took a dremel to my acan lord colony tonight. Check out the frag on the left side. About 4 full polyps and 2 halfies.

everything was going great until my hand slipped and the dremel accidentally mangled one of the polyps on the right side a little:

=/ oh well. I'm sure they'll heal. they still look good considering the pic was taken like 5 minutes after fraggin. =)

Wow. thanks for the very kind words, livingreef2004! And thanks for the welcome.

I got both clams from killercorals.com. The guy who runs it is WAY cool and he gets nice stuff in from time to time. I've been impressed by all his clams thus far. most of the stuff they dont post on the website tho.

And here's some progression pics...the first pic is a little after I transferred everything from my via aqua 28g to my current set-up.

I've gone thru a lot of re-aquascaping attempts and added LR gradually throughout the entire process. I'm finally at a point where I feel satisfied w/ my rockwork and the amount of LR. =)

Up until recently, I was using a Sony Cybershot 2 MP.

Now I'm using a Nikon 4100 - 4MP...the pictures are so much better w/ the Nikon. I also use a tripod now and that has improved my photos tenfold.

well, that and actually learning how to take reef shots more effectively from another reefer.

well, wish me luck this weekend...i'm gonna go down to the bay area and hit up as many quality stores as i can and try to find some lord(or something equally as nice!). if i don't find anything i guess i'll buy a dremel and frag the hillae. :D

Green Sun Coral!

I've been lookin for a sun coral w/ some less common colors. Finally found one!

Here's my newest addition up close (a bad picture tho):

And some more showing it's great green color!

Hard to take a really good pic of these guys since they are in a shaded area. But they have a deep green body w/ light/lime green polyps!

He already opened up for me the first day in my possession. I can't wait to see it fully extended tho. will post pics when it does. =)

Congratulations!! Nice~~ I've never had a sun coral. I hear they are high maintenance when it comes to feeding them.

Thank you! They do require frequent target feeding and such, but since I have to do all that stuff w/ my acan anyway, I figured it wouldn't be that much more work.

Very cool! There is a thread on RC where someone was able to bring back a whole colony of Black sun coral polyps that were in really bad shape. It required alot of attention, but she did good. If you want, I can try and dig that thread up, and post you a link to it...
