ok, drumroll please!!!!!! No more teasing melanie, here are the Reds!!!!
They are awesome, pics suck, cant get the camera to focus really well. Also, notice the tan/green spot in the heart of the colony. I pushed on it when I first saw it, its hard, and when the white lights go off, IT GLOWS GREEN, its alive, Im not very good at hard corals, but i will try to describe it....Its flat, hard, looks like a mushroom, but obviously not. Cant tell if its a LPS or SPS...and sorry, cant get a better pic than that....i will try to find something similar to link to....enjoy!

and under actinics(this pic really sucks, camera wasn't wanting to take pics last night)

I have an encrusting coral that looks very similar to that. I think that it is either merulina, monti, or piorties. But I am no sure. Does it have ridges or texture to it?
OBTW Nice polyps. RED....really cool~Michael

tippMANn98 · 10-31-2007, 10:30 AM

It does have small ridges on the polyp tissue, kinda the same texture as an elephant ear shroom has...actually, i just found that it is a small Monti, i found a pic exactly the way it looks....

michael_cb_125 · 10-31-2007, 10:32 AM

Thats is kinda what I was thinking about mine.

Those ARE sweet!! You need to go ahead and start placing rubble on that rock now so they can grow over it and you can start fragging those

allen, at least these are more up my alley for fraggin, these should be a piece of cake for me.....what kind of care does that monti need?

Daniel, the monti's in my tank grow like crazy, no special care needed, med flow, med - high light seems to work great!

PM me your address so I can check out what shipping would be on that ric!

thanks!

Dont treat it any different that the zoos. It will do fine just about anywhere you put it. It needs the same type of environment as the zoos, otherwise it wouldnt be growing there.-Michael

Super sweet reds!

tippMANn98 · 11-01-2007, 10:49 AM

Well, for all of you Blue Snowflake listeners.....Here is the PROOF!!! pictures arent THAT good, but they are good enough....

Here is a closer, more like an ugly digital zoom shot, its acctually 3.5x the regular pic....

Here are the Ric. Frags, the blue Florida, and the 2 rainbow yumas:

Now what the original rics look like after cutting....

BigAl07 · 11-01-2007, 11:08 AM

Daniel those look SHARP! Very nice indeed! thanks for the pics buddy and keep an eye on that blue.... there should be more soon

Allen

ScubaDrew · 11-01-2007, 12:02 PM

Cassette87 · 11-01-2007, 12:41 PM
