[Luke]

The colour is a bit out of whack in the picture :(

Is that a favia? Looks nice mate.

 

[Luke]

Hi mate,
It's a Favites , Close enough to the same for me
The way to tell them apart is Favites share a common wall in the corallites ,
Favia have more of a solid part in between each eye
Maybe not the best way to explain it

But its a great looking coral , Glows under blue LED,
Pity all my pics look washed out under only blue LED :(

 

[Luke]

An interesting thing also mate,
The Halimeda sp you can see growing in the left corner of the tank , Was on that rock when i first bought it many years ago now ,

After the blue tang destroyed it , It never grew back , Even after the tang died ,
Untill i bought the Illumagic LED's , Now its growing like never before ,
Its very strange, Because it's been gone for years :eek

 

[slin1977]

That's a nice surprise mate. Pls chuck up a photo when you get a chance.

 

[Luke]

The lights are off atm ,
But here is a picture of it in the dark , I will take a better one of it tomorrow

 

[Luke]

A few of my sps have browned out a bit , Im not sure if it was all the rock moving , Or the fact that i had to move some of them ,
Oh well they'll recover , ( i hope )

 

[slin1977]

So it's like a sea weed plant eh?

 

[Luke]

Yeah, Sorry mate ,
I still cant get over that it started growing again

 

[slin1977]

Lol, looks like its growing quickly.

I had the pleasure to see this tank in person last night - I really like the height and depth and the aquascaping looks great.

Took a few photo's but the lights were already in the sunset ramp, and eventually turned off so the quality is a bit off (that's my excuse anyway).

Here's a few to start with - I will post up some more in the next few days.

This hammer is amazing

A very nice plating monti

Some pics of my tank that are in focus :eek
