Lots of new corals (56K warning)

[Lotus]

We went to the Southern California Reef A Palooza today. Here are the corals we got:

Favia

Blue mushrooms

Orange Bam Bam Zoas (with free aptaisia, by the looks of it)

Frogspawn (some tips are green, some are pink. Powerhead is off, so it looks floppy)

Devil's Armor Zoanthids

Some acans

An unknown mussid (if you know what it is, I'd love to know. It looks sick, I hope it recovers).

The whole bunch in my QT:

 

[Lotus]

Oops, forgot the candy cane

 

[ecotank]

Those are really nice...I bet some really goodlooking and very sweet man bought most of that for you?

And the pics came out really good too

You have some really good looking pieces there. Make sure you take care of the aiptasia before you put it in the display.

Thanks, and yes...whole reason for using a QT even for corals.

 

[Katie217]

Nice corals there! Eco sure is a nice guy heh

 

[CAPSLOCK]

That favia and acans are sweet! It was so nice of them to throw that aiptasia in for free

How come some are confined to glasses?

 

[IDunnoWhy]

Very nice! *thumbsups

Can't wait to see them in the Display tank!

How long do you QT corals for?

 

[Fuzz16]

wow...some of those are really nice.
did you get them for a decent price?

like the shot glass idea too...is it so they dont go floating around everywhere?
and those devil's armor zoos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

 

[TRe]

very very nice... how much did u spend??

 

[ecotank]

About $240 or so on everything, bought a bunch of "other stuff" as well, so not 100% sure.

Just had to get the Bad Goby T-shirts

 

[Lotus]

Yeah, the shot glasses are to support the candycane and frogspawn and to stop the little zoas from falling over on the frag plug.

I figured with all these corals from unknown vendors, it would be a good idea to quarantine.

 

[Lorna]

The one that you are questioning looks to be a lobophyllia hemprichii

what do you think?

 

[Lotus]

Thanks Lorna! I've been looking through all the books/sites to find exactly which one it is.

I think it could be. It looks a lot like this one: KN-Aquaristik "DER" Meerwasser-Shop

And this one: Untitled

Actually, mine doesn't look that sick when I see how others look. A little pale, but not too bad.

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

looking nice! my parents may or may not have kicked me out. i may or may not currently have food in my belly... will you take me in?

 

[Joe Fish]

Very nice looking additions. I really like the buttons.

 

[Lorna]

I am sure it is.......I have been eyeing this one to buy it....might just do it tomorrow.

5" Carpet Lobophyllia C-28 - C-28

I wonder if that it the true coloration as I haven't seen too many with this color pattern....

 

[FroggyFox]

how pretty!

 

[KahluaZzZ]

i want 'em all...alll!
