If anyone knows what it is lemme know




FTS


Thanks!!

Heeeeeeey! Oculina!
Oculina robusta, found only around Tampa Bayand the western gulf coast

Hey thanks roger! I knew I could count on you to know
do want some Oculina? or do u have already?

It's bleached on a few place from how they had it in the bin...
but i can see polyps which is a good thing.

the ric garden looks awesome!
i wish mine would grow like that but the emerald crab snacks on them late at night...

Ya musta read my mind! Don't worry too much about the bleached areas. Oculina is one of those unique corals that can take or leave zooxanthellae. Typically here, in the winter, it turns ivory white, then when it warms up turns back brown. What we have here is Oculina diffusa, so lke a true collector I'd love some of the robusta. Both can be gotten on the aquacultured rock from around Tampa. Cool find!
Oh, and your tank is looking great. Better in the daytime than at night! (referencing your monthly FTS )

Thanks jarred!
catch the emerald! that's crazy lol



Thanks!
That was a bad pic lol but I wanted to post for the rules
It is good to know that it will color back up, I fed my tanks phyto last night and they all had their polyps out
i fed Squishy some mysis too

So post up some good pics today!!!
Looks like that ruffly reddish Macro from organism is growing well for you.
I just recently redid my 'scape and put both organism Macros to points high on the aquascape, we'll see how they do.

Nice update M. Your tank is looking HOT! Looks like you barely got those pics in just on time.

you know those pics are sitll better than most of us can pull off. tank looks great.

It is growing great Wetie. I fragged it once already and will be fragging another piece off this week.
Both of organism's macrsos def love high light.
I will post some new pix on Friday



Thanks opy!
I really thought I would not make the deadline



Thanks bitts!

Awesome tank! Love the Oculina. I would ask for a frag of it for my university tanks (my adviser is a huge name in Caribbean corals), but I don't know if legally they could have it....

Why wouldn't they? I got it legally lemme know!!
Yardboy is getting his piece fo' sho'

Thanks for looking!!

M

That is a real beauty!

Thanks Mudfish!!

Tell me please, are there like Chinese population type numbers of pods in this tank?

love your tank, i'm a sucker for tanks with macro in it.

Yes there are!
when I went fishless last month it was crawling with pods...they were so big that I was feeding them mini pellets and I could see them carry the pellets around with their front legs
When I added "50" (RIP) they slowly disappeared, I would see him hunting for the pods...it was pretty cool.




Thanks Duncan! so am I

Mandarin?

tank is looking awesome!!

Uh oh... He has opened the box!

Hee Hee!

In a 10g it would wipe pods out in a day
