Here it is, looking a little sad in the pics, but I'm surprised how quickly its picking up!

 

[Bifferwine]

It actually looks great for just having been added to your tank. Give it a few days to perk up.

 

[MikMcgyver]

Cool addition... Looks good..

 

[Melonbob]

Heres a few more taken about 10 minutes ago, like I said it picked up well. Hope I'm not driving you nuts...

 

[Piggy]

Very nice. Are these easy to keep?

 

[Melonbob]

Apparantly they grow like dandelions, which has me a little nervous. Once I started searching, most posts coming up were how to tame it.....lol

Congrats,looks like they are recovering nicely.

very pretty. I have never seen that coral before. Quite pretty. I think I want to add one to my 125 for my angels to look at. Nice pics. You must have taken lessons from lionfish

i heard they can be kept under high wattage normal floresents!

 

[Melonbob]

They are supposedly very hardy, low to moderate flow, low to moderate light....But I'm a little nervous about this thing spreading, and heres why

Taken last night when introduced

Taken at 4:30pm today....

Now I'm pretty new to this, but those little buggers weren't there in the first picture were they? lol

The cloudiness is just my purple up

i use to LOVE that stuff, but know i cant get rid of it fast enough. i have it growing on the bare bottom of my frag tank and it is starting to creep its way up the front acrylic.

 

[Melonbob]

Thanks for the compliments on the pics, I finally figured out super macro on the camera.......(:

 

[reeffreak]

Nice recovery,they may grow fast but not that fast.

 

[Bifferwine]

You may need to keep their growth in check, but lucky for you, clove polyps are a lot more "desirable" than say, kenya trees, so you will probably be able to sell them or trade them in at your LFS for nice stuff.

 

[Melonbob]

Nice recovery,they may grow fast but not that fast.

Good, cause I was honestly getting a little edgy there.......

 

[reeffreak]

I have some feathery anthelias that looks real pretty flowing with the current.They have tripled in number in the past three to four months.Congrats on yours and good luck with them.

 

[yote]

That is some great looking Anthelia.

 

[Melonbob]

Biff, you call it clove polyps, are they one and the same, and which name is used more often?

 

[reeffreak]

You have anthelias,clove polyps and xenias are actually related to what you have.
