which site? what is it?

 

[ficklefins]

I really don't know much about sps except for the fact that I like montis, millis and birdsnest. But I must ask, is that SPS bleached or is that the nat color?

 

[epidemic]

looks like a turaki or echinata by the shape of the branches. Should color up nice.

Its an aquacultured mini colony. Ora frags used to look like that.
I wish they still sold them like that.

That's a nice looking bottlebrush. I love the long corallites.

Thanks, My sps took a big hit starting last year, I finally got everything coloring up. Now to replace what i lost. Some i cant, I lost a 12 inch diameter lokani.

Nice piece! The aquacultured stuff is getting better and better.

Sorry to hear about your sps problems last year. I haven't really seen any lokani for sale other than frags of the reefer madness lokani, 20000 leagues, and 30000 leagues. So far my lokani seems to be a slow grower, so the loss of a 12" colony would really hurt.

 

[Raptor]

Thanks, and yes a big blow it was. It was a look alike 20,000 leagues lokani. I mean identical. I could have cried. Ahh well it took me only 2 years to find a whole colony, When the servers back to normal i post a few pics of the lokani.

 

[Stixbaraca]

What site did you get it from?

 

[Raptor]

A friend out west picked it up for me.

 

[gflat65]

That hurts, Alex. I have just a baby lokani and it has some incredible colors. Not the fastest grower, though... 12" had to be huge.

Right after that i dumped zeo, I lost some amazing stuff. Ofcourse it was blamed on bad water perameters in the past, which i did not. Amazing that i kept it alive for a year, and as soon as i went with zeo i lost 1/3rd of my acro's, and all of my fish.
I was soo mad, My tank was fine i was lured over in the chance i could get the tank to glow. Little did i know then. The only thing i needed ws patience and a couple minor tweeks here and there. Now i am back on track, and my sps are starting to glow again. I almost left the hobby.
