Tina's Twin Bommies

Lost this plate a few months ago due to a batch of bad water but shows it's nocturnal inflation....

Looks a nice corals that Bud, shame to have lost it.

Not quite expanding that much yet, but more each night.

Speaking to Oisris on LC on RF atm.

Took that one about 3 weeks to inflate up fully..getting them to feed seems to be the trick.

Wow, stunning plates Tina & Buddy!

Well, Midland Reefs service is astounding, I ordered my subscription to Coral Magazine yesterday afternoon at about 3.30pm - 4.00pm. This morning the 1 back issue and the current issue landed in my post box, WOW.

I suppose it does help modding on the site where they get free advertising, but even so, that is impressive.

The Mandarin article is 6.1 back issue is very good, with some stunning photographs. I have a night to myself tonight, may read a little more, but maybe not, may end up on forums again.

Okay I mentioned that Buddyboy and I had gone halves (possibly more people yet so its still in one piece) on something rather special.

That is this

Trikentrion flabelliforme

Here it is today arrived and in Tigers tank

This is what it will look like when the polyps are out.

The red part is a sponge and the white part is a parazooanthus. They appear to live symbiotically.

It is fairly rare, Bob Goemans wrote an article on it in March 2009 issue of PFK magazine, he actually wants to hear from people keeping this beauty.

A FTS of the whole coral / sponge in-situ

Wow, a few things have moved, will go through those another time.

 

[Buddyboy67]

Looks too good in there...no getting attached to it.....

Why I love the gorgs and tree sponges, they give that wild and natural look to a tank

 

[TigerIssey]

It is certainly looking like a gap has been filled. Guess where my bit is going??

There is just something about the look of it. Polyps are starting to come out now too, there is a swelling along the branches.

It is stunning, I am drooling severely.

I won't be getting attached, not the price Bud
