Latest addition: Fire Coral

(taken from www.reefkeeping.com - All Fire corals are calcareous hydrozoans and belong to the genus, Millepora. The other calcareous hydrozoans, including the azooxanthellate lace corals, species of Stylaster and Distichopora, are closely related to Millepora, but are put into a different taxonomic group. Being hydrozoans rather than anthozoans, Millepora are not true stony corals, although their abundance does allow them to be a major contributor to reef structure and sediments. Fire corals are found in tropical seas, worldwide, predominantly on reef crests and in shallow waters subject to high water movement. For an unknown reason, they are conspicuously absent from the reefs of Hawaii. Rapid proliferation by fragmentation allows rapid growth and encrustation of Millepora on the windward reef crests. Upright branching and vertical plating growth forms are found in areas removed from severe wave action.)

I ever bought a yellow anemone and after one week, dun seem to be doing well and eventually i threw it away.

This is a good close up shot of my orchid brain and my fire coral using canon powershot G10.

Lastly, an overview.

Thanks bro, the mushies are from JH@ west coast which i got them 5 months back. Saw some purple mushies at GO which Lemon had bought one.

You can call GO to see if they still have.

I bought that maroon on impulse. Feel like letting him go at labrador park open waters. Has been with me for 6 months.

Wah... Siang,

you collecting blue mushies ah??? so many of them.

(too many liao... you should try to clear some and put into my tank)... haha.

can PM where you got them and $$$?

u got some really nice LPS, love the orchid brain... very colour and big piece.

Consider trading (or give away) your huge clown for a pair of small true perc, think it'll create more space.

nice nano.

The blue mushies are from JM...$35 per rock (5 months with me liao). Initially, purple...because of pro-long T5 lighting, they became blue.

So far, that maroon clown is doing alright...not that aggressive. If you want, you can have it, FOC. Colour is dark red.
