Steve Wright's SPS takeover

Awesome progress Steve. That black leopard looks amazing!

How big are the sally lightfoots? No aggression problems yet?

 

Thanks Mike

They are about 1 inch across the carapace
and they are scared of the fish, their own shadows, each other, snails etc

so they must get a lot braver as they get bigger I assume

Steve

 

The tank looks great Steve and I am very jealous about the price you get your corals at lol. Cant wait to see more pics within the coming weeks!!

 

Thank you us13fox

Its a couple more fish next, probably between now and Christmas
and maybe a couple more SPS to fill out the spaces in the new year

and now for some more coral progress shots


encrusting Monti - yellow color when purchased in late Sept/ early October


coral has become gradually more green over the last few weeks


Carpet Lobo - during October


Carpet Lobo - today - much more yellow/ orange now


brown with purple tips in October


purple now moved down 30% of the branches and they have all grown longer in the last 4 weeks

 

my favourite coral at present

some individual shots of LPS at feeding time

 

No I figured this for an SPS when I picked it up
but those feeder tentacles dont look like SPS polyps
they look very much like LPS feeder tentacles

wild acro - when I got it



getting more purple/ blue but still a long way to go
