Tank Update with Pics!

Awesome looking tank. The Sun Coral are way cool looking! Whats the deal with them? I've seen some orange with yellow or just orange.

 

I have just recently started learning about these when I decided to keep one. They are a LPS coral with little if any light requirments. The do not host any algae and thus recieve all thier nutrition through regular feedings. I believe there is some debate as to whether each polyp has to be fed or if there is an internal structure for sharing nutrients. So far I have seen all shades of yellow/orange. There is also a black variety that seems to be faily common. I have read these are only difficult to keep due to their feeding requirements, and they like low light and low flow. Mine seems to be doing great, however 1 week is hardly a success story. Will keep my fingers crossed.

 

NEW PICS!

 

your frogspawn looks good glowing nicely!

 

Yes I must agree your tank looks very good.

 

Thanks guys and gals! ;D

 

like the zoas, how's your yellow eye kole doing with the other inhabitants? buddy of mine has one, it's the tank bully really mean sucker

 

So far so good, Iraf. He was the last of three added and probably the last fish, since I am thinking I would like to remain skimmerless at this point. He is timid most of the time allowing the others to eat and then picks up what is left over. I did see the clown attempt to pick at him on day 2 but that was very short lived and all have got along well since. I think most of the time if you stick to only one fish of a species you are faily safe. Guess I will see what happens!

 

Thought I would try a video of the tank to show off the kole tang and the rest of the tank. Still a long way to go. I had trouble zooming cause I have not tripod but you get the idea. They all seem to not mind other at all. ;D

 

That was pretty cool. Not hard at all. Here is one focusing on the Kole Tang.
