All right.
We should have lots of entries this month.

I was thinking of entering this pic I took last night of my Rics but Not sure yet.
I am still experimenting with my new camera and macro lens

Jeff,
Nice Rics, they look great.
I see the camera is treating you well...Nice Pics.

Are any of those from Sharkys?
How is the red monti doing?

Those Rics are all from Sharkey's Reef except for 5 of em that I got from flricordia here on RS.

The monti is doing well. Trying to mount it to my LR I of course broke a few ends off put I mounted those on another rock and they are growing well too.
I'll have to get some updated pics of them both on my 55g tank's thread.

I uploaded some pics of the Monti

Mine probably won't win, but what the heck? I like the picture - I think it's one of the only good ones I've taken of my tank. There's even my hammer and Mr. Smith in the background going along for the ride.

bigfish · 03-23-2008, 07:29 PM

This is the kind of pictures i could take B4 i dropped my camera into a bucket of RO water!

I was sold this as Xenia~ i think it is creeping xenia but a friend of mine argued with me that it isnt xenia so ??? Enjoy!

framerguy · 03-23-2008, 08:18 PM

Do LPS count as soft, such as elegance corals?

panmanmatt · 03-23-2008, 08:22 PM

Bigfish, that looks more like anthelia, Xenia has a central stalk witht he polyps coming off that (the pic above your's). Anthelia is more of a mat like structure with individual stalks for each polyp.

bigfish · 03-23-2008, 08:25 PM

that is what my friend was telling me..... but google beautiful pink creeping xenia and they look identical! well never mind here is a pic! not mine or for photo contest!

panmanmatt · 03-23-2008, 08:27 PM

It is commonly called a xenia bit it is not a true xeniad. Common names make things extremely confusing and difficult some times.
