Love the polyps. I saw a collection of a mixed colony once, with about 10 different types, all mixed in well and alternated. It was really cool looking.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

the coralline on your overflow didn't like the "no water" part of the process

 

[S.Reef]

How many Maroons do you have?

 

[RockingCricket]

Am assuming that unlike mushrooms, the zoo's need a lot more light. *laughingc Looks awesome.

 

[yamahaguy06]

Looks good man, and an official congrats on moving to Cali. *DRUMMER* *celebrate *DRUMMER*

 

[RockingCricket]

The Maroon looks very dark in colour. Almost black. Is that your camera or is he really that dark?

 

[dbacksrat]

actually rockingcricket, zoas need about the same amount of light...they are some of the easier corals to keep

Wow, Camaro, looking great after the move, especially the zoos.

My macro scroll is coming back like gangbusters, let me know if you're still interested. Probably be another couple weeks before I can give you a big patch of it with the root.

Thankyou dback, that's awesome to hear. I thought I was just limited to mushrooms with my current lighting. It appears that Zoa's will give a much better display (judging by Camero's system). I've got something else to read up on now. *celebrate

cricket: the maroon is pretty much that dark. she was much more redish when i got her but has gotten quite dark.

Sam: I only have one maroon...ive been tempted to get a second but have not yet done so

as far as zoas vs mushrooms I like both but there are certainly more color variations of zoas

why do you think she is so dark? i have read that pairing maroon clowns prove to be difficult and to get the smallest one you can find and introduce it to her and if she dont like it to pull it out and try again hours later and if after the 3rd time you should forget that particular one if she didnt take to it and try another. that is why i bought mine as a pair.. seems odd her being so big and him being half her size,, lol,, i guess women have to have the upper hand sometimes.. lmao j/k

 

[Fish Friend]

that looks really good.... do you have any of those algae bubble or watever they are... i think they look cool

 

[1979camaro]

i don't know why she is so dark, there are always color variations and i have seen many in stores which are that dark. she is still clearly maroon

algae bubbles? if you mean vallonia then yes i have one small bubble

euphyllia

this guy did really well during the move. I put it in a tall cylindrical tupperware type container and floated it using styrofoam banded to the skeleton. i fully expected it to become damaged in the process but it arrived in perfect shape

 

[dbacksrat]

I love your euphyllia...I'll be downtown tomorrow and I hope to pick one up

that's a pretty ingenious shipping method

 

[1979camaro]

thats basically how shippers do it, they float them up side down in bags

 

[aresgod]

any LFS should do it that way too, any euphyllia should be handled that way, even when your taking it home. That is when alot of damage can happen if its banging around and beating up on the heads

 

[Mushroomman]

Is euphyllia also known as frogspawn? or is it like a hammer coral or something

 

[1979camaro]

euphyllia is a broad classification for frogspawn, torch, hammer, etc...this is euphyllia divisa (frogspawn). they are classified based on polyp structure b/c they all share the same skeletal structure
