Aquabacs Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Nice spiralis Here is some reading for you Black Corals Part I Black Corals Part II I dont believe the Cirrhipathes spiralis that have been coming in are true non-photosynthetic corals. They have had a higher success rate in aquariums that had higher lighting than low lighting. They do require the same feeding regime though. Mike Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Do you have a FTS? I'll get one soon. My red plate is in rehab in another tank and the spiral coral hasn't been placed in it's final location yet. I just put it close to the glass for pics. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 It grows in a crazy corkscrew shape and is non photo so it eats mysis and cyclopeze. Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 It grows in a crazy corkscrew shape and is non photo so it eats mysis and cyclopeze. Oh. Another thing you have that I don't. Oh well. Is the new chalice a bazooka joe? Or tyree red/pink? Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Is the new chalice a bazooka joe? Or tyree red/pink? To tell the truth, I don't know. The guy I got it from was calling it watermelon chalice. All I knew was it was colorful and it had a good price. If someone knows what it is, please tell me. Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 To tell the truth, I don't know. The guy I got it from was calling it watermelon chalice. All I knew was it was colorful and it had a good price. If someone knows what it is, please tell me. I think it's one of the two I mentioned. I've been searching for one. I don't really like chalices in general but they look sweet when they drape over a rock. Just hate it when they stay on disks on the sand. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yeah I usually don't like chalices too much but this one id electric- literally, it plugs into any ordinary wall socket. Anyhow, it looked cool so I bought it. Maybe make some $$$ with frags too. Link to comment
