**kevinpo** · 01-03-2003, 03:35 PM

Rocky,
Oooh Aaahhh! Thanks for that

That pink milli is sooo cool. What is the blunt tip purple one? 4th from last pic. A. gemmifera? It is sweet!

Regards,
Kevin

I also have a question

In the last pic,the green colony,is it gemmifera as well?I have one green colony that slightly resemble this but I could not get id

I have a pic of it if you don't mind I'll post it in your thread.

I have NO idea on this one....I have a few of them I need to pull out the veron book on and check to see what they are closest too

**kevinpo** · 01-03-2003, 04:54 PM

Rocky,
Look in Vol. 1 pg. 325 plate #6 it shows a A. gemmifera on the left and a A. humilis on the right side by side. Tell me what you think.

Kevin

Ok I looked there and you had me going there for a second, but humor me and turn to page 319 and read number 5 .....yada yada corallites aligned in rows down the branches which they are, so Im still gonna stick with A. Humulis because the corallites definately are more lined in a row, it is definately very similar though. Watcha think?

***zhenya*** · 01-03-2003, 07:09 PM

Hey Rocky,since you looking in the book,what you think this one could be?
If you don't mind ofcourse

**kevinpo** · 01-03-2003, 07:48 PM

Rocky,

Read pg. 324 under characters for A. gemmifera: "Radial corallites are of two sizes usually in rows".

Now that makes it clear as mud!

It's got such good polyp extension how can you tell if they are aligned or if the radial corallites increase in length towards the branch bases LOL

Cheers,
Kevin

scubadude, you have some very nice pieces there. I am SURE I could make some room for some of those ... hint hint

**organicreefer** · 01-04-2003, 01:54 AM

nice .some sweet peices indeed....

wheres all youre fish-surely youve got some tangs or angels in all that swimming space

**scubadude** · 01-04-2003, 10:02 PM

MDM,
Im sure we can do a trade w/as much as you have

Just give me some time to let some of my babys grow up.....The more and more I see pics of your setup the more I want to leave my reef alone and let it grow out :P

OR,
Thanx for the kudos

My fishies are in there....but the only one that isnt camera shy is my lawnmower blenny

Kevin
Dude your a trip! You are just making me realize how much more I love my Veron books! I spent almost an hour the other nite analyzing the book trying to verify that piece. I am very glad you pointed out the different growth patterns however Im still thinking that piece is closer to Humulis, the reason I say that is because the scutes (i guess thats the right verbage....the skeletal part just underneath the polyps) are much more pronounced and raised on the gemmifera than the humulis .....and dont ask me to send you a piece so you can analyze it either :P

Gene
LOL your gonna love this one (so will Kevin im sure) but I think your piece is also possibly Humulis

Keep in mind guys this is purely speculation on my behalf. Also Gene I was looking in Verons book for your piece and there are quite a few possibilities but its really hard unless you have the piece there and analyze the coral really good in real life with TONS of pics that it could possibly match through this book.

**kevinpo** · 01-04-2003, 11:04 PM

Rocky,
LMAO! Just so you know I also think your piece could be A. humulis maybe

Don't send anything to Chuck I've seen his tank just last month and I can assure you he has no room. You wouldn't put a tang in a 10 gal nano would you

Send them to me instead!

Gene,
As Rocky says it's so darn hard to tell but here's my guess

A. samoensis pg. 323.

Regards,
Kevin

***zhenya*** · 01-04-2003, 11:20 PM

Rocky and Kevin,Thanks

I'm going to take frags of it in a month or so and could send it to you so you could look at it and maybe pinpoint to the species

I wish I could take a good pic of the crab that lives in this colony...

PS.My wife ordered me Verons trilogy but it's still not here

**SCETT316** · 01-05-2003, 10:42 AM

Wow.........Rocky, your tank looks great. Awesome pics.
