NanoReefer53 Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Well, my uncle just gave me a huge (according to me) acro colony today. It was blue but then started turning brown in his tank so he gave it to me since I have halides. I believe it's a humulis, and I hope its blue/purple colors come back. The coolest part is that there's 2 crabs living inside the acro and protecting it. Anyone know what to feed these ? It's at the bottom of the tank right now so it can aclimate to the higher lighting. So happy ! Here's some pics, sorry for the bad quality. The camera was free and hey, u get what u pay for Link to comment
Toyfreek Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Wow that is a nice free coral colony. The crabs, can you describe them alittle? http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/showt...light=acro+crab Or like this? http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/attac...p?postid=605342 or like this? http://webpages.charter.net/mikeries1/200g/crab If it has a mask amd he is whitish/tan he is a good guy. I have heard that blue eyed hairy ones are bad, I dunno about red eyed ones. HTH, Toy Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 ok, one of them seems to be white so I guess he is good. there is another one though that's pretty small. About 1cm across, he's brown right now but not hairy. I'll keep a close eye on the brown guy incase he grows up to become hairy Link to comment

NanoReefer53 Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 hmm...looks like the little brown one's evil so i guess he's gotta go Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Oh man thats a nice piece of SPS you got there. And Very big one too. I think the colour should return. It would look aweseom when the blue colour returns. Hmmm...Acros...mmmm ---One day I will have an SPS tank --- Link to comment
