The second one is the much coveted (by me) ORA bluetip bottlebrush (tenius, I think). Something about the top one makes me think granulosa, but only a little something.

thats exactly what i was thinking also!

 

[surfn]

wheres twon?

 

[twon8]

unfortunatley i lost both those pieces, the first just rtn'd on my one day, and the frags i had cut months before soon followed.

i think it was a granulosa.

the second was lost to a salinity issue in the 180. salinity got to .19 and i lost about 5 pieces. that was a few months ago, when i wasnt; paying as much attention as i should have been.
it was a tenuis from walt smith via atlantis. i did cut a frag and gave it out to jmboehling cousin, so it may still be around. atlantis got in about ten of the maricultured colonies about a year ago?

ill try and get some pics up tonight. i need to clean the acrylic on the 180 first , and that is a pain

 

[twon8]

here is a pic of my 90, not the greatest pic, but i didnt' bother turning the pumps off

Nice shot, twon.

I really thought that second one was the ORA bluetip bottlebrush. Its very similar to the ORA, isn't it?

 

[surfn]

wow, things have grown! i dont remember seeing all those monti's in there before though.

what is the very thin branched coral on the left side of the tank? (to the right of the efflo)

it is a tenuis, but it has a green base, where the ora bluetip didnt' ime.

it also grew much faster than the ora blue bottlebrush

if you are talking about the one directly underneath it and to the right, that is the "gomezi" we got in hopewell, dark blue with light blue tips and green corallites

i actually have a lot fewer monti's in there than i used to, they have grown like mad, i've likely got about 30 frags laying in the sand.

what about this one? wasn't this a wild?

yeah! lets see that 180!!!

 

[twon8]

yup, that was wild, i've still got it, and it has held its color for more than 16 months now,

 

[surfn]

when do we get to see pics of the 180g?

 

[twon8]

i took some but they didn't turn out too well, i was more concerned with taking top downs at the time.

ill go downstairs in a few and take some more.

I'd love to see some pics as i am going 400w XM 20K soon.

I'd love to see some pics as i am going 400w XM 20K soon.

well as soon as i started snapping pics the mh's went off, so the ones i got are under 2 t5's, a 6000k geismann and a ati blueplus.
