Shorty5198 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 lookin sweet. i like the gorg on the top right. i want to get one but i've heard they're pretty hard to keep. do u do anything really out of the ordinary to care for it? Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 ohhh...the purple frilly. Are you kidding? Thats one of the easiest SOB's to care for in my tank, lol. To keep him happy, he needs at least a medium amount of light (direct)...good flow of water (doesnt have to be alternating)..and enjoys the occasional phytoplankton. Link to comment
Shorty5198 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 sweet, did u just pick him up at your LFS or did u order it online and if so where did u order it? Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 The gsp is similar to the purple sea whip. Between the two, I have noticed more vibrant color and elongated tentacles with the enchancement of chaotic fierce water movement. Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 I picked it up from my LFS. He was only $15. It is a fairly well grower too. Forms a nice purple base with polyps in no time. Unlike the purple seafinger, the whips' polyps are ALWAYS open, due to the fact it is mostly photosynthetic. Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 by the way, you can tell on the tip top how he is about to shed a mucus layer tommorrow to clean itself. It does that once every two weeks or so. The rapid water movement helps to clean that off. Link to comment
Shorty5198 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 nice nice, i might have to pick one of those up if i see one for a good price. i'm up in minnesota so we don't really get alot of good stuff and when we do, $$$$$. Big bucks. thanks for the tips and good luck with your tank. Link to comment

vyger Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Tank looks absolutely great , nice aquascaping, great color, gsp looks fantastic, looks like you also take alot of pride in the care of your tank and it shows.... Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 thank you very much vyger! very nice of you to say so. Believe me, it took a few years of trial an error on my last reef to get to this point. One interesting thing to note...on my last reef, it took me over a year to grow coraline algae, my star polyps never grew (and NEVER looked like that in the new picture), and the only thing i was able to frag were leather corals, which would later die half a year down the road.. I guess I finally got the reef thing down... Link to comment
