Hog 1 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Hog 2 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr  Here's a recent FTS too to end off. Colours and stability in the tank are improving week by week. I'm really very impressed with the Tropic Marin Bio-Actif system. It's perfect for a newbie reefer like me to get a nice sps system going FTS by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Nice....Can use as Computer Desktop pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member illumnae Posted January 2, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2018 Photo dump time! Â Took these pictures before Christmas, but got caught up with work and preparing the Christmas video, so got delayed in posting them. Pictures are a little on the blue side this round - still learning my new camera. Â Will tweak the white balance next time. First up, here's an updated FTS: FTS by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr I have quite a number of coral top down shots, so I'll try to categorize them according to source. 1. Sulawesi wild colonies I got this one as a "Indo SSC", but it has morphed from pink and green with red polyps to purple with red polypsSPS 23 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr This piece was totally browned out when I got it, but it's since turned into quite a beautySPS 17 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Acropora selago? Â It has a very pretty golden sheen under actinicsSPS 14 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Recent acquisition - looks like it will turn into either a Watermelon millie or a Sunset millieSPS 12 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Another "Indo SSC" variant - this one retained the green, but the polyps morphed into a very interesting shade of dark pink, not the usual redSPS 11 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Is this a Paletta Pink Tip? Â When I first got it, the corallites glowed yellow/orange under actinics, but it seems to have lost that colouration. Â It paled off recently but is starting to darken up again - hopefully the glowy corallites come back tooSPS 7 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member illumnae Posted January 2, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2018 2. Australia wild colonies A very very interesting deepwater colony. Â When I first got it, it was red with neon green highlights. Â It is now purple, but has retained the highlights.SPS 13 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Very nice colony - Acropora nasuta? Â It has a mint green body with purple corallites and blue polyps. Â I have another similar colony under high light that has the same mint green body with purple corallites, but the polys are purple too instead of blueSPS 9 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Classic SSC. Â It turned entirely red for awhile, and is now starting to get the green back. Â I was told that I'm keeping it under too high lights and too low nutrients, hence the loss in green and predominance of redSPS 6 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr Not sure what this is, but it reminds me of snowflakes! Â Very Christmassy lookSPS 5 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr I call this my "Aussie Pikachu" - bright yellow with red polypsSPS 4 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr A "Rainbow" millie from Australia. Â When I got this colony some tips were showing blue in addition to the orange/red body and green polyps. Â You can't see it from the picture, but the corallites are now turning goldSPS 3 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr 3. Tonga wild colonies Recent acquisition from a long awaited Tonga shipment. Â Bought it as a "Rainbow Nasuta"SPS 2 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr From the same recent shipment, a different colour variant of the above colony - this one is pink with blue tips and red polyps.

SRC Member illumnae Posted January 2, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2018 4. Sabah wild colonies Sabah wild SPS are notoriously difficult to keep alive, so I'm glad that I managed to keep a couple of colonies. This one was another totally browned out colony I took a chance on - it stayed brown for months, then finally recently coloured upSPS 18 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr This tort/echinata/bottlebrush was neon yellow when I got it.  It's now neon green, but has regained some yellow at the tips.  Hoping to be able to get it back to its original yellow glorySPS 10 by Yi Xiang Lye, on Flickr 5.
