[shawy2510]

I got a few back here in England mate but your collection is stunning

Whenever I play c.o.d the Americans always seem to win & yes its funny playing with each other across the pond. Im sure there was plenty of banter

'Nuff said... Rainbow Maul morph.

[cbrennan4]

Love that rainbow maul morph! So glad you help convince me to pick it up

 

[mfollen]

Is that rainbow maul from AquaSD? I've got one coming later this week :tongue:

 

[buddythelion]

That rainbow maul morph is amazing! I love the pattern...

I love seeing these. You guys are great with the names and lineage....I don't know how you keep track. I've had so many zoos come and go it breaks my heart to see all of these. These pictures are truly amazing as our your photography skills.

Thanks for the comments. It should be the same, I also see it around as CC Rumpshakers. It's a bit confusing ASD named them rainbow mauls since there's already a rainbow maul variant from ASD that's been around in the hobby.

No love for the new morph. :cry:

I called my version 'brimstone'. Time will tell which name sticks!

 

[buddythelion]

Here's an update on that hornet type morph from awhile ago! Most of the white speckling went away but it got much much brighter! Glad that most of the coloration did not morph.

I think Nectarine is a fitting name... They might be clockwork oranges but then these are the nicest clockworks I've seen. The orange ring is really bright and with they do have an alternating skirt of green and then a seafoam/light blue green. I can only pick up the alt skirt on camera though, much too small to notice with my human eyes. :squigglemouth:

And just for fun... BAM. Actinics! It's easier to see the alt skirts here. They GLOW

Poinsettia update, doing awesome.

Picked up a Bowser from Joe Knows Reef. This is the lineage from AIM (Aquarium in Motion) / Jay Painter, the original Bowser before Dream Corals got theirs. So this is the original Bowser morph. They're still small so I'm excited to see them larger.

Comparison shot, should be obvious between the three which is which (Poinsettia, Bowser, CAR)

PZ Detonator, growing really well.

Tropical Martinis still going well. :bigsmile:

Speckled Fire and Ice from the display:

Waiting for these to fill in the zoa garden in the display. Started most of these as 1-2 polyp pieces.

Feels good to know that this all started from only about 2 polyps. Anyone else notice that PZ Prometheans colony underneath?

Are those CC Blue Supernovas above the Rastas?

 

[poomba]

Darwin, Im getting out. But when I get back in the hobby, you are going to need to cut me a frag of those Pointsettas!

Yessir!

Darwin, Im getting out. But when I get back in the hobby, you are going to need to cut me a frag of those Pointsettas!

What what, out of the hobby?! And np man, I'm still waiting for them to not cluster as much so I can make myself a spare frag for display purpose and one for growout. They grow so thick together like all CAR variants. :sad:

Yum yum. New pics!

Granny Apple Smiths

Speckled Gold Mauls

Aztec Sundials:

Blood Oranges, like a hybrid between God of Wars and Florida Oranges

Ghsotbusters: I'm not a huge fan of pink. But the pink is so bright it's like from another dimension... Or like flamingo poop.

 

[buddythelion]

And I can't forget... Rainbow Rhinos. My blue rhinos never got the pink on the skirts. Def know the difference between the two now.

 

[joshporksandwich]

Nice! I see a pettern of lots of pink stuff.
