Menella sp. is my absolute most favorite gorg and by far the hardiest in my tank. I’ve had my colony for 3 years and fragged it over 20 times for locals. I used to have a purple/violet polyp variant that I found on DD. Sadly it didn’t make it. I’d love to find one with purple flesh and yellow polyps though... in addition, I do concur. My menella responds to Reef Roids better than anything else.
You still there

My Tubastraea from Ebay arrived last night. The polyps are just beginning to open with a bit of coaxing with some mysis and cyclops. Was sold as "20+ polyps". In reality, it has about 35 large polyps and about 40+ more tiny ones. Going to carefully frag it into a few pieces this weekend to spread it around on the rockscape of my NPS tank.

What's the difference between Dendro and Tubastrea? I cannot tell at all really.. except the flesh is a little translucent for the Dendro... the rest of the skeleton looks the same?

Can we bring this thread back to life? I would love to see some updated photos of the corals posted in this thread plus any new additions if you have some? :D

This shot includes all the NPS corals I posted in April 2019 (now in an upgraded tank) plus a couple of later additions and a scattering of Tubastrea babies too.

And a better shot of the T. micrantha lurking at the back.

No updates, I guess people aren't keeping NPS any more or have shut down. That's a shame. :(

I still like them. :)
