John's 75 Last picture

Ok now I dont have to feel so bad.. about the lost corals in the past..

These are the ones you mentioned above, correct? Simply amazing..

 

Yes they are.

 

John, what flow are the palys under to get those long sweeping tentacles?

 

Those palys have large tentacles to start but the flow is moderate I would guess.

 

What's the coral covering the sphere in the left side? I'm looking for something just like that to blend in a crease I've got between two rocks. Tank looks great John, kudos.

 

It is a Cyphastrea.

Thanks

 

Very nice FTS shot, John. That's tough to do, getting the focus and colors just right on a whole reef tank.

Cheryl, I had those same green Palys. They get very long whiskers in low light. They can be a little invasive though, but they look nice.

 

I agree on the FTS.

I thought she was talking about the blue ones called Medusa Palys. The green ones are very invasive.

 

I do have Medusa Palys, and they seem happy but they do not have that exaggerated look to them.

Seems like I read somewhere that flow is important to getting that flowing long tentacle affect.

Well there are in mod to a tad higher flow, but pretty high in the tank.

Hmmmmmm

Thank you and sorry for the hijack John.

 

Awesome pictures. Your gramma looks like its gotten pretty big!
