Re: my first coral!

this coral is amazing to watch. he has came to life soo much since i brought him home. the pic was taken only a few hours after i brought him home. the lfs i bought him from only had 90 watts of light in his 55 gallon display tank. the poor thing was closed up and not very active when i bought him. it took a couple hours before he opened up. after 3 or 4 days he was extended at least three times the size of when i bought him. now it's been nearly a week and he's actually pulsing. not really fast like some others i have seen. but still very beutiful. probally not very exciting to you guys since you have had corals for a while. but it's kept me quite amuzed. just adding to my addiction that much more.

Re: my first coral!

I know the feeling Fish. I go to the LFS thinking I'm just going to get one small thing and walk out with over 100 bucks worth of stuff every time. I went to "just look" and ended up getting my first corals LOL. I would join a 12 step program but I'm afraid they would make me give up my tank.

Hmmm that sounds a lot like my very first fish tank when I was a kid...ummmm more than a few years ago....Nope not going to cut it for me.

I think I will blame this addiction on my mother for letting me win a goldfish with the ping pongs at the fair LOL.
