Dryland Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pavona are cool corals you don't see that often- always wanted one of them too I really like the look of A. Lokani, but I am hesitant to get any acropora until I start seeing better results from of my M. Setosa. Though if I wait too long it will probably be illegal by then. Link to comment

Dryland Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Argh- don't say that! How is it going with that have you've heard- are we losing our hobby or Acros I'm not sure where things stand at the moment but I know we aren't in the clear. My understanding is that if it were to pass they could basically ban the sale and even ownership of certain species. I have also read that since the customs people aren't marine biologists, misidentification is a concern so the trend will be to reject corals that share a resemblance with the listed species, which would basically result in a prohibition on SPS.

Dryland Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Got an order coming in tuesday from legendary corals. Most of my existing coral is green, and with the tide fixture on the way I want a broader palette to illuminate, so I chose frags with an eye towards blues and pinks. Link to comment

Dryland Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just got an order in from the peeps over at Legendary Corals. This is the most securely packaged order I have ever received. The frags were inside vacuum seal bags, and each plug had a little plastic condiment container to prevent the coral from touching anything (like a rabies collar). I'll get some pictures this evening when the lights come on. IMG_3116 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment

Dryland Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Very nice- like that fts! That chalice is really nice. How's your Trach been doing- staying in place? Thanks! The trachy seemed pretty content to be nudged up against the plate, but I decided to move them apart this evening just in case. Awesome! I can't wait to see how that zoa turns out, man. Great FTS! Thanks, I'm excited too. Hopefully it grows quickly. Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 I scored an aquacultured percula from my LFS yesterday.. He is a quick little dude and I couldn't get him into focus: IMG_3158 by dryland970, on Flickr As far as names I am still undecided between 1) Perculese 2) Leonard Nemoy and 3) Chancho.

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 if I had a vote I'd go with Chancho! they are tough to photograph for sure! Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah, I like Chancho too. It's also the only one that isn't a pun. Chancho it is. Link to comment

Thanks dude, there is still a lot to be done but I'm enjoying every minute of it. Here is a (slightly) better shot of El Chanchito: IMG_3206 by dryland970, on Flickr Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 So I'm sitting here surfing the forums this morning, and I look over at my tank and this is happening: IMG_3216 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_3213 by dryland970, on Flickr IMG_3214 by dryland970, on Flickr The trachy is moving fast enough to watch, it's almost as fast as a snail.

Sk8n Reefer Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Dang ! Moving along- do they fight when they come in contact? who's the winner? Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Dang ! Moving along- do they fight when they come in contact? who's the winner? I would say that it qualifies as fighting, that or the trachy just really wanted to be in the same spot as the fungia. I moved the plate this time, so if he tries to steamroll it again that will be proof of prior intent. Link to comment
