And fine looking Blastos they are!

Why thank you. What exactly is that last coral you have pictured? It looks kind of funky :biggrin:

Oh I have plenty o brains!! :p I will post pics later today when I have time. :)

If you have plenty now, Myka, wait until Colby gets some really psychadelic brains in one of his shipments. I just stared at one for about 10 mins once before I remembered that open realestate on a nano's sandbed does not provide room for multiple brains.

One day...

Not totally sure, but I think it's a Symphyllia.

I'd go with Lobophyllia hemprichii :mrgreen:

Is that what it is? Thanks. Where's your brain pics Steve? Yours are amazing!

I believe that's it, definitely a lobo over a symphy. I don't want to post old pics so I'll get a couple new ones up soon enough. Cheers!

Sadly, I have no brains, :crazy:, of any kind. :lol:


I wonder how many beautiful ones I have bought and sold/traded away since 1990. Could have a 200g full of them. :mrgreen:

This pic is like 2 weeks old...

Thats IT!!!, I need MORE Brains Blasto's and Favites in my tank!!!!!!

I was just thinking the same thing.

Does anyone keep brains without a sandbed or do they need one?

I have 1 more frag that's pink around the inside with a green center but it is starting to crater for some unknown reason so it currently trying to be nursed back to health.

I finally got a brain....At least I think my pineapple coral is some sort of brain coral :redface:

Pretty sure it is a pineapple coral http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...428&pcatid=428

Wow, Laurie did I see a seahorse in your picture??? Or am I just seeing things.

My brains never looked better for the 2 months that my tank was BB when I first got it going. I just noticed that after going through my photos. Could have been something other than the lack of sandbed though...could have easily been the fact that they had 90 gallons of fresh saltwater, and now I'm lacking in water changes. :o

Haha! I quit buying brains almost a year ago. No more brain real estate! :D

A couple Lobos with some Blastos near the front, and a Trachyphyllia. Sorry the pic isn't better - it's the best pic of the Green and Pink Lobo I have. :o

:lol: You're seeing things. I'm guessing you are refering to the yellow blob on the right side of the tank, it's actually yellow spounge that's growing on the glass, but it is sort of shaped like a seahorse. As much as I like seahorses I can't have one in my tank as it's not a suitable home for them.

Couple closed brains because I can't compete with all these awesome open brains :wink:

Recently acquired brain on the right
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/d...2499cropsm.jpg

It's a pink cynaria (cat's eye).

It's a Cynarina, often called a button coral.

ahh, beat me to it :bad-word:

I love my merletti

Here's my fox. It reminds me of a cartoon or painting image that i've seen somewhere.

I was coming home from camp today, going to get a pic of my red open brain I aquired last days off. Well, it was no more. been gone for a while, no trace of flesh. :( Im just not having luck lately..... Hope my new ones from Whatcanyedo will thrive. Im taking my time acclimating them to be extra sure...

Here's a old pic of my fox coral before it was fragged within an inch of its life
