beauful corals where did you get them? Online?

Thank You!
A few were purchased online but most came from my LFS in Nashville.

 

[Mike from TN]

New stuff arrived!
I just acclimated and placed them. Once the crabs are finished “investigating “ them, hopefully they will open for a good picture.

Fireworks still not opening. I did some research on Cloves, which I’ve never had before and a lot of people say it could take days to even a week for them to adjust and open.
I moved the new GSP off of the “false wall” and now I have a glob of super glue there that won’t budge and is right out in clear view! :mad:

Mine like similar flow you give to torches. Hopes this helps. I also keep them near the bottom of my stock light Biocube. They opened for me in about a day.

Hopefully, will be making a trip to Nashville in May and making the LFS rounds. I'm sure I'll have a cooler with me. I've been known to buy frags in Jacksonville, FL (mom and brother) and drive them 500 miles home in a cooler!

Its been a week. At least I know they are alive.
Ive never had any coral take this long to open but I refuse to give up on them.

There's always room for one more!

I may have to bring my cooler for those, too! ;Happy

The large leathers you have, do they just stop growing at the stop of the water? Or are you trimming them?

I hope they stop growing at some point. The biggest one on the left side is out of control. It’s almost twice the size it was when I got it.

I feel like this is a sneak peek into season 2, in the series of Mike from TN build thread. Lol

Never know?
No more OR larger tanks until we get our parking area paved and then the new floors. I’m not even looking forward to moving the little Evo to have the floors done.

Haven’t updated in a while!
Fireworks cloves are STILL slow to fully open. Every day they open a little more.
Bad news is that I found another (3rd one since tank has been up and running’ Zoa eating Nudi.
Good news is that RFA’s will eat them like candy if you place it in their tentacles.

hi you need to pull and dip all your zoas in temperate freshwater ,leave in 1 min twist and shake adults off ,repeat one a week for 3 weeks for newly hatched eggs,they will multiply fast and knock out all your zoas..
you know ppe be careful..but no time to waste..do in black bowl so you can see which ones they come off of if you seen 3 there are 30 in there if not more..sorry this sucks ,i know been there..

That is going to be very difficult because all of my Zoa’s have grown together over the rock structure. Can’t really remove them anymore. My only defense at this point is to just watch for them and catch them when I see them.
The first two were in the very beginning, it’s been months and this one just showed up. Not really sure what their gestation period is.
I’ll bet SOMEONE has an answer! @footgal

Okay I think we’re talking about nudi’s right? With a zoa encrusted onto your aquascape that’s not gonna be easy to fix. I suggest manual removal of as many adults as you can find (look in the day and at night with a flashlight for at least 2-3 weeks) and get a natural predator. Wrasses are good. Good luck

Update:
Been checking closely for additional Nudi’s and have not seen any more.
I always keep a pretty close watch on the tank so I guess if others pop up, I’ll be able to pluck them out.
