I've got some free zoas to give away. I've scrapped it off the bottom of my tank so your getting loose zoas that you'll need to glue down. You can have as many as you want. There are 2 types here. I've been told one of them is a midas, not sure what the other one is. I am also trying to...

@popper if your looking to fill up a high school tank with corals ping me. I don't mind giving away my large rock of zos! I may even have a rock of green yumas. I'm about to start a thread of more free zoas.

I noticed a Zoa in the ultra list. If anyone has a ultra zoa, they should put it in my tank. I grow them like weeds.

i have the same issue. Its like acrylic haze or something. I was doing my research and the only way to fix this is the sand and polish this using a mighty magnet and sand paper. fortunately you can do this without draining. I just ordered my magnets and plan on doing this shortly. For what...

Most of the islands gets pretty dull after 8pm. There is no night life in maui. Still worth the visit but 1 or 2 days max. Never been to the big island. For Oahu, get yourself some snorkling and flash light and you can hit sharks cove for some night time snorkling (there is an enclosed...

was gonna say... time for a ICP test of the trace elements. I have sps in my tank but the biggest trace element depletion for me over the last year of ICP testing is flouride and strontium. There are a few others but its not as much as the depletion of those 2. Now the problem is how much...

Sounds like the moonshiner method. Basically no water change, ICP for trace element. I guess everyone is doing that but with different names.

I believe these are all king midas? The red ones I got are still stuck on a rock. If I ever get them off OR if they start expanding off the rocks and onto my bare bottom tank, those will be free too. In fact they are already starting to spread so I will probably have more zoas soon in red.

I've got a frag on a plug. If your in san Francisco I can give ya a piece to test. Is the thought that if they were not compatible that they will kill each other? I've got the colony growing against a WWC yellow tip and they seem to get along! I thought they were gonna marry each other...

Well I didn't really want to have this "argument" so lets get back to the topic of this thread which is ID'ing corals. The swap is over but i'm just bringing this up because the orange creamsicle sparked my interest and I looked it up and it looks a lot like the one I have. Just wanted...

Thought I'd post this if anyone needs to prep for the next swap. I didn't have any foam to float the frag and I didn't want to just throw the frag and plug into the specimen container so I made this last night for the frag swap. basically its a stand to hold the plug in the center upright...

Sorry but for those that are this uptight about naming corals, sorry to break it to you but unless theres some kind of certification, DNA, whatever, you just have no clue what you got unless you personally got it straight from the source. I've got a fairly grown out coral and I'd just like to...

never got the identification for this but I noticed something that popped up on the ultra list and this coral looks an aweful lot like TGC orange creamsicle.

who do i rsvp with for the event?

Oh definitly not palythoa. I had them when I first started and never again. took me a while to get rid of every last one of those.
