To pop open a fresh 6-pac...hope ya'all join in and pop open a few kewl ones to add to these...
Here is my bubble coral. One of the earliest additions to my reef. Started as a rather small speciman about 20-22 months ago. Was in sort of bad shape at first but he is now the center piece of my reef...when fully extended this dude is about the size of a football. Eats like a pig...I try to direct feed an assortment of meaty foods at least once a week...just had a feast tonight!!

This is the colt coral that lives in the upper right top cornor of my reef...its been fragged twice since I added it about 13-14 months ago(frags returned to place of purchase for store credit). True color is a sort of reddish/maroon color. Very low maintenance...hasn't really grown as much as some I've seen...but then again I'd hate for it to become too large.

This next coral took me over a year to find locally...I saw several but they were either too white colored or didn't appear healthy. This one was purchased from a new store here in Clovis that opened about a year ago. So far it has been a great addition and well worth the wait! Say hello to my Fox...

Another of the long term residents in my lil reef is this trachyphyllia geoffroyi ...at least I'm fairly certain thats the correct ID. Added this coral over 2 years ago to a very young reef...it suffered at first but has matured into a great coral in my opinion. Another of the corals I try to direct feed at least once a week with assorted meaty type foods.

This is one of my favorite corals....the first frogspawn I had died after a heater stuck on and the temp reached 88+ degrees for 12 or more hours. This one was added about Thanksgiving this past year and is in great shape...its even started two new stalks already. Actually this one is much nicer in color and size than the first. Hopefully this one will be around for a long time. I just saw one at Moodys garden in Galveston that is friggin HUGE...about the size of two basketballs!!!

This is my last contribution....three assorted small but very nicely colored zooanthids that I got from my friends in Lubbock a few months ago...very small but brilliant colors. I can't seem to get a really good pic of them...this is the best I've been able to get so far....
