I'm bored, let see your first coral you added to your reef!

[Calm Blue Ocean]

This is my Kenya Tree that we call Mini Me. Ordered online. Dipped it like a good reefer. And it melted. Completely gone without a trace in 24 hours. Or was it. Some weeks later I was looking at the coralline covered rock that it came on and thought I saw something. Mini Me has now been fragged many times in the last two years. Parts of Mini Me have existed in three different tanks. Tough little guy!

There it is. A lonely 3 polyps of Scrambled Eggs.

It has grown over the last few months and is now battling for territory with the Bloodsuckers. It appears to be loosing. I need to clip off a couple of Bloodsucker polyps to keep it at bay.

For. Acans. The key is low light with a fair about of blues and you gotta spot feed them. They usually grow pretty quickly

Thx. What are you feeding?

We use reef energy and reef pro SPS and low food.

That’s some good growth! How long have you had the scrambled eggs for to have them grow so much for you

In my current tank, this was added on day one (freebie from the LFS when I bought my rock), tank was filled in the morning and added the rock and this guy in the afternoon. Has looked great every day since (is twice as big now).

This mad it through the cycle and all that’s pretty impressive! What’s the tank look like how and how long has it been running for

I got my first coral, a small lobophytum leather, a little over a year ago.

Here it is now, over the size of my fist.

Thanks! Reading what some others say about the growth of their zoas, it seems like it might not be impressive in the end. I have had these for 5 months now, but it took them a while to start growing new heads.

That’s pretty awesome! What kinda fish do you have?

No that’s still pretty good. Do you have a lot of fish in the tank.

No fish, but I spot feed them with Reef Roids a few times a week. I have had the Bloodsuckers behind them for about the same amount of time and they have grown faster than the Scrambled Eggs. Those things are pigs! I am honestly amazed that a polyp can eat as much at one time as the Bloodsuckers do.

Gonna have to wait for that one, I’d have to go to the landfill in Killeen to find the skeleton haha

Do you have a current tank shot. I’m interested in seeing a almost fishless reef.

Oh I though the pic of the land fill was your tank. Lol what’s your current tank look like?

I haven't taken one in a while, but I will post one when I am able to take a picture on Monday.

Sounds good!! Can’t wait to see this “trash pile”

Wow, so that's two of us with trash pile aquariums now.

 

[elorablue]

I got a few corals at once when my tank was a month in. This pulsing Xenia was one of them.
4 months growth, and I need to frag it now.

Thanks!
There is an aurora goby and a female mocha clown somewhere in there…the mocha killed my male occy.
In qt I have a royal gramma and I’m undecided on my 4th fish, maybe a blenny or damsel?
