Since I have not posted in some time I am opening my first thread with some pics of some of the new corals I have been trading for. I am a bit of a collector of corals and am always trying to acquire more. I have something of a bank in my home.

Some really nice zoanthids and palythoas I have received in the last month.

Purple hornets

Witches Brew

Purple People Eaters
And NO :-? I do not make up all these crazy names,some one else out there does and people eat it up.

this is a deep water acropora coral most likely a suharsonoi.

These corals are not appealing enough, no love for the SPS and Zoanthids? How about some LPS.

My favorite Platygyra "closed Brain Coral"

A two tone variety with blue valleys.

This red one is a little dusted from the debree I stir up to help feed some of the corals but you get the picture.

Glad there is still at least a few salt water reefers on the forum. I will see about some other pics from my tanks here after work. Maybe a pic of the tank I originaly posted here a few years ago.

I do also like the soft corals and as usual there is no shortage of those. Here is a purple base orange tipped ricordea yuma.

OH NO! I was going to post more pics but some of the previous ones have been moved. I did not know photobucket would not apply the move here. I will have to see about a way around this. Hmmmm?

I think I used photo bucket for these pics and it may be possible that the pictures moved in photo bucket effect the areas in the net that I used its URL code. I think I may be able to fix this utilizing the built in hosting service. I will look into it after work.
SORRY.

So would it be better to open another thread containing some more zoanthids?
Trick question I suppose ,stay tuned for another round of Zoanthid and Palythoa pictures.
