High end, rare, underrated or not often seen softies.

Lousy cell phone picture.

Finally saw the sclerites everyone was talking about.

Bought as Japanese pink nepthea from @nivekid. His original frag was from Unique corals.

Loving it!
Thank you!

Man that nice

 

[norfolkgarden]

Nice! Been looking for this stuff

Marinefarmers.com also sells it.

We have 1 from Marine Farmers, 1 from Unique corals, 3 from @nivekid that are Unique corals stock.
All of them exhibit the sclerites.

This coral is pretty bulletproof.

I do everything manually and parameters won't keep SPS happy more that a few months.
[emoji53]

No issues with this one.
Maybe double in size in 3 months?
Torch/Frogspawn flow and lighting works well for it.

I owe you one! I've been lurking on unique corals and a few others waiting for it to get back in stock. Just emailed marine farmers for this and some others I'd been looking for.

I have tried these corals. So beautiful. Problem is that they need so much food in the water column that you will sacrifice the health of your entire system. I kept one alive for a few months but it eventually dwindled away. There have been research papers written on these corals that I would Google and read. I wish all the luck to you becaise these corals are simply amazing!

Very true, I've read most important papers on these corals. Still trial and error. Making progress. Maybe one day before to late and all wild corals banned someone will be able to aquaculture some species of these corals.

So pretty! Does it fluoresce really well?

Sadly, not at all. [emoji17]

Pale under actinic light. Similar to a regular toadstool.

Strictly a white light champion.

LiveAquaria ORA neon green sinularia. They were beautiful but a dismal failure for us.
Still cant decide if it was too much light, too much flow, or being "toxed out" by the other stuff in our tank.
3 for 3 complete failure in a months time each time.
They arrived great, opened well and then declined over a month.

I've had some bad luck with Sinularia, and in my inexperienced opinion, I think the Sinularia need more time to heal after being fragged or cut... before being sold. Well that's kind of what happened with me anyway. It never attached to anything and nuked the tank out it's "cut" end. The cut end needed to heal before I took the frag from the person. They basically cut off a limb from the mother colony and put it in a bottle for me.

 

[Hermie]

I do like that its nice

my LFS just got some in but 69.99 is a bit high for me atm

 

[norfolkgarden]

Yeah. It was pretty amazing for a month. Even more brilliant than the picture.

Still not sure what I was doing wrong. But got tired of the money and killing something beautiful. :-/

Liveaquaria ORA was 40ish if I remember correctly.

Dendro.

I’ve always loved colt coral but haven’t seen any in a while

 

[mta_morrow]

My favorite [emoji2]

 

[nano reef]

I did have this but I lost it when I had some tank troubles. Its a photosynthetic Nephtheidae called Stereonephthea. I loved it with its sharp polyps and visible sclerites. It had the Dendronephthea look but photosynthetic. Gutted this died.

Love these somuch! I almost bought a koji wada or something like that unique corals has but to pricey! I thought only his had the sclerites!

Here is my near basketball size colony of green Nepthea. I have a smaller softball size colony if anyone is interested. Love this coral but grows super fast.

Still by chance have the smaller colony? Couple years late to the party... or any trimmings youre looking to part with..?
