Hmmm, can't tell if this topic is aquarium related or porn spam on our site. Well since you are a club member, I guess I'll leave it Actually I have to agree with Suzy here and say to everyone that I don't know what you all like stony corals. I just don't get it. I'll take green stars and xenia anyday! Wow this starts an odd thought I just had. Maybe I'll start a new topic to see what everyones' favorite corals are. Never thought about that before.

What does this thread have to do with Danny? For me, sps are more enjoyable because they are more challenging to raise. |

Hey Suzy, I agree with the romantic appeal of the sea . . .We are just lucky enough to be able to see into her heart! Where can I get a frag of that Frogspawn? I have been looking for something like that and cannot find anything close in the LFS. Also, anyone with any colorful or cool Toadstool Leathers willing to trade or share? |

This topic largly comes down to personal preference. I must admit that I like both soft and stoney corals, and my favorite tanks are those, like Cris Rodesch's, which have a good selection of both, nicely arranged. My one complaint about some soft coral tanks is that they tend to seem brown. Yet at the same time the different morpholgy that Suzy likes is always interesting. The colors you can find in some stoney corals is fantastic, but the tanks can have a static feel without the movement. That's one reason why I like my 3 tangs, and other fish, for that random movement. Needless to say, I'm trying to do both soft and stoneys in my tank, and it's fun to whatch them slowly growing and filling in. ------------- Jim LaMunyon Richmond, Utah |

It was the first coral I collected and it was taken with the expressed purpose of being propogated by the WMAS for the Salt Lake Area. My hope (as silly as it is) was to have them popular in the Salt Lake area within 10 years. That way Blundell Buttons would be as common as Wood's Polyps in Idaho. If it did happen, it would be the first documented story of successful collection and propogation in the saltwater hobby. Where as things like xenia are a success story, but it is always imported and nobody knows where it started. I did give a couple presentations to the club on Bermuda back in the days. I know you must have been in the club back then. But to answer your question, it is more beautiful than any of the pictures you have ever seen. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

Thanks Suzy. That picture is from the tank that 1mariner7 and I maintain at our work place. What you see there is what we've got of the white and we aren't quite ready to frag it yet. But I can point you in the right direction. We got ours from Kevin Knuz (KeoDog). I'll bet if you contact him, he'd have some for you. ------------- In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth ... then He let it cycle.

I think a successful SPS tank is the supreme achievment in our Hobby. I do also like softies and LPS though!! That's why we have a 55g dedicated for softies and LPS and a 110g sps tank. |

Travis, you gave me something to think about. I've never considered them to be an achievement at all. SPS tanks (to me) always look rather simple and boring, I would hate to think that the supreme achievement our club and the hobby will make is something we already have.

Travis, Adam is nuts. I agree with you! |
Posted By: Travis

Adam, are you able to keep sps corals? I would disagree with a sps tank being simple. I think they are beautiful, not boring at all. Maybe I should have said "I think a successful SPS tank is the supreme achievement for a Hobbyist.?" Granted more advancements will evolve as our hobby evolves. SPS tanks are much harder to care for, anyone with a different opinion I would like to hear it. My softy tank is a piece of cake to care for. When my sps tank becomes what I consider successful, I will feel I made a supreme achievement.

I'll agree that SPS are harder to keep than softies, but still not as hard to keep as many other things. And Marcus, come on now, are you saying we have hit the end and have reached the ultimate in reef keeping? Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

Adam, not at all. There are plenty of sps species that have not been kept yet.
