I might have a yuma polyp coming up for trade here soon.....This rock is really growing.....Much better then I though it would have since I have always had issues with yumas...(knock on wood)

Here is a crappy pic up close of a polyp on my yuma colony.....

This yuma is on the same rock with a bit of differant coloration....

 

[Azurel]

OK here are a couple new additions I got in today......I will take updated pics as well once they settle in get used to the conditions.....the pastel pink one is just like the one I lost 2 years ago in a ower outage and glade to have one back in the tank....

Hot pink?orange

Pastel pink(just like the one I lost) This is a real big polyp too...The rock also has some kinda unknown hitchiker on it as well..

Wow, Az!!

Great pieces!!! :haha:

 

[Azurel]

YEa BRet the orange/Pink one looked even better today.....Those pics were about 4-5 hours after acclimation. I swear by just temp acclimating yumas now, since I started that instead of the drip acclimation they alll show great signs shortly after placement.....

 

[Azurel]

Here is an FTS of the tank.....As you can see I am starting to win the war on algae that has plagued me for about 4 months now....

I had an algae problem much like yours. I put in 2 lettuce nudi branch and i kid you not, 2 weeks later my tank is completely nuisance algae free. They did an unbelievable job.
