Sharbuckle Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Always super exciting to set up your first reef. I had a similar setup for my first. Nice little frags you picked up, it's the best when you see coral growth for the first time. So cool. Quote Link to comment

My LFS has really nice corals but they are $$$ Quote Link to comment

I'm planning on doing a small coral haul this weekend so I'll let you know how the lighting on this baby works out for those. Quote Link to comment

Lugmos12 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Alright found a local reefer and did a coral haul. I need help identifying some of these. There a rock with about 10 red mushrooms, a kenya tree on a plate with a mushroom head, a brain coral, a SPS (just to experiment) frag, and another coral who's name I forgot . Also I added a picture of one of my snails who keeps falling on his a**. 3 Quote Link to comment

LazyFish Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 My guess is favia/favites on that last one. The one before that I think is a hairy mushroom. 1 Quote Link to comment
