Tenuis arrived today, and this is what it looks like.

Oooo nice pick up Cora! I wish I had room to buy something, but my DT and FT are stuffed. Reef corner looks great.

Palmers blue is simply my favorite pure blue coral out there. If you have the real deal, it's breathtaking. A local reefer has a colony the size of a basketball and its to die for.

 

Thats so pretty!

You all are so fortunate to have local reefers to trade with and so many options for places to buy.

 

Thanks,

Actually I buy corals from all over the US.

 

In Cda it seems the hobby has dwindled, we don't have a lot of places to shop from...it sucks.lol

 

All corals I got from ReefCorner are doing awesome. I want an area of the tank just dedicated to the Acropora spathulata so I ordered another piece. Ken at ReefCorner has been awesome. The whole point is that none of the corals I got from ReefCorner have lost any color, arrived in great condition and color. These arrive tomorrow.

 

Where In canada are u? We have some good online vendors you can order from

 

Looks good. I love spathulata and abrotanoides, I'm also on the search for a purple/blue efflo.

Look forward to seeing your pieces arrive, what are the other three?

 

Struber Stag to the right of the Spath, and two different kinds of Acropora nasuta. Nasuta seem to grow fairly fast for me. My Green Millepora has not grown 1/4 inch 6 months, but my Nasuta, and others have grown quite well.

 

I don't remember seeing the stuber stag for sale, nice grab nonetheless. My fastest grower has probably been either my Hyacinthus, my valida, or this unidentified mini colony (locally called WTF cuz the growth pattern makes stags look predictable and neat lol). Honorable mention goes to my Oregon tort (what?) that thing came to me as an almost fresh cut and in about 1 week encrusted out 3/4cm.

My slowest has to be either my blue sunset millepora (blue base, green coralite lips and orange tips) or my green slimer...neither has moved. The sunset came to me browned out, grew some, started to STN, then I fragged it and STN stopped on both pieces but no growth...slimer hasn't grown at all in 6 months.

I'd complain but honestly at the rates my Hawkins and Oregon are growing I have no room to do so. Lol

 

Felt the need to post again because man do my Millies give me headaches...I've got 4 different kinds, the reefgen blue sunset, a random green, another random stubby green (going yellow) with red/brown tips (only on the axial coralites) and a "fire garden" Mille. As you know the blue sunset has minimal growth and no polyp extension tha I can see, the yellowish one is encrusting nicely and has decent PE, the fire garden has classic Mille PE and is encrusting, and the random green was a rescue that was almost dead, ugliest pale brown/yellow ever when I got it. Minimal PE even now. I have them all at different levels, all in high random flow. I know I don't get that classic Mille PE because I run all and calc high, (4.5 meq/L and 450ppm) but I just want to get growth out of the sunset. I've dipped, put at all different lighting levels, and tried different flows, nothing changes. FWIW, the green is glued to the back plastic of the solana 34g about 1.5" under 6 bulb T5, the yellowish one is about 2.5" under the surface, and the fire garden is on my frag rack about 6" below the surface. The two sunset frags are at the top and middle, trying to see which does better at this point.

Just ranting about the woes of milleporas. Hopefully my spathulata will grow nicely . Man I can talk acros forever lol.
