Give us some more info!!Where did you get them from? How much where they? How big are they (they look nice size though) and do you know their scientific names other than Acropora sp. ? Hows the polyp expansion on them.....the first one you posted looks almost bleached...I think I see a tinge of pink though....but yeah I do understand that what I see and what it really looks like are 2 different things. I have an Acropora hyacinthus that looks white no matter how you try to alter the lighting....but in real life you can see blue tips. Your running Iwasakis arent ya Newreef?

newreefman1 · 01-31-2002, 12:17 AM

the 1st one is actually purplish pink. I have to look up all the scientific names tomorrow maybe..ill post em. I got most of em at octopuss gardens in SD and traded for a few. They are all nice size colonies. Polyps are out in full on all of them. Nice commensal crab on the 3rd one too

they are all different sizes..the 1st one is the smallest...a few inches across. the others are quite large.

dont forget the one you got from me!!!

newreefman1 · 01-31-2002, 02:47 AM

No fooling...The lights seem to have bleached it a bit but the tips are neon purple and green polyps..IM hoping for a full recovery...Im also wondering if just the lack of actinics is doing the aestetic change..

But yes...its from you and I like it alot

i have more atinics...... i think my slimer is recovering..

newreefman1 · 01-31-2002, 02:51 AM

thats good. Maybe just a little stress eh?

naser · 01-31-2002, 02:54 AM

no alot of stress.... its all dead but one tip and one poloyp. its kinda weird that its all dead but on little green poloyp...

newreefman1 · 01-31-2002, 02:56 AM

Did it bleach out, or have the tissue fall off. If you have some life you may be able to save it...thats better than none eh?

Is that the same on all the colonies? If so..that sucks royally

If youre up for a trade tomorrow..I think ill be around in the evening...
