Pictures of My Corals! Tell me what you think...

[Noober]

:thumbs_up:Here is pics of most of my corals. I am new to the hobby as im sure most of you that read my posts know, lol, so I was wondering how these corals look in expierenced eyes, some of them I dont even know what they are, and if they are declining what I can do to ensure their success. Thanks a lot everyone without you guys I would have never succeeded as far as I have!:bighug:

Ok here is my Anenome, he finally come out of hiding under the rocks and is eating whatever I feed him.

Here is some orange polyp montipora that I got from austin, Its almost doubled in size so far and I dont have access to any plankton yet, but I will soon, Are the white tips a sign of them growing?

Here is my new favaties or however you spell it. It has a couple polyps worth of skeleton showing from a puffer eating at it at the lfs. I hope it grows back and its sweeper tenticles strech out about 1/2" to 3/4" at night and sometimes when i feed during the day. Is that as long as they should be?

Here are my very bleached button polyps. They've always been dark green but now are very much like a colony or light army green, they get more light now and are a bit misshapen, I have noticed they are overcrowding each other very much. What can I do to resolve this bleaching?

This hammer coral has been looking the same for a long time, once in a quarintine tank a chocolate chip star ate half of it, the polyps grew back but it still never gets any bigger overall. How can I make it branch off a lot like the one I've seen in a lfs of abilene tx. It looks like a tree.

These have spread out a lot over the past couple months, but they dont keep their polyps out all the time like they used to? Any ideas? What is that fuzzy stuff on my rocks?

These dont spread much but they always have looked like they do in this pic.

This sponge grows this gunk on its branches, it used to be cyno but this stuff looks whiteish/clear. Otherwise it seems to be slowly trying to grow extra branches.

This one, I have no idea what it is, but due to the skeleton showing I'm thinking its some sort of LPS. Any idea of the name, difficulty level, and or if these polyps that are missing are going to grow back?

Here is my unknown sps coral that i got with about 100 lbs of live rock (half of the rock in my tank) from brewer on here, i think that was his name. It was totally brown and all skeleton when i got it but this one growth tip came up outta nowhere when i placed it under some bright mh lighting in my old fifty gallon tank. I put it in this one and it appears to be increasing slowly in size. Any Idea on what it is. I was thinking possibly acropora.

Here's one of my zoa colonies. My biggest and most loved by my two clowns. Sometime they get rowdy in there but for the most part they are gentle and the zoas keep reproducing at a fair rate and the zoa's dont seem to be getting damaged.

Thanks a ton and I really appricate any comments you guys and girls have on the health of my corals! Good day....

very nice corals

[Troutmasters02]

Let me know when you want to frag that nice zoa colony. Nice corals.

[R.Allard]

i would move your button polyps and your gsp lower in the tank. IMO(in my opinion) they do better in lower light or in indirect light.but thats just me. everything looks good though :)

Thanks to all you for your kind words and advice! :) Troutmasters02 I currently have a nice size rock that is resting up against the back side of that zoa colony and there is a row of polyps growing onto the new rock that is about 10 polyps long and 1-2 wide. So I'd say right now there is about 20 polyps on the new rock. I'm just going to let it keep going for a while so if you wanna make a trade later on it will be of good size. Thanks again~ Matt

the tree sponge looks like its dying off. if it gets any worse i'd pull it out because when those die, they contaminate the water.
id also get a clean up crew (blue and red leg hermits) to clean your rocks off.

[brewercm]

Very nice looking stuff. Watch that Favites and what you place next to it. Believe it or not those tenticles at night can sweep out several inches and sting other corals. I had one once and regret getting rid of it.

[Noober]

:thumbs_up:Thanks once again! Cliff do you remeber what that blue with green polyp SPS coral is that came with all that live rock you sold me? I guess i better spread the brain out a bit further from my other corals, I'd hate for them to sting each other. Grindhouse, I've got close to a hundred blueleg and scarlet hermits crabs, along with emrald and sally lightfoot crabs, 2 serpant stars, a nudibrach, 100's of nassiserius snails, many turbo's, a good handful of cerith snails, horseshoe sandsifting crab, a bunch of collinista snails, and many mini brittle stars. They dont seem to wanna eat this stuff for some reason?:thumbs_down:

Here's a full tank shot. There's a lot of stuff I want to do to it but I am afraid to change because I dont want to mess anything up haha. If that makes sense.

real nice I will have to admit the camera work was real good as well. I think you need a hot chick in the background of the bright orange zoos

[Noober]

I think i could possibly get my gf to pose naked and i could photoshop a mermaid tail on her and put her in the background of it, i'd need to get an underwater camera to make her hair look right though hahaha...... thanks for the comments man

[brewercm]

I think that is a piece of the tri-color that I had gotten from Sean (cpreefguy) at one point. Actually a very nice piece and it will encust nicely which is probably what that came from.

[Noober]

thanks a lot dude :)

[chrismunn]

That is going to be a nice Acropora. If there is one polyp, the terminal polyp, at the tip of the branch, than it is an Acropora.

[Noober]

awsome man, I was worried about that polyp, I was thinking what the hell is this big deformed polyp at the top of it! hahah Anyway thank to you I know now. Kudos man, and does anyone know what the heck the little LPS that is light green that looks like zoanthids is? Thanks again!
