Erick's 28g Nano

[Erick]

thanks I didn't really do anything though, just placed it in the tank, and kept an eye on it, I fed it when it was puffy once, but other than that I just left it alone.

Some interesting color morphing happening with my acan
When I first got it, it was purple/blue gray with a green mouth.
After awhile in my tank it now has a lot of nice glowing green on the outer area.

A color change for the better?

 

[Erick]

yea, I like when things go from drab to glowing. The frag of Acropora Validae I got from Reefer Dan has colored up a bit now also, there is some nice green around the polyp areas.

Some nice pics. The cryptic six line is hard to get pictures of.

I finally get around to taking pictures of the mini carpet anemone I got from Tonggao, it's near the back of my tank so it was a pain to take a pic of it. I had to take some blind shots.

It looks like the clowns have a size difference in one of the photos above. How are they doing? Are they still fighting?

 

[Erick]

They don't fight they are past that stage, the one with the dot on the one side is the female (bigger) and the one that is misbar is male.

My mini carpet anemone was on the move and is now in a visible spot / easier to photograph spot.

This Acan was one of the first corals I ever bought so here's a growth update it started with 3 polyps that were cut in half and baby poly that was also cut in half, now it is at 8 polyps and colored up nicely .

Erick, the mini carpet looks very healthy in your tank. It surely is a runner, but once it find a place that it likes, it will stay there for a long time. Btw, did I tell you its parent (or grand parent) attacked me when I accidentally touched it with my inside wrist (skin on hands are too thick for their poison), and took out a dollar sized skin for about a month (it was an ugly sight with the skin gone). After the incident, I was told it packs some of the most potent poison among anemones.

 

[Erick]

The monti in the middle of this pic is kind of funny, under the MH lights it looks like this brownish orange and you can kind of make out the greenish polyps, but under just actinic lights it's white with super neon green polyps. I'll take a pic of the actinic tomorrow.

Nice tank Erick! Was this FTS taken with the MH on?

 

[Erick]

yep, it's the only way I can get a good shot, shading depends on the angle of the camera if I aim the lens down a little the picture will be darker if I aim the lens up the picture is lighter.
