[Jmck]

Actually, i put some pictures here now, he has sent me some. Probably should have done it earlier, tell me if i got the chalice name wrong :P

two of the acro's are very similar, im sure you guys know the name, I have 0 idea of any of the acro's names haha

ill take more pics when they are in my tank :D

Thanks cage and pwny, this guy only puts his livestock on the australian forums, not on his website amazingly.. it sells in like 2 days!

There were so many nicer pieces i couldnt get :(

The pink one (pic #2) isn't actually an acro -- it's a stylophora (cat's paw).

Here is a pic of one I used to have, with its little crab (click to enlarge):



Looks like you'll be getting some AWESOME stuff!

 

[lilduud]

the first one kinda looks like pearlberry acro but i may be mistaken

 

[reeffreak]

I don't know my acro names either Josh.They do look great though.

 

[BL1]

Geez Josh complaining about having too many corals in one thread and then adding more in another. I wish I had that problem ;) They really look great though!

Haha Brian, these are the last corals I buy for this tank! in fact, I bought a few large pieces at the start that have now outgrown my tank so I need to sell them. but I'm addicted hey? lol wait till I get the big tank... maybe this is a dangerous idea for my wallet Haha!

thanks for the id btw I pick them up in 8 hours

It/s so easy to become addicted, every time I go to one of my lfs I buy coral, i'm going to see a guy that has loads of tanks in a large shed in his garden, they are full of coral and he sells them really cheap, frags for $4

 

[Jmck]

I can imagine being addicted for 4 dollars! all pieces look awesome except I put the wrong pics up and some of the acro's are huge colonies! ill pit pics up tonight.

has anyone got some good acro keeping tutprials?

 

[Jmck]

Ok, so i made a mistake in which corals i was getting (i misread the emails because i sent lots of pictures some of which were already sold) but here are the ones i ordered

and you will see one has some cut off pieces, it got stung, so he sent me an extra one, which is actually not very good looking, but does have a nice little crab hiding inside it lol

 

[ggNoRe]

Sorry to hear bout the one that got stung but those are still some awesome looking acros!

 

[Jmck]

Thankyou :) the first two are my favorite acro's, the first one glows so well under the actinics and moonlights, i love it

 

[Jmck]

by looking at the chalice, how long do you think it will take for it to encrust over that rock?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Nice Josh,i don't know what most of them are:lol:,but still nice:Cheers:

A looooong time. They grow slowly!! They are similar to SPS corals when it comes to their growth.
