Wow, beautiful shape to that acro. Can't wait to see how it grows!

Playa · 01-04-2004, 12:00 AM

Craig I really dont know what it is to be honest, no one at the LFS knew either. Even the fellow that shipped the coral from Bali had no idea. I am taking a guess here: It looks like a Elegance that I saw in New Jersey last Summer, although it is branching not quite as flat as the Elegance.

Thanx Montana and TG.

Here is another angle at the coral, and even though the picture is not very clear you get an idea. This little Camera has no White Balance, so it is very difficult to capture better pictures. Add to that my lack of talent taking pictures and then you have what you see.

I hope either Travis or Robb will some day while visiting Florida, will ahve the chance to take some real photos.

But I still like to shoot fer fun.

One eye plate. What is the name of the Greek monster with one eye?

Craig Manoukian · 01-04-2004, 02:39 AM

Fabulous photos as always Luis. No matter that you don't have a positive ID, it's a beautiful specimen!

Your aquascape blows me away! All I can think of is cyclops (but don't think that's it). Awesome shot of that plate coral!!!

wow playa that is one awesome plate !!!! Incredible color... great job with the coral selection and placement

Maxx · 01-04-2004, 01:26 PM

TG is right it is cyclops (greek monster w/ one eye that attempted to eat Odyssyeus. Scylla was the many armed monster that lived across from Charbydis (sp?) who was the monster that sucked seawater in and blew it back out causing whirlpools that destroyed the ships and sailors lured by the Sirens songs....
Sorry I'm a geek...
Great photos Playa.....I dont think you need Travis to come take pics for you, (altho I wouldnt turn him down if he came over at all!!! Kinda like Brooke Burke coming over wanting to hang out.....uh...nevermind, this is rapidly sounding creepy...you get the point...)
I think you need a new camera Luis!

Is that photosynthetic?
I like it either way

Craig Manoukian · 01-07-2004, 01:04 AM

Bali high! Woweeeeeee!

Playa · 01-07-2004, 01:04 AM

No Sharks, it is not as far as I know. But this encrusting Montipora is :-).

Next to it is an unknown species of Montipora and towards the back there is a Jackelinae colony.
