mine is a dud.......

Mine too. Though he(she?) doesn't have many choices; hairy mushroom, pulsing xenia and green star polyps. Mine seems to be hosting a powerhead.

[language filter] it... I had my glory for a little bit.

Doh! I didn't mean to steal your glory...(plotting)

living fossil

n. An organism, such as a coelacanth or the ginkgo, that is the sole surviving member of an otherwise extinct taxonomic group.

I can't find a single bad thing to say about my firefish. Was timid at first... Its a great fish.

Update

Still growing well... seems to like where its at.

When do we vote for POTM?

Yeah I noticed that the 'new' thing this summer in ales is to have orange or lemon flavors in them. I'm a little afraid to try some of them honestly.

'New' thing? Remember Saxer's Lemon Lager?

I had said I wanted some at some point, but unfortunately I cannot make it to this next meeting.

I think there were others too though.

Update

Gowth and polyp extension has still been great, even at the bottom of the tank. Here it is after 2 more weeks. It is darker. Today I moved it back up (where I actually want it) to see how it does.

What do you think?

And...

That looks more like Acans or Favia to me then Brain coral.

I thought it was a Favites sp.- but I don't know for sure. But isn't "brain coral" commonly used for many differnt corals? (Platygyra, Lobophyllia, Trachyphyllia, Favites, Favia, etc.)

I'm lovin' the mushrooms too- great images.

Thanks Reefgeek840 The camera is a Konica/Minolta Z2. Its got a good zoom and macro. Usually for tank shots I use a tripod- but for these I just held it tight against the glass.

Impur- I very happy with the coral. I love to ewatch it feed... I got for a great price at Fantaseas- a "scratch-and-dent" sale.

How about a trading forum

Wouldn't that be under "Listings" in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum?

Oops, I forgot one...

I took some photos last night, thought I would share.

Let me know what you think...

Alright, I'll jump in again...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Since they've been moved, there is no sign of stress. Color may be darkening- but its too soon to tell. My plan is to give it another week, takes some more comparative photos and post them for everyone's feedback.

Thanks

I can't belive I just said that!

I would fry it instead of bake or broil. Cat is kinda stringey so you need to cook it right.

Cat is much less stringy if you tenderize it first with a wooden mallet or an automobile.sick

I started with Seachem because they were affordable- they worked fine. I switched to Salifert- I like how easy they are to use and read.

what kind of light were they under where you bought them?

They were under XM 250w 15k bulbs.
