get this little spot on your back." "If you would just roll over a...

    Once...twice...three times a fraggie

    OMG! Today was such a super special day. I had the most wonderful surprise this afternoon. I guess I should start at the beginning. My first friend on RS was lcstorc. Lynn (lcstorc) cheered me on when I was successful, comforted me when I had a set back, informed me when I had a question...

    What Are Tyree Corals?

    I've seen many listings for Tyree Corals and wondered if someone can tell me the origin of this name. Maybe you know of a website that explains it?

    Zoas Make Me Sick

    I was doing a water change and tank cleaning this morning. I knocked over my mother colony of zoas and without thinking I grabbed it with my bare hand. I cursed a little and put it back and finished siphoning. About 20 min. later I remembered because my hand started tingling. I thoroughly...

    OT: Anybody Use Flickr for their Tank Shots?

    My girlfriend introduced me to Flickr.com when she saw some of my reef tank shots. I love that you can comment on peoples photos and also order all kinds of neat things made of your pictures (like posters, note cards, business cards, magnets, pins, postage stamps, books, the list is...

    What is THIS?

    My blastos never really took off and I barely ever look at them. Over the past few days though I've noticed a bunch of polyps of a different kind overtaking the blasto skeleton. They remind me of xenia but they don't pulse at all. They are almost perfectly maroon and match the skeleton so...

    Close, Closer, Closest

    My yellow fiji leather doesn't often open ALL of his polyps so I took the opportunity to snap these pics. He really is stunning and probably the showpiece of my reef. Notice the change in color as I got closer? It is just the camera and not the coral. Weird.

    Put the camera down and step away from the tank
