Five.five-six Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I love cyphastria and IMO it’s one of the more overlooked coral. 1 Quote Link to comment
A Little Blue Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 That’s an awesome looking sponge! Do you have a name of it by any chance? 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree! 1 hour ago, A Little Blue said: That’s an awesome looking sponge! Do you have a name of it by any chance? It was sold as “Red Plating Sponge”. I bought it and a “Purple Plating Sponge” at the same time...... they are both photosenthetic. I can’t get a good pic of the Purple one but they look like velvet......they have both grown a lot since I got them. 1 Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Interesting, I thought sponges always liked little to no light. Like I find pale yellow ones in my overflow, in 100% shade, etc. They don’t get larger than a big pea for me though. Sponges seem soo.... spongey. Like a little light would cook them. I guess not! Do photosynthetic ones need lotsa nutrients? Or can they also thrive in low nutrients? Cool cheese. 1 Quote Link to comment

I like sponges and since they seem to like my tank, I am always looking for new species to add some diversity and color. Since they are photosynthetic, my next question is: what light intensity they seem to like in your opinion? That would give me a good starting point if I decided to get those guys for my tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

These new ones I have up high right under the Radions and they are slowly spiraling up. I first saw a purple one in Lawns tank and wanted one ever since. 23 minutes ago, A Little Blue said: I like sponges and since they seem to like my tank, I am always looking for new species to add some diversity and color.

Not really. 🤷🏻♀️ I just try at different times of day because the room is sooo bright. I have plenty of videos that are shit! 😂. The big tank has really thick glass so you have to be parallel to glass or the camera can’t focus ......so it is really hard to get pics in there. The small tank is quite photogenic and takes a good one almost every time. 2 Quote Link to comment
