HIGH END Tenuis Hoarder

[SBB Corals]

The vials have an absolute set value. If the test doesn’t result in range then there is something wrong with the unit.

Yes correct that is what i mean. IF the unit is off then there is no way to calibrate it.. with the Photometer you can calibrate it if the standard is off..

 

[SBB Corals]

Hmmm….I’ve followed your posts and videos for a long time and remember your PE was pretty crazy back then too. Actually quite a bit crazier than your most recent video.

SOme days they look better then others. Today they are looking super Shaggy!!! see video below. Some of the best PE though was from the 11.7.2020 Video. Tenuis so finicky hard to keep them happy all the time!

Gotcha. I consider it a way to check my tests results. I know if the calibration kit (that’s what it’s labeled) is within range I know my results are accurate. I’ve never had it been out of the kits range.

How often are you feeding benereef?

 

[SBB Corals]

Same thought I originally had

It was but we took it off becouse it was mislabeled. Which one would you choose ?

That’s special. Looks more like a Tenuis to me than a vermiculata. Vermiculata has knobby corallites.
Paging @C. Eymann

Most of the time tenuis and vermiculata are dang near impossible to tell apart, there are some things you can look at to make an educated guess though-
vermiculatas radial corallites calice rim more often comes to more of a point rather than being more rounded/ cup like that tenuis usually presents, however tenuis can exhibit this as well, its usually more prominent on vermiculata though, vermiculata will also sometimes have shorter axial corallites, the final and probably most reliable differentiating factor is that vermiculata's radial corallites will have more of a rasp like arrangement as opposed to tenuis rosette arrangement, which is what I am seeing on the coral in question.

Id agree with @SBB Corals on this probably being a vermiculata .
Beautiful piece!

thanks for the writeup.. i'm still trying to determine what it is but i'm learning toward what you are thinking also.

Just finished reading the past 50 pages of interesting information.

@SBB Corals what is the best way to stay updated on your sales, I am interesting in getting a few tenuis when my new tank is ready.

 

[Utubereefer]

He has them every month. There’s one going on right now! Hot stuff!

 

[SBB Corals]

We have been Hoarding some Tenuis and its time to spread some of these around. Check these out really unique!
