Congrats on the first coral.

Thanks James and yeah, Gabby. I'm a bit excited, but not too much. I have to see if they will make it first so we'll see

Krish,

That just made your tank man. It looks so cool. Very nice picks. I really really really like em!! I would love to put some of them in my tank.

If you don't mind me slamming you with a ton of Qs Krish, but do they need a ton of flow? I may be getting some tunzes if so. They really look awesome! Can they be hard to keep? Do they require certain things that you may have to add to the water Calc/Kalk? Are they considered a hard or soft coral?

Again Krish they look awesome and i really love the way your cube is looking.

Thanks Nick! I have a few things up my sleeve so keep your eyes open throughout the next couple of weeks As for if they need flow and their care level, click on the link i posted in the first post which I said Sherman gave me and it wells you all about them. From what I gathered though, they need quite a bit of flow and and are said to be a bit hard to keep. If I run into any trouble with these ones dying on me, I may try and frag one directly off of a reef and see how it does

Cool Thanks Chief!

 

[Krish]

LOL...No prob!

 

[Kensn]

Krish send one to me, and if you have any problems, I can just send you frags off the one you send me until you get it right......

 

[Krish]

LOL...Ok Ken! If they don't make it, it won't be because of my waters parameters because they are in check. Could be the way I tossed them in the tank though :shock:

 

[Kensn]

I think it is important not to expose them to air in the transfer process.....

 

[Krish]

They were a bit by accident... :doubt:

 

[Krish]

Man!!! They seem to be doing well!! I came home and the polyps were out more than yesterday as you can tell by the pics. If you look good at the full tank shot, you can tell what parts of the gargonian has the polyps extended and which ones are closed up!

 

[brady816]

looking very good i seen some of them at the store a few days ago. A different color. ohhh nice clear pic what kind of camera

 

[Krish]

hanks Brady! The camera is nothing special. It is Nikkon Coolpix. I don't have a tripod for it and it can't use interchangeable lenses, but does the job

 

[SueT]

wow, that looks like some happy gorgonians.. very nice find..

 

[Krish]

Thanks Sue!! Hopefully I'll find some more cool things

 

[SueT]

where you are krish, I have no doubt, lol..

 

[Krish]

LOL...I'm in the center of Alaska!

 

[Sherman]

Alright, even more envy. They look absolutely awesome, Krish. They must be so relaxing to watch, we'll start calling you Krish50. 40?

That's it, I need to find a spot for one of those in my tank.

 

[shallowreef]

Krish the coral seems to be doing very well what are you supplementing your tank with?

Nice pics!
