I really like the Fox/Jasmine - it completely retracts at night, then extends to 2-3x its size - just overall a cool LPS 8)

Pete, that is nice ... I need to drop by and show you my new fragging tools ;)

Hey Pete, where'd you get that one from? I have one that looks identical, polyps and growth form, but it doesn't have the blue tips. .................and it aint a PB Josh! :lol Other than that it's the same? :)

Pete, you suck. Can I put mine over in your tank to color up? :angry

I'll put some pics in the next one.

Couple.

Sarmentosa is much larger now, but still a slow grower.

This is one of my Milles in it's prime. I lost about 95% of it during the transfer of tanks. But, saved several frags that have been spread around.

I think SmelleyBrad had one if someone possibly picked it up with others when he sold his stuff off. Pete has one. Scuba had one, but that Oceanic salt may have taken it down before he switched. :unsure

I think Fidel may have one too.

Of course I have a couple I'm nursing back too.

Thats the one ... the one thats coloring up like crazy over here in my tank :skeezy

TexasTodd

Here's another of Sarmentosa.

That Mille I posted can have about 10 different colorations depending on light intensity, Kelvin of light, tank conditions etc. I've never seen a coral that can change color so much. It also goes brown if you sneeze close to it. I literally moved the colony 6" within my tank once, without removing it from the water, and it browned out for a month!

The other coral here DIED. A serious lesson in why to spread frags around locally of any corals you love. This was a wild colony. I did trade frags, but none locally. Those lucky enough to have seen it live know the picture is not changed at all.

Green Mako................thos pictures are unbelievable!!
How do you get them so clear.

My 3/4' glass seems to distort the pic.............not to mention the focus on the camera...

Yes, Brian sucks.

Don't let him brush it off as nothing. He knows what he's doing. He also uses a tri-pod usually. :pics Which I'm sure helps with that NASTY delay the digital cameras all seem to have!

I need a volunteer to come take a few pics for me so I can post in this thread, I have some really cool stuff I think ya'll would enjoy seeing, acro wise. Its really frustrating looking at all these great pics and not participating. Webtv blows.

Brian---save it for the batchelor party! When is that by the way? I'm sure one of the shops would lend out for a night!

Pete, I was wondering when that was going to show up! Brian and your frags look a little better and I was hoping one of you would anti up with a pic.

One other one, that I really like, it's finally starting to color up with purple edging and purple tips. Has green polyps.

Ok, I'm a big fan of LPS and haven't seen enough of them yet. These are my brains, just got the peach guy from alex. The metallic green one is still my favorite though. I wish I had a camera that would really do it justice!

That's what I'm hoping for! It is being well cared for (lighting/varied foods) so maybe I'll get some good pictures of it after it colors up to compare it with. It is healthy though with good extension and feeder tentacles after the lights go off.

I think I put it under the red macro algae for inspiration!

That is awesome! I've always loved open brains. Hope it won't be too long before it colors up like yours!

Well, I offer my house as a place of drunkeness and fish tank stuff, after a few beers, sometime close to the date.

No spirits for the tanks however!

We'll plan a mellow MAAST party for you TWO. I know you grew up in TX so we'll leave the crazy Stuff to people you've known since you were a wee little shark. ;)

Well, just set up my 1st tank so these little guys are all I have (so far). I think that should qualify them as my favorites!

Thanks! Seems to be a lot easier to capture (nearly) inanimate objects as opposed to uncooperative fish!
