DrHank's Tank's

[DrHank]

Well, the big tank is still at the glass shop but hopefully I'll have it back soon. Spent some time taking a few pics of what's going back in it when it's set back up so here goes.



I started out with about 4 Green Palys on this rock a year ago.



These zoas started out as about a half dozen. The giants were from flricordia. Also if you look at the bottom right that's a blue ric from another reefer and some red centered greens again the zoas from flricordia.



This is my clown (I'll probably add another) that I hope will eventually host my GBTA. He's a juvie and not hosting anything yet.



My frogspawn is one of my favorites. I got it as a 2 head in Pensacola about a year ago. It's now 5 heads and going strong. You can also see some yellow polyps, red shrooms and a red/green caulestra.



And finally, my GSP's. Started out as a 1/2" square frag. Now it's about a 4" rock. This stuff grows like weeds.

Great Growth! That fogspawn and GSP makes me want your tank!

[Melanie]

Some beautiful specimens! Do you have any before and after photos? It would be fun to see the changes side by side.

[DrHank]

I'm afraid I don't. It would have been kind of neat to see the growth. I guess that I go by how much of the rock they are on that they are covering. The only thing that hasn't grown much is the toadstool. It came with the live rock whrn I first set the 110 up in May 2006. Everything else has been added since.

[Dentoid]

Nice to see your specimens! They look great.

[flricordia]

I forgot about the pink panthers. They look great and I can't believe the growth. Looks good Doc. Look forward to seeing the new one setup once you get it back. And don't know if you caught the message the other day, but if you want the hydnophora to frag up come and get it.

[DrHank]

Didn't get the message. I appreciate the offer but think I'm going to pass. I've heard too many bad things and really don't want to take the chance. Thanks anyway Mike.

[tbittner]

Beautiful tank, Doc! Can't wait to see how you setup your big tank.

[hma]

Some beautiful animals and a wonderful tank, your zoas and frogspawn too are beautiful.

[DrHank]

Thank you all. Here are a couple of more that I didn't post before.

My finger coral and a few more zoas. I'm not sure what you call them but I love the green color.


And this is my peach scroll, one of my blur rics and a brain in the background. Oh and a bit of a white bubble that Ive had since I got the live rock.

Plus a nosy looking damsel that just had to get in the picture.

Hey Doc, did I see a pic of a WHITE BTA with your name attached? Did you get your nem?

[Techno-Vicki]

Hey, nice looking corals and very healthy! I had a hydrophora once in a quiet place away from other corals. Like many corals, they just need space. It was close to the sand bed and the maroon clown kept moving sand around and eventually buried it completely.

[Melanie]

Those bright green zoas really POP!

[BigAl07]

Those greens really do Pop! as Melanie put it. Impressive indeed.

Are they "radioactive" greens?

Yes Kathy, I did get a GBTA. One of the guys in our local reef club was taking down his tank and brought it an a piece of rock. No one else either wanted it or had a tank established long enough to take it. I figured that I had to chance it (someone had to give it a home). I'm just glad that my tank was established enough and that I had the lighting for it.

Vicki, that seems to be the case for all corals. Everything I had was doing wonderfully in my 210. When I had to take it down all got crammed into a 110 and a 65. I just wouldn't have the space to try a hydrophora.

Melanie, yes they do really pop. They are my favorites and would you believe that I only paid $10 for the colony.

Al, I honestly don't know what you call them. I just know I like them.
