@DSC reef What are the Zoas next to the Trachy on the left?

Those are called rastas.

Look similar to mine but mine are a little different... :-)

A Trachy is my next purchase ;)

You could have Bob marleys. It's like a reverse Rasta. The colors are eye catching. We love trachys, a rainbow is definitely on the list.

Ya I almost bought one in last weeks Live sale but missed it by seconds :-)

Weve never done a live sale, that's gotta be frustrating.

Three of my favorites. Lost my best to high nitrates. Just didn’t know till it was too late. Love these guys. One has a piece of nori that fell into it.

This one might be taking the lead as my favorite at the moment. Super bright contrast on this Aussie trachy! Group shot with the holy grail trachy inflated fully too.

I can see the mouth in the middle but no feeders ...I think
The pic is a little blurry
I'll post a pic of mine and maybe you'll be able to see some of the feeders if you click on the pic
The pic are not the best example but it's all I have on my phone

Ok, I think I get it now. I wasn't waiting until it was dark enough. I changed my lighting schedule to a 75 minute ramp time instead of 60. For the first time I saw feeders on my favia, trumpet, and I think the trachyphyllia.

The mouths were huge and white.

Also, is it normal for them to inflate to different sizes on different days?

 

[myzislow]

Yeah, completely normal. Some days mine are huge, some not so much. They also tend to deflate quite a bit when they excrete wastes.

 

[DSC reef]

Inflation and deflation is perfectly normal @jasonrusso

OK I guess I need some schoolin'...

What is the difference between Trachyphyllia, Symphyllia, Wellsophyllia and Lobophyllia?

What is the difference between Trachyphyllia, Symphyllia, Wellsophyllia and Lobophyllia?

Welsophyllia is now classified as trachyphillia, symphyllia and lobophyllia will have different skeletal structures. All LPS with different classifications.

 

[alton]

The big question is why did they stop using the welsophyllia name? Trachs and Welso's are two different animals
