Nice finds! Merry Christmas to yourself eh?

SaltwaterTeen · 01-01-2005, 12:57 PM

the 1st one looks like a green stylophora, is it? I got a green stylo and it is great!

Seritopora's and Stylo's can be similar, but that is a Seritopora caliendrum.

Thanks Maxx, I'm kinda new to all the different names & species of SPS. Now that i look at it, a birds nest has more crooked branches. I just rearranged my whole tank to put thes in the main reef. These pics were taken in my frag tank. Cant wait for it to grow!

SueT · 01-01-2005, 07:26 PM

Birdsnest is the common name and seriatopora is the scientific name. It's the same coral. Caliendrum is a thicker branched, more rouned tips coral than hystrix which has more pointed tips. I don't think the second pic is an acropora tenuis though.

Nice stuff anyway...

No worries =) you have to have you priorities straight =), being LORDS! =).

Here is my new baby, its much more intense then these pics show, I have to get some new shots!

Pics look a lot cooler in high res, here is one, dont worry about the dust everywhere in the lens/sensor =(.

High Res

Sweet pic Chris!!!!!!!
Is that a true purple bosai or something similar, I hear the GARF version is a super slow grower.
It doesnt look big enough to frag yet, HEHE............

Thanks bro! Its supposed to be the same thing as the Garf. Its weird, I just went on a freaking hunt for it, and now, its like the sps to get hehe. Seems to always work out like that. I have a guy who had a colony from Garf, but it started to rtn, he saved three pieces he said. He came here last week said I can have one, so I'm gonna go pick it up soon.

Maxx · 01-02-2005, 01:48 PM

Mane,
That looks super sweet...You dont wanna know how many frags I'm now going to be pestering you for.....Its just gonna be ugly. Total and complete begging that will border on degradation....

I agree,the second pic isn't a tenuis but pretty cool IMO

mane3215 · 01-02-2005, 06:03 PM
