MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I think this is what the dendro like coral is.http://reefguide.org/carib/smoothflowercoral.htmlI also think the brain is a symmetrical brain. Very cool! Did it hitch hike on your new rock or where you able to buy it separately? I'll have to add that to my wish list for my next tank. Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 It was on the rock when I bought it. Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Still no sign of K. I am now convinced that he jumped and one of my dogs made a snack of him. I got a text from my "dealer" yesterday, he got in a new shipment of rock the other day and found these beauties in it. I'll be picking up one this weekend. Thinking about getting the one on the top of the picture. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Sorry to hear about Kraken. The one above looks like the color of dragon's breath! pretty alright!!! Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I can't wait to go check them out, theres a chance that the lightest one could be an Odontodactylus havanensis. If that's the case, I'll be getting that one. We will see! I'll be posting a picture as soon as I get one of them. Link to comment
Maniu Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Sorry about Kraken D But at least you didn't get discouraged Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm not going to lie, I thought about taking the tank down. Link to comment

RnMB1988 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Nice score Dixie!! Will be following this adventure too! Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Here's a better picture of Garnnet, I can't get over how pretty she is. She's taken up residency underneath the new rock and she's been smashing away all day. Hopefully she will have a personality like Kraken and come out and wander around all the time like he did.

FlowerMama Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 She really is Pretty in Pink! What's her size? Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 She's about an inch and a half, a little smaller than K. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Awesome little girl you got there. I wonder if she'll stay pink or suddenly turn a beautiful green at first molt like my friend's mantis did... and then back to pink after the next molt. LOL. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Awesome little girl you got there. I wonder if she'll stay pink or suddenly turn a beautiful green at first molt like my friend's mantis did... and then back to pink after the next molt. LOL. lol, an outfit for every occasion Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 She'll probably change colors but I really hope she doesn't! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It would be cool if she stayed in the pink family, mauve, magenta and the like. Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 The scape of this tank has been bugging me for a while so I changed it completely. I took the pvc out and created a rock pile with a small overhang. I like this look way better. I tried getting a picture this morning but I get a lot of reflection on the glass so I'll get a picture tonight. I am hearing an awful a lot of popping coming from her tank. She's either doing some renovating herself or she's found where the hitchhiker crab is hiding. Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Garnnet is very timid, I haven't seen her come out of the rocks yet. She did take a piece of krill off of the skewer a few days ago and she tried again last night but the fish scared her enough to forget about the food. I'm going to withold food for a few days and see if she comes out to explore. Link to comment
RnMB1988 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Very very nice scape Dixie!! I love the place you found for that rock from John, right up front!!! Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I needed to put it up top so the brain could get more light from my whimpy 1w leds lol Link to comment
dixie reefer Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Finally managed to get a picture of Garnnet! She is incredibly fast! She smelled the food and flew out of her cave, smacked the stick, and flew back into her cave before I knew what happened! She came back out and I was able to get the picture before she went and snatched the food from the skewer and went back into hiding. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My gosh, I just really love her feminine color! soooooo pretty. Link to comment
