Did you ever get some? I have a tank in Manteca that I will be taking down hopefully in the next month or two. It is red sea xenia, the type with the stalks, may be referred to as pom-pom. I do not want it in my new tank so if you are still interested when the time comes I'll send you pics...

May wait till we set up our new system. Taking the 65 back from my parents house and getting a new 65 cube for my sps. Arlan is planning a breeding setup for the Banggai so we'll see what our little dining room/living room ends up looking like. :roll: Rian

Justin, those corals look awesome. Rian

Yeah, they were giving out free bags too. Rian

No, they were much much less. I know on Friday night Mermaid Aquarium was selling their aquacultured colonies for $40 each, I think by Sunday they were 3 for $100. They also sold 2 JBJ nano tanks and stand for $200! I was able to get 3 zoo colonies for $30 total. I think everything was...

Thanks for the gals inclusion, I appreciate it Rian

The tall ones look like singularia (sp?) and you don't need to feed directly, they absorb food. The others are zoos/polyps and don't necessarily need to be target fed since they will catch stuff out of the water, but you can feed them. You can blow some of your frozen food at them, just know...

I think your smell is probably coming from your lr and not the shrimp. You probably don't need so many shrimp either. I second skimming for your tank. Rian

Some softies also absorb nutrients from the water and do not need direct feeding. Rian

When you choose your piece, be sure to check where the flesh meets the skeleton. If the flesh is coming from inside the skeleton than it is not as health as it looks. Try to find one that has the flesh over the outside of the skeleton. If you're not sure what I mean, try to find a pic of a...

I think I'd have to agree with you. If the picture were a little clearer it would make it easier to decide.

If I'm not mistaken, the outdoor pond is from the aquarium on Maui not Oahu. Unless they both have similar aquariums. Rian
