Coral tank at bristol zoo (bandwidth-tastic)

[badgergoth]

It's still reasonably young, and we had a little fight with the water chemistry at one point, but it's starting to take shape.

Now if someone would be so kind as to identify the corals, so I can impress my boss the next time I'm volunteering, that would be great .
(I can account for a xenia, zoanthid and a gorgonia).

Next time I take pictures, I'm going to put that Paracanthurus on a leash...

Ok,the coral left top is a toadstool leather{sarcophyton sp} , below that and in the center looks like a finger leather{sinularia sp}..and bottom right picture is pagoda cup {turbinaria sp }..what else do you need to know?

He's dark black/brown with a blue vertical striple behind his eye

[badgergoth]

Thanks for the Ids.
Any idea what the coral on page 1, column 2 row 2 is?
Also page 2 row 1 column 1?

The fish in picture 4 on page 1 is either an Amphiprion frenatus or an A. melanopus. ( I think it's just a dark A. frenatus). The stripe is actually white, it just looks blue in the picture.

For those that are interested, the pictures were taken with a Minolta Dimage A1.

Page 1 column 2 row 2 looks like GSP..does it grow from a mat?{if it is it looks like it's starving for light..that's why the polyps are so long}
Page 2 column 1 row 1 is a bubble coral{plerogyra sinuosa..maybe flexuosa} which is an octobubble or pearl bubble..{has small bubbles}
I did'nt notice the other pages..DOH! :mrgreen:
