Well we raided the bargin tank again today and picked up another cool coral.
This one i hope will be easier to ID.
Please note it has only been in the tank for about 30min.
cheers

Euphyllia paradivisa

 

[mscott]

hmm, i dont know magic, all the images on google and the first page look nothing like it

 

[brendore]

Looks more like Euphyllia divisa I can't see any distinct branches of E. paradivisa

 

[MagicJ]

Agree brendore - I did this quickly at work, a little too quickly it seems ;)

mscott, the common name for these is Frogspawn Coral.

 

[brendore]

No worries Shane. I'll be there to back you up aha :D

 

[mscott]

Thanks guys, now I have a name for it. Cheers

 

[mscott]

Would you guys be able to point me in the direction of a nice royal/deep blue coral, I'm looking for something of that colour to add to the tank
cheers

after sitting overnight, we got this pretty picture today, makes me glad i dodnt buy one of the larger ones :)

 

[slin1977]

That is a beaut coral, good score!

 

[MagicJ]

Looks good :)

 

[mscott]

Thanks guys.
I was thinking about grabbing one of their bigger ones, but after seeing how this has turned out im glad i didn't.
Their biggest one is about a 25ish cm diamiter skeli, and i was contemplateing but this one is great enough for me haha

You could start a frag emporium with the big one. I don't think I have seen a pink frogspawn like yours before.

 

[Josh M]

Won't be able to drag blue zoas for a while they are VERY slow growing and as such heaps expensive $10 per polyp instead of $10 per frag :(

 

[mscott]

if i can ill head in tomorrow and take a shot of their big one, i might even grab it to frag and share around.
At the price it is i reckon it would be quite easy to break even on it.
How do you frag these anyway??.
cheers
