Nice shots. What are you using to get underwater like that? I assumed possibly GoPro but it's not fisheyed (do the newer ones have an option to change that)?

Also what's the green coral you have that's starting to grow over (at around 2:16)? Some kind of Montipora?

Not a montipora. Maybe a chalice..?
Looks good though. How long has that war coral been down there?

Using gopro 3 the green one it's some kind of stunner chalice that grows really fast. Apparently a lot of people around here have it so it's dirt cheap here but expensive elsewhere. The war has only been there a couple months now.It's just now starting to come back. One of the only things to live through an order from reefs to go. (Won't do that again)

Looks good for 6 months will be nice to see it progress. Do u purposely buy only small frags. I do this to as im newer to this (2years) but i just like to watch things grow

It's just preference nathanjohnson09, I've been in the hobby a little long and have access to colonies but love to watch corals grow and transform.

That's great that the chalice is doing well. Was just wondering about the war to see how it's been acting in the shaded area. Keep us updated

Yea i feel accomplished when they get big. My new goal with my new tank is to grow stuff and frag it

Look nice. My tank is around 6 months, but has undergone some trouble periods so isn't looking its best.

tilo · 11/18/2014, 08:30 PM

Lol I see the one your talking about, maybe I got em wrong was looking at the coral at 2:40-2:42. Just a closed brain?
