soft coral tanks are very nice theres lots orf motion in softy tanks im sorry about the pop ups not much i can do about that but

Where did you find that? At low tide? Just kidding.

I'm just feeling defensive as I really liked my little majano and had to kill it cause it was starting to look way too health.

I agree about softie tanks. My goal is to have a medium dirty softie tank with fairly clean water, and a really cool ricordia. Oh and I have a pair of tank raised A. ocellaris clown fish (very orange) that are practicing really hard to spawn. I am really jazzed!

I'm just getting out of soft corals, but I am not sure from the pic. In one pic they look pink and in another they look orange? Definitely a "tree" coral. Kenya trees are usually purple. So it could be a colt or nepthea both of those are normally pinkish and have that general shape. If the one is orange and and has shorter/tighter branches then it is probably what is sold frequently as "Bali soft coral". If that is what it is they are great looking, one of the best softies around, but a little more difficult to keep than most softies. I would search the internet for good pics of the ones I mentioned and see if they match up well with the actual specimens.

colt or limnallia

not sure on the spelling but looks like a limpnallia or a colt coral

 

[morgan]

the pictuers are all the same coral 2 are flash pics i am almost positive its not limpnallia and do colt corals have feathery polyops cause the polyops on this coral are just straight lengths with small openings will post better pics tonight

 

[morgan]

it is also not kenya tree as i have a peices of that

 

[Willy]

Its not Lemnalia PICS

Not a Colt PICS


Just my two cents

 

[ecobalance]

didn't look closely

now that u say that i do see the feather look to it,almost like a fire coral

 

[tike]

I have never seen anything like it before! Sorry...

 

[morgan]

a fire coral i thought they were stoneys corals. this coral is deffenetly from the australia region most likely between western australia and the n.t.
it has no feathery polyops just spines which are just as soft as the main body and i dont think its a fire coral because it didnt sting me at all

Cool....I don't think any of us have seen them before....that is the beauty of this hobby!

 

[morgan]
