The Marmot Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Grey and red Acanthastrea Lordhowensis' I found a 5 polyp frag at a LFS for $50. That was the first coral I purchased anyway. I picked up a 3 different Montipora Digitata's(green, purple, and orange),at a local frag swap swap about 2 months before the tank was set up, they currently still being coral-sat in a freinds tank. I should be moving the corals into my tank in the next few weeks. Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I put in mushrooms, as I bought the particular frag for an awesome green hairy mushroom (sold as ricordea...). The rock also had GSP and purple zoos on it. Edit. Looked just like the one below my post.... Link to comment

reefknight Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I bought two items a ricordia encrusted rock with some zoo's tagging along(orange bullseyes w/green skirt) and a zoo colony(brown w/ green skirts). I voted for the zoo's as they were what I said "sold" to first. Bill Link to comment
non-photosynt Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Dendronephtya (pink carnation coral). Link to comment
randomrambler Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Xenia... It's still the only coral in my tank Anyone wanna throw a newb a bone? Lol. Link to comment
Solarflare8806 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 plus a gonipora...cause they're really hardy! just kidding... a mushroom...it was so pretty... No one should ever buy a gonipora coral because they are the exact opposite of hardy. We still have no clue how to keep them alive for more than a few months. Any beginners out there heed my warning, DO NOT BUY ANY KIND OF GONIPORA OR FLOWERPOT CORAL. You will only kill it and waste your money. This is not an insult it is just a precaution. Anybody who says they have successfully raised one for more than a year is probaly lying. Nice joke P.O.T.U.S. Link to comment
hermitman Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 My first coral was a Tongue Coral that I thoroughly enjoyed...It lived for 3 months, all the while accepting the supplements and brine shrimp to help fight the bleaching. the bleaching had a beachhead on the very tip of the coral and that line would shift constantly back and forth and the coral fought it off....it finally succumbed after almost 3 months...a true warrior of the coral world...i miss it alot...RIP Link to comment
pheallox Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 A rock of five brown zoas that now a year and a half later are over a houndred and nice and red. Link to comment
montevallofalcon11 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Brown Button Polyps, started at about 5 polyps, already up to over a dozen. Free from a guy at work! Link to comment
bucknellreefer Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I bought my first coral today! I bought the smallest frag of zoanthids i could find lurking at the bottom of the tank, hopefully they will do well....*fingers crossed* Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 last time i checked, jordan, anemones don't fall under the 'coral' category (or do they?). - my first coral was a frag or orange zoanthids-- they finally were wiped out about 7 months ago. i couldn't stand the darn things after i started buying nicer zoa morphs. lol.

pico1 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 eh, w/e. I thought it was a coral when I bought it (since it was my first I was obviously still a noob) Link to comment
