Bubble coral - Coolest thing EVER! ..PICS..

[truehle]

I'm so happy my wife talked me into getting this thing. I was hesitant at first, but I did my research.
It had me worried. It closed up completely on introduction to the tank. I thought maybe it hated my water and lighting, but within an hour it opened up beautifully. I bet it doubled or more in size. Then the real surprise happened that night. About 30-45 minutes after lights off, the bubbles retreated and the tentacles came swarming out. FEED ME!
And like we all say, this threat is useless without pics....so here she is!

AWESOME!
Just make sure to keep it away from other corals...at lights out...watch how the water flows, the stingers will follow the flow and see how far they reach...

That is beautiful....

Yeah, she needs a good couple inches. Nearest thing is a candy, but its got plenty of room. Thanks for the info.

I always wear gloves when working in the water. That should be fine, right?

 

[pbnj]

Yes, always a good idea.

Green Bubble is awesome! I have the reg (pale color), but I am hoping to find some green bubble soon!

This looks like a Pearl Bubble to me, NOT a Green Bubble. Green bubbles normally have larger bubbles.
Great looking piece

very nice

 

[tampashane]

wow thats pretty impressive. There is a lfs by me that has 4 bubbles for sale and i was never interested until now. Might have to reconsider that coral. great pics.

Do you feed it after the lights are out. I just got one and during the day, all I see is bubbles. I looked at it last night about an hour after lights out and saw some small tentacles. Is that the time to spot feed?
Thanks,
