For the first couple of months the rock work was all I had to look at, so I'm glad I put some effort into it. Now I'm just enjoying filling in all the empty space with new corals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Today I added a new goniopora from @CuttleFishandCoral to my tank. Here are photos when I first added it and one hour later as it started to open up: I also made a time lapse video as it opened up, but there was also a lot of other activity taking place around it: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 @CuttleFishandCoral had a beautiful chalice that I couldn't resist: Here's my latest full tank shot. The new chalice fit in perfectly below my rock arch: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I picked up a couple more beautiful frags today at @CuttleFishandCoral. I love the colors on this ORA purple stylophora: Can anyone help ID this next one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 This might be the prettiest frag I've purchased so far! Thanks @CuttleFishandCoral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the name on it, but I got a frag of the same coral from Jeff a couple of months back. It was the same olive green like yours with just the hint of purple on the tips. This is what it is looking like now under 12k LED... my best guess is it is something similar to Paletta Tricolor but it is still growing into a different shape. It is losing its finger-like shape and is starting to put out significant radial corallites. The really light purple coloration that you see on the right hand side started developing within the last three weeks. I have mine under ridiculous par, ymmv. Please excuse crappy iphone pic.

Wow, nice coloration! Mine is also starting to show more purple and a hint of growth, but it's only been a few weeks. I have mine near the top of my tank at 350 PAR. What's your definition of "ridiculous" PAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I peak at around 600 par in my light cycle. Looking back at my photos I got mine on 6/10 for reference. Edited August 23, 2018 by Krux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
