Deepwater acro




Spectacular A.tenuis from Ewald's reef.  The pic doesn't do it justice

Acropora granulosa




Unknown acro, very funky looking

I LOVE this piece.  I am going to have to get a frag of this from Ewald's!  When I first started getting into the whole reef thing, I came across a tenuis and I have wanted one since then.  I really like the way they look and have been searching for an outstanding variety.  I think this is it.  I may still need another one (or more).  But this is definately a must have!

I just visited Dinhkim and saw his tank for the first time.  I must say, simply amazing.Thumbs%20UpThumbs%20Up   It is even better in person if you can believe that.  I really enjoyed our visit and learned a lot too.  The clarity of his water is superb!  I now have something to aspire too.  Thanks for having us over tonight.

You're making me blush, Dave.  It was very nice meeting you and your son.  I enjoyed the talk a lot.  It is always nice to have somebody agree with you that SPS rules, and everything else is crap!!!LOL.  Ok I exaggerated a bit...  I can't wait to see the frags that you will be getting.

Even though I already have a green birdnest, it's not green enough for me.  So I got myself an ORA piece this time.  This guy is bright green, hopefully will be as spectacular as my old green birdnest when grown out




I have Cody to thank for the orange lobophyllia and orange and blue symphyllia.  He called to my attention a thread on RC that showcased them.  These guys are just spectacular.   I am quite smitten.  Here are the new pics that I took of them

Orange lobo with teal center and pink dots




Orange and blue symphyllia.  This guy is something else.  I really hope that it do well in my tank.  Does anybody know if it is gonna be fine without target feeding?  It only polyps out at night, when the shrimps are on patrol.  Any morsels of food that I tried to feed it were confiscated by the brazen shrimps.




My bright green wall hammer




I also bought an Aussie wall hammer with very nice polyp shape; but has purple polyp tips and green polyp body.   It came to me in ice cold water; but is doing better.  Once the color gets better, I'll take a pic.  Stay tunedBig%20smile

Great pics Dinhkim I always look forward to your updates!  That hammer is really amazing in person and that photo is just awesome!

I can't believe the difference between the polyps on the two types of hammers.  I am definately going to have to get a wall.  Yours is really nice.

That birdnest is way nicer in person.  The photo just doesn't capture the depth and intensity also.  The photo is great, the piece is spectacular!

His new lobo is even more breath taking in person.  I can't wait to see the symphyllia.

Thanks Dave, that birdnest really looks much brighter in person.

Cody, if I ever get up the nerve to frag the lobos and symphyllia, you will have first dibs!  You better save up money (J/KLOL).

How about I'll frag mine in front of you to show you how easy it is.  All you need is a diamond saw, tub, and a large healthy specimen.  Then we can go over to your place and have at it Wink, jk.
