Symphyllias, who has them?

[Oscaror]

So I recently got this AWESOME orange symphyllia, but I can't find much info on them. Who has these? And how do they do for you? Mine has a little missing tissue, but it was like that when I got it. It's nicely inflated, and the missing tissue seems to have come back a little.

Here's mine, photo doesn't do it justice!

Nice find!!!

I've only seen two Wilsonis in person and they happened to be in the same tank, as well.

Thanks! It must have been one of the brightest things in that tank.
What colour were the ones you saw?

One was a crazy orangish with some crazy red/orange/white colors, more blue streaks towards the mouths. The second one was one he picked up at a local frag swap for less than the price of a 12 pack of beer. The seller didn't know what he had. It was pale, but still look oh so neat with a pink overtone with some greens mixed in there. I wonder how it's doing... I haven't seen it in a while.

I just re-read your first statement. Funny enough it wasn't the brightest thing in his tank. He had this neon yellow plate and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, the pictures would have never had me typing this right now.

I have one I got from AquaSD that is pretty awesome. Its pink with a yellow center. I'll try to snap a pic of it. Mine has done fine since I've had it. It stings other corals pretty bad though so keep it away from everything. It stung half my sunset monti colony and almost damaged my master scoly too! Fortunately I was there to pull them apart before much damage was done.

Cool! I wish they had frag swaps here in Ontario ( ._.) they have one like once in a million moons.

Well maybe is I'm willing to dish out a hundred on CITES then I'll go to some frag swaps there.
I know the corals I could get would make up for it.

You know, sometimes I open my big ole yapper before thinking. And by sometimes, we all know it's most of the time.

Lol. Well I'll consider it anyway.

I don't have the best looking tank around, but my home is always open to fellow reefers!! :bigsmile:
