Acropora tortuosa

Here is a picture of the blue Acropora tortuosa I got from Steve in Feb. It seems to be liking its new home IMO.

Regards,
Kevin

Hey Kevin!

Break me off a piece of that KIT-KAT-CORAL! But really that is a nice piece! How large is it? It looks to me about 4" or so across.

I am just feeling the need to chime in here in agreement with everyone else and say that is a great looking piece.



Do we have a smilie face on the list that is drooling? This would be the perfect time to use it.

Sweet sweet coral, Kevin.

I got it in a trade along with a few others just as nice. It is about 4-5" long. It is a bit darker than it shows in the picture but very blue. I just keep shoveling in the calcium chloride and buffer and hopefully it become a nice colony and not get lost in the acro forest.

Regards,
Kevin
PS: Chuck I've been working 12hrs/day 7 days a week trying to get the store running. It was much faster to get a plant built in Mexico, Poland, or Brazil when I had a large staff of professionals V.S. my amateur carpentry, plumbing, purchasing, financial, IS, and electrical skills

Hi Chuck,
I'm open now I have about 80 fish and my 90 gal full of coral frags from my home tank. I'm just getting 12 more tanks online as soon as the sand comes in (today I hope). June 1st my 2 - 4'x4' tanks are supposed to be delivered. One will be for aquacultured corals from my home tank and the other will be Walt Smith corals and farm raised clams. Then I can start to focus on a web site and online sales

Regards,
Kevin

Kevin, that is a very nice looking store you have started. I envy those in your area as they will have a super place to buy nice healthy corals etc from. They will have good info from someone who knows.

Best of luck.
