A little coral collage

Hagios · Jun 20, 2020

Hello Reef2Reef,

This pretty much is just going to be a pic thread. Just a bunch of SPS that I've managed to collect and keep alive given all pest challenges, equipment failures, and road pavings we all experience. Probably will be posting only a few from time to time.

So hope ya'll enjoy.

TSA Bangers Acro - difficult to get the orange in the polyps. Seems to come with maturity.

Sexy Corals Orange Passion - Starting over. Lost this once from the time they re-tarred the drive in front of the house. Forgot to turn off the skimmer

.

ReefRaft USA Angry Birds - Back-up/fragging colony.

Battlecorals Soda Popinski - Really like the weird growth form and color combo on this one. It sat and just looked at me for the first couple of years before it started growing.

BB Draw Jopper

TSA Rainbow Fusion - Really love this piece, buts its also been a slow grower for me.

Another perfect example of why not to ignore browned out pieces.

Oh no kidding! Really wanna see how that one turns out. What does it look like in daylight?

Great photos. Makes me want to consider more sps in the future. I have mostly lps with a few easier sps "experiments" now.

Current favorite.

Current second favorite, I think...kinda neck and neck with the first. Side-by-side shot of same acro. The one on the left is located between the halides, and the one on the right directly under.

Thanks bud! Not meant to make jealous, just inspire. We all know that in reefing, good things happen slow, and bad happens fast.

Awesome pieces and pics. What’s the name of this girl?

What do you keep your no3/po4 at?

My hat is off to you, gorgeous corals and pics of them.

@Chaswood79 that's TSA's Rainbow Fusion. It has been a steady, but slow grower. I use to think JFs Jolt and it were from the same maricultured colony since they seem to arrived in the hobby scene about the same time and they look pretty similar. I don't see as much of the Fusion around, and I think it my be due to it being a slow grower.

I am one of those guys that rarely check the nitrates and phosphates. When I do they have been non-detect. I've been in the hobby a while. From the time way back when they use to preach ULNS. I pretty much control supplement the tank with various additives like everyone else to to ensure everybody gets fed.
