23g CCC build (the CCC stands for cheapy chinese cube)

I want to say that the first coral is some sort of leather (maybe a pink kenya?), the second (green tipped daisies) could be green star polyps? but it doesn't look like the mat would be of a GSP...and the third I believe is a dendrophylia. Nice tank bud!!!

 

Thank for the comment and thanks for the id's. The first (pink kenya) sounds accurate. The second (green star polyps) doesnt sounds so accurate. The pics ive looked at for that species has much much longer 'petals'. My ones are round and pretty much daisy shaped. The third one (dendrophyllia) seems accurate aswell. Cheers buddy

 

I think its a flower pot coral Goniopora or Alveopora species Luc

but we will need a picture when its open to tell

Steve

 

Yes steve! It looks like it is one of those two species. Thanks YET again.

Hmm i just did some research on dendrophyllia, seems the store was telling a few porkie pies (lies). They arent easy to keep beginner corals and they dont need to be near the top to get lots of lighting. They in fact like lower light, so i moved them under an over hang. Also they need direct feeding every over day. In each head! :S But i did get them cheap. Seems like in places like the US they are quite expensive.

 

the first coral the 'bubble gum' one is a pink carnation coral....the second one i believe steve is right on....that green shoot is possibly the halimeda coming back, we wont know untill the leaves open up though. how much was the dendro for? they go for minimum $50 per head here......(miami) tanks lookin good with the bright colors...tho i do suggest getting a clean up crew (u def need some snails and hermit crabs!) and maybe a blenny?

 

Yes! Pink carnation coral it is! Thank you.

As for the price. Let me do a run down of what i picked up that day.

* All 3 of those corals
Dendro
Pink carnation
Goniopora or Alveopora
* The skunk cleaner shrimp

For my big tank
* Hippo tang
* Yellow tang
* Long fin bannerfish

All for the 'extortionate' price of 680rmb
















Which is a grand total of 99.59 USD!!!
