Just ordered some corals

[perpetual98]

So my Visa card was complaining that it was lonely, so I thought that I'd oblige it with some frivolous spending.

I ordered a bunch of coral frags and a couple of clams from a fellow reefer. He said that most of the frags are between 3/4" and 1.5" long.

Here's some pictures of the parent colonies....

What else is there to say....awesome critters! That's the best way I can think of to ding the plastic.

And the pics.... well one of these days I'm going to have to scrub all the tanks down then hijack you and that fancy camera and really give it a work out.

those clams look great good for you

Any time you want us to swing up with the camera, we'd be more than happy to. I think I'm going to steal some of your stuff anyhow.

As far as the clams go, I've wanted one forever, and the price I got these for I couldn't turn down. I think that the squammy and the crocea are some of the easier ones to keep. They're both large enough too where they aren't dependant on feedings, but would still probably appreciate them. I figured they're good "starter" clams until I can get into the more demanding tridacnids.

If the children look remotely like their parents, you're in GOOOOD shape! I love those clams, too! You've done your Visa proud!

Very nice corals Eric.I love the berry like corallite structure of the first 3 Acro's.That growth form is my favorite in Acropora sp.The pink coral above the green A.millepora appears to be Pocillopora eydouxi.I look forward to seeing some growth pics in the next couple months.
