If Erin can't get a FTS shot thennnnnn

What does a guy have to do to get a FTS? ;)

 

[ErinCahir]

Buddy and I will totally team effort this if we need to.

Fts ftw!!

On it!
I like to do my FTS with the Sun Corals open and usually I have this angelfish food stuff that I toss in and they open up - i'm out though. Will get a shot in this evening when they normally open.

Awesome pictures. I think you have d2 beat?!

d2's setup is one of my inspirations! I'm planning a huge upgrade next year (have to refinish basement) and will look to his setup for pointers.

Dendrophyllia Arbuscula spewing sperm and egg

I came home and noticed all my fish "hanging out" near my dendro coral so I looked to see what was going on. I realized the dendro was spewing egg/sperm into the water column and all the fish were eating it (or biting at it anyways). Ran and got this on my iphone. This was fairly continuous and was repeating itself every 5-10 minutes. I captured more it on my DSLR and will have a longer edited version later.

Didn't you win one of the POTM contest with a picture of this coral? Your dendros are really beautiful. I think the conditions in your tank are perfect for them to spawn. That's really cool :).

yeah, it was a close up of this colony.

Great job Noy, very envious of your tank! Those are some beautiful pieces.
