a very cool shot that shows my pistol shrimp in his dendronephthea home. he came with that piece and i've never seen him anywhere but in his host softie. yersterday i noticed some other lil white "bug" living in that coral. i'll try to get a shot of it sometime.

thanks mike. sorry we didn't get to chat at the swap. i was busy handeling customers and you were in the garage most of the time. i've seemed to pack a lot into my little 30gal recently. with ten more gallons available to play with i bet your 40 is gonna look real nice in the months to come.

here are a couple pics that show wider shots.

well you gave me one half dead that you got 1/3 dead... and keeping it in yer sump doesn't help either. these are very fragile corals. just putting it in yer sump ain't gonna nurse it back to health. you could probably keep one now though sinse your tank has become gorg friendly. got any nice ones dood?

I had a 7 inch Blue Gorg in a SPS and clam tank I bought from AW. I figured it not to need alot of light so I placed it under a bit of an overhang on my LR.

While the rest of the tank flourished it slowly went downhill over a period of about 4 months. I tried target feeding it phytoplankton at night with minimum results, but probably kept it just surviving.

Yesterday I received my order from GARF and was surprised to find two of them mixed in to my 20/$200 order. After calling them I found out that they had trouble with the first round of wild stock, but that their aquacultered ones were hardier. I hope he is right because I dont want to have the burden of another death to such a beautiful gorgonian. Right now both are sitting on a plug resting on the sand bed to get used to light levels. They sent me two other versions of gorgonians, I will be curious to know how they are going to do as well.

<holding my breath>

NFS. the yellow variety of sun corals is pretty damn rare. i'm open to serious trade offers... but i won't be selling the piece.
