Re: UPDATED PICS!- My 90G Pile of Rocks

Thanks Guys!

Hey Phi, I think it is just a standard montipora digitata. It has a natural green-whitish  colour, but looks more blue in the pics.

Really Nice Tyler.  This is the first time I've seen a pic of your tank.  It looks healthy. 

My favorite is the northern delight   Take care of that one because it's something special.

Hey Darryl, thanks for the compliments, I'm taking care of your babies and will probably be back for more.

Cheers!

One thing I forgot to mention is watch out for those softies near SPS.....the shrooms and such can grow quite fast and sting the SPS.  You usually want to keep them very separated.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize that. If either have to go, you know which will be staying!

Hey KingTang, thanks for the kind words, its appreciated.

All the colours are just either a variety of soft and hard corals or encrusting coralline algae that is growing on my live rock.  Here is a link with more info....http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/aboutcorallinealgae/ss/coralline.htm

Looking awesome tyler.  Is that a chalice in the bottom 1/3rd on the right?

Man that stylo is getting big on you quick.  How is the Northern Delight....showing any better colouration?

Thanks for the comments everyone!

You are correct, that is a decent sized pink chalice in the bottom 1/3rd on the right. It has been doing well along with two other smaller ones that are mounted close to it.

The stylo is doing phenomenal, havent touched it sinced its been in my tank.

I had to move the Northern Delight to a better spot because it was getting bigger. I kept rubbing against it during tank maintenance, so it is in a prime location now. The colour was a purplish-tan with dark brown/light green coloured polyps. Was better before I moved it. I think its doing well at the moment with half of the tips looking very light purple. I don't notice any polyps on the tips though..

When I get a chance, I will post some close up pics of some of my corals.

Cheers
