Mirya Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That pic of Nick would make an awesome Christmas card! 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Cute . 60-70 days in warmer months and up to 120 days in colder months. I'm guessing somewhere between 70-120 days . The eggs are doing GREAT! I can tell they are a little bigger already. And they for sure must be fertile because it's been almost a month and they haven't molded . So exciting!!!!! I know I shared these two pics on Facebook and Instagram but wanted to post them here too.... Those two just love it under the tree Finally did some gift shopping today. Glad I looked since Marine Depot has free ground shipping right now plus their 15% off deal. Got a bucket of RSCP for me..can't beat that price! sooo cute...have to bring them to new page =) 2 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 O my, that is adorable of the Kitties under the tree. The 2nd pic could be a Christmas card if the bulb was more in view? 1 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Those latest photos look great! Tons of growth in there. I can't get over how fluffy your fox coral is. Mine seems to be doing a bit better. The cats under the tree are too cute! Have they tried to climb it yet? Lily climbs my parents' tree every year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mine is happier since I figured that out . No climbing yet. Maybe it helps that we have a couple of cat trees for them to get their climb on . Hopefully they don't decide the Christmas tree is a good idea one day LOL. I have some new photos!!!!! FTS for December: Shipped out turquoise trumpets to Stellablue today . She got the clump on the far right of this photo! Blastos still doing well. I swear the secret with them is don't get sand on them! 10 Quote Link to comment

gena Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 That is all So last night my pink trumpets had these super long sweeper tentacles out. And this morning this Those pink ones are temperamental. I haven't seen that with either of the other two colors. In such a small tank I may not be able to keep the pink around much longer unfortunately. Too bad they can't just get along! Quote Link to comment
cindyp Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 oh no!! it is hard in a small tank. believe you me, i know. my cynarina or however you spell is a monster! ha! it as advertised ast 2 inches but i'm sure it's near 5 inches most of the day. it really is sad when they can't get along. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Oh no, Yikes! That stinks. You'd think they would get along since it's just a color difference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you seen sweepers coming from the cynarina? You have even less real estate than me! It is tough! I'll have to think about a replacement now, just in case I have to take action against those pink trumpets soon. Such a shame because I REALLY love the color. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I got my Gena trumpets and all I have to say is They're beautiful! thanks again, G. I owe you a picture still!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess the red/pink have a fiery temperament. While the green and blue are cool as cucumbers . I got my Gena trumpets and all I have to say is They're beautiful! thanks again, G. I owe you a picture still!!!!! Can't wait to see them in your tank . 1 Quote Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Oh wow. Aren't they the same family??? That's crazy. Can you put them in a different part of the tank? They are so pretty. 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Gena, I agree with teeny, your tank is soooo soothing and peaceful to look at, (even if the trumpets can't co-habitate) and i just love seeing your pics. 3 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 What about the opposite side of rock or something? There's gotta be a way to keep them, they are such a staple to this tank being so soft looking. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mirya Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I've had different colors of trumpets fight each other too. Only it was my turquoise that got pissy with my neons! Meanwhile the turquoise ignore my pink with neon centers that sit right next to them. Silly coral... Cynarina have an impressive crown of feeder tentacles, but I've never seen mine put out sweepers. It has plenty of things in range (Leptos, Acans, Xenia) that it could attack if it had long sweepers, but I've never seen any injury to those other corals. If only you lived closer... I'm thinking I'm going to think out my coral collection before I move next month. My Cynarina is one of the corals I was thinking of selling. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's quite common to have one color morph dominate over another even though they may be the same species. Even the same species/color morph from one reef may not be compatible with it's counterpart from the same reef, let alone a completely different reef. Then again, looks are deceiving and what we think of as the same species may turn out not to be when the DNA is examined. Hope you can get the Trumpets separated enough to keep damage to a minimum. 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I was about to say, more than likely these are actually different species, branching somewhere 'recently' in their evolutionary path, just enough to make them hate each other 2 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bummer! I hate when coral is doing so great where it is and then suddenly does something like that. Reef keeping can be so temperamental. 1 Quote Link to comment
