new tank mates

[xtopher]

In all the hustle and bustle of getting my new closed loop going (still getting bubbles BTW) I forgot to take some pics of my new fishies, so here you go (they're not the greatest but these guys don't exactly pose for the camera )
oh and can anybody tell me what kind of coral is in the last pic I bought it as a candycane now not so sure THX

[Loverotties]

I love tangs,as for candy cane It's the fullest one I've seen!But it's a little dark to see.

[rmhuntley]

the Coral looks more like some sort of Acan to me.

[xtopher]

cause don't candy canes branch? this coral has a solid skeleton???

[Cosine]

I've seen corals that look like that sold as candy canes...
there's also a coral that i've seen sold as a type of brain that had a similar appearance...
sorry can't offer much help here

Good looking fish! I love sailfins!


It's hard to tell from a photo. Since the corallite walls appear seperate and not fused and it appears to have sub-meandroid morphology; I would say Lobophyllia sp.

May also be Favia sp.

[tims]

can you get a picture of the coral in noraml lighting?
is that at night time?
do you see any feelers or arms out at night?

i agree with vince it could be
Caulastrea furcata but losed up and not happy.
Lobophyllia sp.
Lobophyllia hemprichi
Favia sp

[skeety]

absolutely GORGEOUS tangs! Very nice!

as for the coral...my initial guess would have been Caulastrea of some kind(Trumpet), but if you're saying the whole skeleton is fused, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone on the Favia, or Lobo guesses.

Wish I had my copy of Borneman's book here at work. I'm sure you'll get a much more defined answer as the day progresses.
