jeremai Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 So, I've been doing some digging around regarding the coral in the above post, Phyllangia americana. One source puts it in Caryophylliidae, the same family as Euphyllia spp. and Catalaphyllia. Interesting. I would have guessed Dendrophyllidae, but then looks are often deceiving in this hobby. Anyway, thanks to John at reefcleaners.com for the frag - or I guess the mother colony, as it turned out. Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Oooooh, neato! So what's the plan for this tank now? Link to comment
jeremai Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 plan? whatever I frag from the 56g, plus some random macros. Link to comment
jeremai Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 They seem happy. Also, this lil camera has some oomph. Link to comment
arwndsh Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 First picture makes me think of a baby plate. Second picture though makes me hesitent to label them as such because they look more like what is refered to as a cup coral that is normally found on florida live rock. Although the fleshy first picture makes me doubt this as well as the fact that they have some color. Which puts me back at baby plate for an id (are there even fungid that are native to the Atlantic since I'm assuming John found this locallly?). Question when they are annoyed can you see a skeleton? Could you take a picture of them when annoyed and post it for me please? And then theres the tiny one down on the bottom of the rock that well makes me question everything a little bit more. Good luck getting an id and when you do please let me know. Whatever it is is purty. Link to comment

arwndsh Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Sorry I missed that. I was kinda stressed out yesterday and rather incoherent in my thoughts as you can see So please just ignore me. Link to comment
jeremai Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=t...s&id=346430 Add "worms" to your google search So, who's to be believed - WoRMS or CITES? ITIS? GBIF? The URMO information (on WoRMS) is unaccepted as a replacement for Milne-Edwards and Haime, 1849 because the Cairns, Hoeksema & van der Land study was about European species, not Western Atlantic species. I've never referred to WoRMS for this very reason. They contradict themselves too much - for example, at the bottom of the page you linked to it cites the Milne-Edwards and Haime, 1849 paper as its source, which is clearly not what they referenced. Also, elsewhere on the site this page is found, lol. Sorry I missed that. I was kinda stressed out yesterday and rather incoherent in my thoughts as you can see So please just ignore me. aww, no worries. Link to comment
jeremai Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 NOM I really need more corals in this tank, lol. Link to comment
jeremai Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 thanks. I added some frags from the 56g, a little sarcophyton and some zoanthids. the caulerpa is taking over but I'll probably trim that back today. still no change in the codium. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 That's so weird on the Codium. Mebbe I should send you a bit of mine and see if it grows any better. Beautiful pic above, btw. Link to comment
jeremai Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 yeah, it's not growing, but it's not dying either. I was hoping it would fill out that corner of the tank so I didn't have to buy anything else to put there. paying cash for my new car kinda quashed my coral budget, lol. Link to comment
jeremai Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 ok, an update on the most boring tank in the world... some purdy zoanthids that are growing fairly quickly: and three shots of my Phyllangia feeding: and a video of said feeding time: Link to comment
