These pictures are the Corals I got on my Birthday Shopping Spree at Fishworld in Chadderton.

My plate / Fungia that Matt kept on one side for me.

My Fuji Short Tentacled Torch (oooohhh, I love it another Euphyllia)
You can also see a plating Monti frag

Montipora

Duncan, pinky tentacled ones - Not yet open though

Fluoro Trumpet

My sun coral

I also have a zooanthid frag, could not focus properley though it was closed

Here is everything in the bucket

A few more piccies after being in the tank a few hrs.

Plate

Monti and Torch

Duncans opened nicely at feeding time. Colour not showing true as I had use flash (covered obviously)

The sun coral - I am really liking this already.

And finally a quick full tank shot. There is a lot of sulking going on so corals are not as expanded as usual.

Will be getting more pictures when they become happy again.

After my visit to Matt at Fishworld on Saturday, I needed to do some rearranging, the pachyclavularia had been sulking but yesterday came out to play again.

My zoa frag, open nicely now so I could focus.

Moved these too

Fungia at night

Fluoro green trumpet

Monti frag off Ste

Short tentacled torch which I believe is E.cristata

It is my fault the tentacles are not out at the top, that was where i held it when glue drying

Full Frontal Tank Shot

Hope you enjoy the piccies

I love your tank, it is really beautiful!

Never heard of trumpet coral before so just did a google image search, wow they are little beauts! What are their care requirements like?

 

[TigerIssey]

Very easy to be honest. I actually have 2 colour variants

Medium light and flow, feed when you see the feeding tentacles.

 

[Buddyboy67]

Looking good..love the depth of colour of that sun coral..

 

[TigerIssey]

I had a choice of two Bud, when Matt went to TMC on Friday, he did try to get a larger one but they did not have any.

There was a slightly bigger one but that was more peachy, the one I went for was a little smaller but much deeper in colour.

Decided I would rather have colour then size (for once) and went with that, it will grow anyway

 

[Buddyboy67]

With regular feeding they bud out at an amazing rate...get it up on coral of the week missus as it is such a different colour to the rest on there.

 

[TigerIssey]

Yes Sir

Before you start cracking whips

Forgot to say as well, I now only have a fine dusting of Bryopsis on 1 rock, suddenly the sea hare has eaten almost all of it. I did give it a good yank by hand again though, as soon as I was sure the Tang was w/s free and was stress.

 

[Buddyboy67]

Great to hear that tina...convinced here that the manual removal and not allowing it to photosynthesise is a big part in it's removal...sea hare would find broken stalks and fresh growth more appetising I bet...

 

[ben1987]

Can someone tell me what ive missed?

Glad we didnt lose you btw!

 

[TigerIssey]

Sun coral starting to come out to play now

 

[TigerIssey]

Duncans

Stunning pink tinge to the tentacles

At night under flash

This morning in full glory

 

[Buddyboy67]

Settling in nicely tina..try squirting marine snow around them or break all the rules and pour a little of the water from thawing out frozen food around them and hey presto !!
