Appreciate it, just trying to have a place to look back in a few years and see where the tank started, right now the tank doesn't feel like much to me yet - hopefully as everything grows in that will change.Love the update pictures!
It's a caulestrea just not the "Candy Cane". It's just a plain "Yellow Caulestrea"Cool looking tank. What kind of coral is this one?
Thanks to clarification. Love how the tentacles come out like a Duncan vs typical CandyCane.It's a caulestrea just not the "Candy Cane". It's just a plain "Yellow Caulestrea"
It is one of the most entertaining corals during feedings as it does all of the stereotypical LPS opening as soon as it senses food in the water.Thanks to clarification. Love how the tentacles come out like a Duncan vs typical CandyCane.
Where did you get it from? Online searches all got to Candy Canes....It is one of the most entertaining corals during feedings as it does all of the stereotypical LPS opening as soon as it senses food in the water.
Your picture has coral tentacles out which make it look different than the typical CCane or Trumpet when searching for them. Thanks again.@Jim Gomoll
These actually came from a friend who is also in the hobby, I got them from him last summer (only had 2-3 heads per branch at the time).
The closest I can find is what people are selling as "Green Trumpets" or "Green Candy Canes", or even "Kryptonite Green Trumpet".
ACI No Price listed (wholesaler)
SaltwaterAquarium.com $40-70 depending on how many polyps
Tidal Gardens $45
Yeah those are something! Ive never seen feeding response like that from trumpets before, nice!Your picture has coral tentacles out which make it look different than the typical CCane or Trumpet when searching for them. Thanks again.
Love the livestock list!Going to merge a couple of updates into one:
3/4/24:
Salifert Potassium came in, test came back at 450ppm so I performed a second test and got a confirmation as it was my first time using this test kit.
So using Potassium Nitrate to raise my nitrates is not a viable option for me as I am not in need of any more Potassium. So instead I will probably order some Ammonium Bicarbonate (aka Baker's Ammonia) if my next approach doesn't work...
...which leads us to...
3/5/24:
I custom ordered some fish, because I prefer aquacultured as much as possible these are all fish from ORA, I got them when the box came in so they didn't have to spend anytime in the LFS tanks.
8 Regal Damsels (one was DOA)
7 Pink Skunk Clowns
1 Striped Blenny
1 Randall's Assessor (aka Blue Assessor)
(I also ordered a Pink Birdsnest as it's been on my wife's wish list for a while, hence the one coral in the photo below)
Hopefully some fish fertilizer is going to help bring those NO3 as they'll generate more detritus and allow me to feed heavier without the food just rotting somewhere in the tank.
