Two different GSP versions ... it's actually interesting, on the right, the matte is purple and has purple stalks that extend away from it. On the left, the matte is whitish, and the no stalks that extend ... its just flat.

Newest addition to the BioCube - they were just introduced to the water at the moment the photo was taken, I assume the sweeper tentacles will settle down once it acclimates itself to the new water conditions.

Hey Bonsai, I'm enjoying going through your threads. Couple questions again:

 

What color bulbs are you running here?

I've only been growing my zoa's on the rocks...how do they do on the sand substrate? I'm guessing if they grow well they would be very easy to frag off the soft substrate...ever tried?

Do you add Calcium for the acan/torch/candy cane? if so, how much/often?

Any mod's on your BioCube?

I've have some of what I thought were "Eagle Eyes", but they look just like your Wammin' Watermelons...I just looked at the photos on zoaid.com and I cant really tell the difference between the two. Do you have an opinion on this?

 

And I agree w/ Zombo...those Fire and Ice are really nice! Are you getting your zoa's from nano-reefer's or an online retailer?

The newest addition to my tank.

Just curious but what is this. I also have the same Biocube and I think this would look great in there once I get my cycle finished.

That's a Hammer (euphyllia).

Bonsai gets his stuff online and from the Greatest LFS in MI, Preuss Pets! :naughtydance:

 

LoL - nice plug for Preuss.

 

The Rics all came from Sea Life, Inc. The zoas, with the exception of the Radioactive Dragon Eyes and the Fire & Ice came from Alti's Reef. I also go the GSP, Kenya Tree, and Anthelia from Alti's Reef.

 

The rest is from Preuss :)

 

The Indo Acans are from a local reefer.

I had a nice frogspawn branch coral in my 14 gallon BC before it crashed. I'm restarting my tank and hoping to get a nice looking reef going.

 

You have a nice variety of corals in your tank. I like it a lot.
