New Corals

[jacknjill]

Got come new corals a couple weeks ago and then today I got "dragon eye" zoanthids according to the store. They haven't quite opened yet though but are a bright neon green in the center. My frogspawn has already grown like crazy in the two weeks that I've had it! I also realized that one of my pumps was off when I took these pictures, so the hammer coral looks a little rough lol.
All my fish are doing fine, although I guess I should say WERE doing fine until my firefish jumped the partition and ended up in the return chamber. My dad managed to get the little guy out, but his tail was pretty badly damaged and he ended up not making it I'm thinking about getting a black and white true percula to pair up with my orange true percula to replace it.
So... pic of the frogspawn when i first got it, and a pic of it now. I'll post a picture of my zoas when they open up tomorrow (hopefully!)

Sorry to hear about your firefish suicide attempt, I really love frogspawn ,and I must say yours looks awesome how long have you had it since it has grown large
nice tank

Thanks! I've only had it for a little over 2 weeks. It really seems to like my tank! I was hoping my clown would host it, but he's definately not the smartest little guy :/

LOL I feel you on that one

I also have a clown that hosts everything to power heads to rocks but not the things I want him to host funny little fish

crazy, I've had my frogspawn for a 6 weeks at least, and while he has grown it is no where near that much of a growth. I wonder whats different, what kind of lights do you run and is that a bio/nano cube?

I know even I'm shocked. It's a 14 gallon biocube and I just have 1 24 watt daylight bulb and 1 24 watt actinic bulb.

thanks I'm a big fan of lps in general. I'm hoping to get a candy cane, bubble, torch, and brain coral in the next few weeks.

That really is a beautiful frogspawn... and everything else in the tank looks really nice too!

 

[starfishprime]

how much flow do you give it? I'm just trying to find what makes a great environment for the coral and compare what you do, compared to how I have it.
