sinularia sp

So here is my growing Reef plan: I am planning a lagoon style biotope. I want it to look like an indo pacific lagoon but really like the red sea pseudochromis and clown fish. I think it is rather difficult to get coral from the mideast so, I will settle for indo-pac species. Corals : Kenya Tree...

Greetings fellow The Reef Tank-ers, I figured that a tank profile would make good use of my first post here on TRT. This tank was started in July of 2006 and is my first "real" attempt at keeping a successful reef aquarium (well.. there was a 10 gallon before this one, but it was hardly a...

Want to be famous? Okay...well probably not like famous, famous, but I'm looking for someone with a full-blown softie tank that is interested in having their tank profiled in a short article on which I am working. I posted this in the soft coral forum as well. Please let me know if you...

I bought a beautiful open brain (Trachyphyllia) about 2 weeks ago. I put it in my tank next to a large leather...I didn't know that leathers and brains don't mix. Now the brain is severely receding and the skeleton is showing in places. Tonight I read that they are susceptible to the chemicals...

Hello, I bought this from my LFS and they said it was from Palau and that it is Green Finger or Tree Coral (Sinularia sp).It doesn't look like any pictures of Sinularia Flexibis I can find in that mine doesn't have as many bumps on the branches and it doesn't look like any Sinularia sp...

Im about to start my first nano reef and im thinking about purchasing a 14 gallon oceanic bio cube for $170. Are these nice? Capable of supporting a beginner reef? Are there better options for similar price (+ ship) online somewhere? Is it big enough to keep a decent balance? Thanks in...

I am looking at doing a mixed reef tank. My main concern is that i want to keep SPS. Along with the SPS i want zoas, mushrooms, LPS, micros, acans and some leathers. Will they all get along?

I don't know if any of you remember but I was asking about an ID on a particular coral and I had pretty bad photos of it I've got a good one now so please ..........

Morning Stooges! Well this is my monthly, long week. Today is day 1 of 12. Let's keep this going.

I feel so stupid. It's been a internal debate about weither or not I will post this,.. and I decided you all could probably get some info out of it. This tank has just suffered MAJOR losses: The crash was caused by a major kalk overdose. As some of you know I've had problems with the Kalk...

Hi all. At first I wasn't going to join the nano build-off, but decided late in the game to join in. I have some of my initial build pics, but not all so I'm hoping it won't count too much against me. I just couldn't resist the build off. So as the title suggests, my tank is a 20 gallon high...

ive had a sinularia frag for a few months now and it always expanded really well, until adding a lobophylia(i think thats what it is). the last few days the sinularia seems really peeved, not opening much at all. is this probably a result of chemwar that leather corals do? i do run carbon in...

picked this coral up today for 25 bucks. just was named "leather" but i know ive seen these corals around but im stumped on the name. tree leather keeps coming to mind but i dunno i looked them up and it doesnt seem right anyone know?? its in my 55g

I got this wrasse a month ago. The LFS told me it was an 8-line wrasse but after doing some research I think it is a member of the Halichoeres genus, either a female H. melanurus or H. vrolikii. Anyone know which? Also, is this leather a sarcophyton or sinularia species? Thanks for any help!

can you ever have to many corals?? does the tank ever get overloaded?? i mean like bioload

Has anyone else had a problem with bleaching of just a particular coral? I have several species of acropora in my tank that do great...but everytime I try and place a piece of millipora (acropora) it ends up bleaching in 3 to 4 weeks....does anybody have a clue why this happens? I do have some...

ok, here are some better shots of that weird thing i got, any help now? with flash with out flash polyps retracted

I have read it a bunch of times, the wording is always different but the meaning is the same. "Softies do better in a dirty tank" But nobody has ever bothered to debate the topic, nobody I have seen anyway. Something got me thinking about this earlier today and I thought this would be an...
