new corals/tank

Right now all the corals are in my new 28g JBJ 150W tank, Not sure when we will get the display tank back up (BEEN A VERY VERY BAD WEEK) Some of the corals are from our big Wet Thumb Frags and some from the frag swap we went to today.

I am not a good photographer and still have to learn how to use the new camera

rainbow monti


chalice....in real life is more blue with bright pink/red eyes


bunch of ricordia and cyphastrea You can see the browned litho


pineapple coral (much more fluroscent)


bottle brush


frogspawn and hammer




blue sponge


barnacle blenny is not that happy that his home has been invaded

 

got a lot more coral, however they are stressed right now and will snap some pics when they color up more

 

Very beautiful adds, good luck on getting the new tank going.

 

the hammer shown in the pic is an anchor hammer correct???
I'm just trying to figure out what diffrent type of hammer corals are there...

 

Thanks for the images schackmel.

Nice corals, I really like the blue sponges.

 

Cool pics! Can we see a full tank shot and also, what camera did you use?

 

BTW, the bottlebrush isn't a bottlebrush. It's an Acropora tenuis

You are correct

Keep in mind that most species of blue sponge are photosynthetic and require a LOT of light whereas most people will tell you they are strictly filter feeders.

This is just a QT tank to observe new frags for the big tank.

 

Those are some great looking corals! Your pics look great too.

 

Beautiful corals they look really awesome. I like the blue sponges that is the best

 

The pictures are not the best, we just did a waterchange right before I took the pictures so it was still a little cloudy, With all these corals and such a small tank right now, we are going to have a horrible time keeping the kH, calcium and mg on track. Planning to do VERY frequent water changes and trying to figure out what is the easiest and best way to dose such a small tank (used to doing 135g with 60g sump!)

The camera I am using is the Sony Alpha DSLR. I was using the standard lens that came with the camera and a few of the pics I tried using the waterproof lens protector (porthole) and shooting down on the corals. I have not figured out (or even tried to figure out :{ ) the functions or the white balance of this camera so these are really crummy pics!

Hopefully the wet thumb frags will color up more after the settle in and I can get some better pics after reading up on the camera
