eitallent Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Awesome! That's great compared to the $50 the Drs. make you pay! Once I get my tank i'll definetly order from you! I know! That is a really good deal on shipping. Now I wish I lived back in Miami/Kedall! No shipping and all the coral I could dream of!! I gotta get me one of these! Link to comment
eitallent Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 More peektures: Remember you can always click to enlarge all of these and previous picture. This is so you can see the whiskers on Skipper! Umbrella Rhodactis all the way in the back. One of my faves and very resilient Zoas, I think Utter Chaos. Please correct me! Mean Green Zoas on the left. This pic came out exceptionally clear, Radioactive Dragon Eyes or Aquaman? Any one? Mint Chocolate Chip? Chili Pepper shrooms from PEA Tiny bubble mushroom King of all he surveys... Wait Skipper you are surveying in the wrong direction! Link to comment

llama roadkill Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What? Why is that? Wouldn't you love to drive around in an absurd clownfish car? They called it a Nemo! CLOWNISH AREN'T NEMOs! My family still calls Blue Hippo Tangs "Dory". You can imagine my pain and disappointment. Link to comment
eitallent Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Oh, I see. I feel your pain. btw I would not mind it at all if all citron gobies were hence forth called Skippers! Just throwing it out there... Link to comment

eitallent Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have heard that about Citrons. Skipper leaves the little sps in may tank alone. Maybe he just does not like the variety of sps in MyAtlantis. He may like the more expensive stuff though! IDK Unlike Skipper who does not have access to rare SPS to eat, this stomatella is living the good life. Jacuzzi bubble bath,,, aaahhhh! Link to comment

watercrawl Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nice pictures!!I wonder if my stomatella didn't come from you. Thanks if they did!! Link to comment
eitallent Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nice pictures!! I wonder if my stomatella didn't come from you. Thanks if they did!! It probably did. I tried to give you a clump with life in it. I have dozens crawling around the macros, glass and rock. During the tank transfer I found the Stomatella's ancestral shells. They were big for stomatellas too. They are so busy eating all the time. I am really careful when I remove excess chaeto not to take out any creatures with it. Thank you for stopping by, Adam.

Felicia Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Aw, shucks Felicia. Thanks for the kind words. Your pictures are what got me inspired to get a better camera and take tutorials on line. Aww! Well I'm sure flattered! You've far surpassed my photo abilities now though! I just use a little point and shoot and I haven't studied much at all about photography. My method is just to take a ton of photos and hope one turns out good Link to comment

Reef Goddess Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 My family still calls Blue Hippo Tangs "Dory". You can imagine my pain and disappointment. Lol I know exactly what you mean, sometimes I still get customers that call them nemos and dorys. It was really bad when the movie first came out. Link to comment

eitallent Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 The polyps on my new leathers are not opening still today. The Tyree green polyp has peeked out a few briefly. The green glow toadstool leather has not so much as even peeked out on polyp. How long does it take for them to get comfy? I have them on the sand bed, with moderate to flow. Do they need more light; ie higher up placement? Link to comment

I got a new one several weeks ago that had one polyp extended for the first time yesterday, and today it had a them all slightly poked out, but not fluffy or colorful. Okay. Thanks for letting me know. Today 70% of the Tyree green polyps were out and so greeeen. Pretty. The little gree glow toadstool is still closed up. The kids surprised us and came home for the weekend! Fun! I feel bubbly like this: Link to comment
eitallent Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Here are some pics from outside the aquarium. A gaggle of geese glean all they can from grass seed stalks. Hunting for tasty morsels in the grass looking flashy Look at me and my bad self! The Peahen is drab but still she holds all the cards ... Oh, dear! I lost a feather... A Catalpa tree fights for sunlight with a Black Walnut tree. Sedum Autumn Joy cutting The drought several summers past took its toll. This was a lovely sycamore. Now it is a wood pecker's playground. This great oak is huge, old and provides a large shady spot where the horses loaf. Link to comment
