Gilman Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 For the first time in many, many months, I purchased a new coral for our Minibow Nano reef. It is a small Fox Coral (about the size of a quarter when fully open) it was only $4.99 at our LFS. Liza has always wanted one of these things, and I figured that this would be the perfect opportunity to try one out. The ones I see at the store are usually much larger than this and there really isnt much room in our tank anymore for new things. Anyhow here is a shot of our newest Coral. Gil Link to comment

Gilman Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Full tank with it front and center. Didn't know what to do with it so I just stuck it in the sand up front. Link to comment
Gilman Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 I just like this shot. Thanks for the comments on our first coral in forever. Gil Link to comment
birdman204 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 seems like your clown is very interested in the new coral. It looks nice , and will no doubt be a centerpiece soon. Hi gil. Link to comment
brahm Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Those things are great, They don't like being in the sand face down AT all.. (found out the hard way when I went out of town my frag fell over..half of it melted in a matter of days) Link to comment
Gilman Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hi bird I dunno about it being a centerpiece anytime soon. Gunna be a while for sure heh. The clown just wants food. It is looking beyond the coral at the person with the camera thinking, more food please, more food please. Gil Link to comment

Blinkgyrl2987 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I've never seen one of those before! Nice pic though... it sure is cute! what kind of lighting do they need? Link to comment
Gilman Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 SLO we are going to be touring this summer, but we are starting over on the east coast. Not sure where we will be playing up in SLO. The fox coral seems to be doing ok under our "medium" lighting conditions. It has been in there for a while now, and it still hasn't really grown much at all. It opens up daily though and other than lack of new growth, it seems healthy. Gil Link to comment
