@Oceanarium order is here! Thanks, Pete - particularly for the bonus brittle stars and frag rocks to try out :D .

Small Squamosa

Filter sponge (now in the sump intake chamber)

Amazingly bright green zoas, can't wait until they open properly

Birdsnest top right (got another different colour but it came off the stone so sitting on my frag rack), zoas bottom right are a bit duller than I thought (maybe under blues they will come better), and some beautiful 'gold' frilled zoas top left. (the button scoly is old and slowly recovering a blenny-acan assault)

'Canary yellow' zoas left, awesome chalice frag that has orange lines which 'glow'

Plus micro brittle stars, micro seahares, turbo snails, mysid shrimp. Overall VERY happy with the order, great quality products.

Very drool worthy!

 

[Synodontis]

Very nice mate!
Those filter sponges are pretty cool to. Have them growing in our DT.
Didn't have a clue what they were lol.
That chalice looks very nice :)

 

[MagicJ]

Some nice goodies by the looks of it - love the clam :)

 

[chimaera]

Thanks all! Everything seems to be settling in well so far. Clam reacts nicely to shadows which I take as a good sign.

 

[SpikeHoover&Rocky]

I like the Chalice but the Clam is awesome :)

Nice work.

Picked up these yesterday ... pretty cool though smaller than they look in the pics!

Better pics of some of the Oceanarium zoas. Am loving the greens and the purple with gold rims are magic.

Chalice & birdsnests

These are frags of the browned out acro I bought from Reeflections - base is green and polyps are a browny colour, new growth is white with blue polyps!

This yellow stag I got on the end is awesome, from Oceanarium originally apparently

You know when the new tank journals are running I'll start one for my smaller tank, because although 'lower tech' it's looking pretty good.

The red goni I struggled with for a while is slowly coming back ... not extending like it did initially, but enough to remind me how amazing it is.

Partly tempted to put it back in the main tank ... but don't think the wife will let me (the smaller tank is 'hers').

 

[Ian G]

I thought that goni looked amazing the other day. Really good colour.

My WA Beauty is going great, new growth and great colour:

The unidentified brown acro now is almost entirely green at teh base, while new growth is white with blue polyps

Frags of the same piece

Tricolour nicely encrusted and great purple colour

Few other frags doing nicely

Some pics of the shrimp hanging out with his goby lover mate

No worries :D Those clams are nice and very easy to keep, the cultured items equal if not better of what's available as wild collect. The breeder does a fine job and keeps the price competitive if not cheaper than WC equivalent.

I always thought green zoa were pretty plain and common.... but those flouro ones are now one of my own fav's :)

Those red zoa look pretty special.

 

[chimaera]

This poor scoly was in need of rescue from Reeflections ... so I did the charitable thing and gave it a good home.

Hope it makes a recovery, love the colours.

 

[Miller]

I have my fingers crossed for ya mate looks like a great scolly
Those sps frags look great
Tank looks like it's coming along awesomely ill have to come by and look again one day

 

[SpikeHoover&Rocky]

[chimaera]

Haha well, I plan to put some zoas up during the next week. Still not sure how SPS would be via Aus Post Express so was thinking they would be for the locals ... thought might give shipping a shot sometime.

Haha cool, what time were you there? I was there ... 2pm maybe? Did you get the 'damaged' purple, $60 or so? Almost took that one instead or as well as this one!

Definitely an SPS frag or two here for you ;)
