Hi @Reefer1978 . Can you get a good close up of Jersey bounce mouth to see what it looks like? I got a halfway decent pic of my morph. Just curious if its close?

 

[Reefer1978]

Will do later on when I go down there @LRT

This is another one I'm interested in seeing what happens with a baby from scratch!
Was labeled as Toxic bounce in a pack I got. Didn't resemble any Toxic bounce ive seen so I chalked it up to mislabeled. Didnt care it was free.
Felt like the bubbles where perfectly too round but some of them are starting to bounce bubbles on bubbles so will be interesting to see how the baby develops
Full blast under highest light intensity i have on rack. Also cooking the baby Neptune bounces as well.
So far so good

@LRT get that algae under control bud. Neptunes (At least in my experience) are not strong fighters and prefer to kill algae by melting into a goo.

10 4 thanks for heads up need to get a cpl plugs cleaned up.

Me and red corris wrasse are quickly becoming best friends. Comes to see me when I visit table and caught him destroying an adult pod earlier totally smashing it like a savage on the rocks
Also got this yuma as an extra in a pack. Will be interesting to see how it does in my system. To date I haven't been able to keep them without them melting in my system for some reason.
Baby CandyCrush with purples got moved to better light as well.
Cleaned up those plugs too lol.

This gulf live rock is incredible man. Same rock I found the pink sponge on has a huge coral I thought was dead but is most likely coming back to life
8 months in sump totally white out.

This one looked the same way when I pulled it out of sump now it has green cloves all over it.

SCORE..very cool..

What kind of coral is it anyway? Going to be awesome to see what color/kind of cloves pop out of this big one

 

[fishguy242]

first one looks like brain/favia? second not sure, you sure clove??

 

[LRT]

first one looks like brain/favia? second not sure, you sure clove??

No I'm not sure at all honestly. More like clove looking star polyps. The one with green polyps looked alot like the one thats getting color back now before the polyps popped out. Dunno what these 2 corals are though.

 

[fishguy242]

1st one pretty sure true brain family..2nd ?? alveopora ,poss goni ??? not sure,but nice

Thanks man I was thinking possibly goni or alve for green polyps.
Would it be crazy for a brain coral to just come back to life? It was totally dead white a cpl weeks ago when I pulled rocks out of sump!

sympodium.
I like it. others don't. aggressive grower.

I would've guess goni only because its polyps extend from a hard shell. It is pretty cool hasnt grown much i really wouldn't have considered it an aggressive or nuisance grower. Seems like it would take forever to cover the rock its on lol

this is a louzy pic, but it's my first sympodium. alveopora is to the left.

this is the one I just got from Cherry Corals.

Nice. How fast did your first sympodium encrust and grow? I don't think mines grown at all besides polyps filling out.

I had weird things going on back then. things were dying in the order they went in to the tank. I believe it was aluminum toxicity from the ceramic blocks I had in the sump. since removing them and doing weekly water changes I haven't lost anything. so I lost that sympodium and 2 others. I also lost all 4 alveopara.

so to answer your question it didn't. I just got the Cherry Coral one last month.

but here's something strange. where that first sympodium was I have a carpet of tiny blue cloves. they didn't come in on anything else. and they are expanding quite quickly. you can see them in this pic.

Huh thats crazy man I'll have to keep an eye out. I'm going to check it out in dark. I wouldn't imagine that could happen. It appears to be a nice tame little hard coral with soft polyps that doesn't do much haha.
