metrokat Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 How's the repairs coming along? What repairs. Still waiting for an "incident report" from management who is dragging their feet. Meanwhile the estimator for reconstruction is coming today. 2 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Fenneri Is that similar to a red dragon, but with green polyp instead of white? Looks so cool! All other pics are great too! Quote Link to comment

They are rarely seen in the hobby according to Reef Builders, but the most recognized name might be the pacman acro. Mine was a lighter color when it first arrived, it browned out in QT, then in very high light in my tank it continued to stay brown. It is only recently that is has become lighter. The tips should turn pink soon I think. https://reefbuilders.com/2011/11/09/maricultured-bali-acropora/ Quote Link to comment

I've been seeing a number of them come in recently with the green tips but brown body. Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm sure they'll spot each other soon enough! Ju has been waving his antenna violently every time he comes out of the burrow, like trying to flag down the goby. "OVER HERE WALTER!! YOO HOO!!" I saw Walter looking at him from the corner of his eye. Walter's just a little scared because Ju is so big. Ju is YUUGE! He's easily almost 2.5-3 inches long. 2 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yes feed Nori, go to the Asian market and get the green stuff. Sam, Pete, Paul and Bugs love it and it's DIRT CHEAP!!! Get marine fish to breed is the easy part, getting them to a marketable size is the difficult part. When my Comets had their first brood I was stoked, made it 23 days the first hatch, 58 the second and the third time was the charm. I got 12 to saleable size. We've come a long way baby, but we have a LONG way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment

Astinus Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Only draw back to the "Report" was they did not mention "Minimum" Tank size requirements Quote Link to comment
