hey whats that coral in the middle of this pic? Looks pretty interesting

 

[scarf_ace1981]

funny you should mention no one seems to know. reefoman had a second coral in his tank that no one could id. it looked like an acan/brain type cool colors on it too


here's my 30XH. canopy needs some molding or something. the stand also needs work. it looks top heavy now.

Fungiid babies.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

you know deanos i didn't think about that. do funggi babies have a stalk? cuz these do. for some reason plates die on me. i've had two and they kick the bucket. how often should i feed?

 

[masterswimmer]

Fungiid babies.

:scratchch

 

[Deanos]

do funggi babies have a stalk? cuz these do.

Of course they do :splitspin

See here: Fungiid FAQs - 3rd question down

Feed em cylop-eeze or mysis every few days.

 

[masterswimmer]

Very cool Deano. I was unaware of the stem also. You really are the guru of links :lol2:

[scarf_ace1981]

i've fed these mysis. the larger ones i had i would feed them silverside heads. they would puff up really nicely. and then some time later the tissue would begin to die. i guess a good amont of water change would have helped.

 

[Deanos]

Silverside heads seem like a waste of time. There's too much skeleton and not enough 'meat' in a fish's head. Maybe the accumulation of bones killed the plates slowly.

Go with mysis or cyclop-eeze.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

thanks dean.

mysis not silverside heads, got it. i believe the first plate died due to the dying brain next to it. neither the plate or brain were in the best of health when i bought them. hopefully this time i'll have better luck.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

i believe my six line beat the snot out of my eibli angel. sometime later the eibli got into my pre skimmer box and was killed by the powerhead. i guess the skimmer box was just below the water level and he went in there to hide

 

[scarf_ace1981]

new additions. got an rbta and a pair of false percs. aaron bought some from the same place but his died. mine look ok but i'm not 100% sure they will make it.

 

[aaron23]

day 3 mine died of broknella. Lets hope yours dont have the same fate. Scarfs tanks look 100% better if seen in person lol His pictures are terrible....
