Who's got the first corals from Fiji, after this long wait???

[Nanoreefchik]

A note I saw from my supplier said that the yellow Fiji leathers do not look yellow in actinic lighting. That may affect some Reefer’s decision on getting them if true. I don’t know myself, but if anyone does, feel free to reply to save someone some disappointment.

Very true. My dad and I just got rid of a bunch over the past week or so. The Aussie yellow leathers look more yellow under bluer light from what I’ve seen. Other than that, Fiji lobos, acros, fungias, nothing spectacular.

LFS in SoCal got in some wild/maricultured Fiji acros for $75 each. Bought a couple and had them hold for another week to check color and tissue. Picked up today and am setting up a small quarantine tank.

Going to dip in melafix pond then treated with Bayer after theyre settled in quarantine. 3/4 colonies have acro crabs so I’ll have to isolate the little buggers.

Snagged a yellow Porites colony online today as well.

Not to mention….

Next time I’ll be faster cause these are a dream coral of mine.

Cool Acros! At least they're something different. The bottom one looks like it might be A. Humilis? I used to have a gorgeous teal and purple one. I'd really love to buy a couple more of them. The smooth ones, there are so many that it's hard to identify them. I've definitely killed a few.

Gotta be humilis, right? They one or two that looked more on the side of gemmifera. But this one is much longer and tablish. The gemmifera we’re doing the usual crystal bush look.

Hopefully these guys all pull through, only one I am slightly worried about would be the humilis. However, I believe he is just starved since going through holding tanks with low flow/ low light coming from a pristine place like Fiji would do that. So eh

Yeah, the Humilis I had back when was under very strong MH light and a high current to keep it happy.

It doesn't look sick, just dull, but that can be fixed. I think the right amount of light sooner rather than later will be of good benefit.

Humilis seems to be not as common as it was back maybe 10 years ago. I've seen some really beautiful ones.

I think we got the same granulosa, nice pick up!

My lfs has gotten 2 acros in but nothing special they looked not so great when I checked them out.

I love this stuff. It’s like when all the vendors had the exact same multicolored speciosa frags the same week. What area did you buy it in?

 

[Reefing102]

Both mine got in Fiji yellows and various acros and zoas. I got some “Fiji wilds” zoas. That’s what they named them (no pics but there’s like 3 different types of zoas on it). The acros came in pretty rough but were good size (softball or larger) colonies. One was nice enough to chase off a comensal crab to give to me.

Does anyone know of anyone or already have those precious corals from Fiji?
Any pics?

I have had some acros for several weeks now.. GASP under LEDs and still alive and still gorwing.
