well, 3 primary colors Red, Green, Blue... the only one I don't have a lot of is Blue!!! so far, I've only have 2 blue zoas and SuperMan monti for the blues... looking to add an LPS, softie, and/or easy to keep SPS to add more blue in my tank... any suggestion is appreciated... if you have pics, even better...

Thanks...

get a blue tort, they are very easy.

Or better yet, get some Blue Bottle Brush from ORA...very hardy, very easy.

Tubbs Blue Zoas are nice, I have some to trade. I also have ORA Blue Bottle Brush and a couple other Blue Acros to trade.

get a blue fungia plate.

or get a blue and red aussie scolymia.

or get a blue tipped hammer coral. (kind of uncommon)

get some blue ricordea.

get some blue mushrooms.

Oregon blue tort is really easy and has one of the best blues in the hobby.

This is a really old pic but Marv - get these blue sponges. They usually come in huge colonies, relatively cheap, hardy (doesn't seem to care if exposed to air) and no extra feeding necessary. That shot was taken under PCs, but few pieces I have under T5s just glow vibrant blue.

Kigs those sponges are wicked!

I'd love some... my angels would love it even more though.

Marv I think with the style of your tank the Tub's and Ric's would fit in nicely. A superman montipora wouldnt be bad either. I just think an acropora or tort (both great colorful options and great in their own right) would stand out like a sore thumb in the Z/P/Softie dominated tank. Would be cool to be able to do but I think the others would fit in better

I was thinking FL rics as well... I already have a 200+ polyps of True blue (aka Tubs) and the Purple Hornets... the SuperMan monti takes the top right corner of the tank... and I think a nice true blue FL rics spread in the tank will do the trick... just need to see them in person to make sure they are "blue"...

Thank you guys for the suggestions...

Where did you get those from Kigs?!

Kigs! · Dec 5, 2008

Local store, they come in at least two or three times a year.

Zoalover34 · Dec 5, 2008

Kigs! · Dec 5, 2008

Nah still letting mine out grow a bit more. I'll let you know when I do though.

Here it is. It on the sand all the way in the back. Bad spot to take a pic. But you get the idea.

Zoalover34 · Dec 5, 2008

Those are sweet!

How about a blue stylophora? This is an old pic from April of this year and, since I used the flash, it looks a bit browner then it is. But it is very blue and a very cool piece.

How about these tubbs for blue?

I bought 7 polyps and didnt frag them for two years. Ive sold like 30 polyps and i have an 11 polyps frag another colony.

The mother colony is over 200.

Colony after 6 months

Started this colony off with 10 polyps two years later they have some blue in them
