65 Gallon Journal

Yeah, I'm keeping the xenia away from other rocks as it grew fast in my last tank.

In the pic of the zoas, the orange-ish ones are hypnotics. What is the green skirt one with orange center?

 

[TRe]

check out zoaid.com (they actually changed to coralpedia) theyr usually pretty good as far as finding out the actual name

CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!

I think those are called Dragon Eyes.

 

[TRe]

if u go by what vivid aquariums has in stock id say they look like the "sunfire"
btw those hynotics dont really look like they do on ther site, they look more like the "flame polyps"...i hate when that happens!

 

[Joe Fish]

I think your right tre. After futher investigations though I found I have flames(not sure if they are flame. don't know what they are though), hypnotics, and sunfires! I only see two hypnotic though. A few more are just starting to open so maybe I got a few more. Still only 1 blue tub has opened. Hopefully they grow fast!

 

[Joe Fish]

Here are a few additions to my tank. A couple came from a local psu professor and a couple came from an old LFS I visited over the weekend. I'm not sure what the 2nd pic is... It was only a few bucks and I won't be back in my old neighborhood for at least a year.

nice hammer, not sure what the 4th or 5th pic is either? .. What color monti is the last 1 supposed to be?

 

[Joe Fish]

Well, it looks orange in that picture, but it's a green one with some purple edges. the 4th is a green pipe organ, 5th is a softie sinularia brassica" which is a tan/brown fuzzy sinularia. It nice because it doesn't get big and branchy like others do. The acro is also a blue,green,brown color. My camera doesn't take good actinic pics.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

2nd pictures looks like Blasto or Elegance. Nice gabs.

 

[Joe Fish]

Yeah, the last 3 were free! I thought it might be an elegance, but i'm not sure. Maybe after a few days i'll be able to tell better.

 

[zoalover34]

Elegance was my first thought as well

 

[Joe Fish]

Here are my 2 latest additions... From Petco....

 

[TRe]

nice brain! oh and in that other pic it doesnt really look like an elegance but not sure what it is :/

 

[Joe Fish]

Well, I just place another order with Vivid Aquariums. I can't wait to get it tomorrow!

On the list:

2 bangaii cardinals
Randalls Goby
Sun Coral
Tiger Tail
Cleaner Shrimp
Magenta Stylophora
Red & Green Blastomussa
Darth Maul Aussie Lord

I'm looking for a few different colors in my tank so these should help!

 

[zoalover34]

Going to give the cardinals another try eh?

 

[Joe Fish]

Yeah, 3rd times the charm, right? So far they are still swimming about in QT and appear to be OK. I'll have to see if they eat today.

 

[Joe Fish]

Here is what I got. I didn't get a pic of the randall's goby yet though.

It's supposed to be a Darth Maul, but I don't think it is. Anyone have a name for it?

Red & Green micro

 

[Joe Fish]

Great... the cucumber died!

 

[TRe]

nice! well the corals not the cuc dying...

 

[Joe Fish]

I just placed an order for a new tiger tail... I need something to clean up my sand bed!
