Default Tubastraea Sick? Pic Intense
This is my friend Saltyfish's sun coral Tubastraea. *It seems to be eating as seen in pics but they don't seem to polyp out proporly. *There also seem to be some yellow tenticles growing out the sides of some polyps. *I will show a pic of mine as an example of what one should look like. or just another excuse to show mine off *. *We purchased these together last week some time. *I think it was on Sunday.









This is my Coral

you guys think everything is cool with this thing? i noticed frilly yellow stuff on the outside of the polyps when i first got it home. then Nate came over last night & was throttled by the shape and ran home to get his camera. i can take pics with my new sony, but i have to fool with the settings. everything turns out blurry.

Awesome. If you ever want to see the polyps open without having to feed. Simply poor a little cyclopeze into a brine shrimp net and let it touch the water. I leave it there just hanging with the cyclopeze in the net without dumping it into the water. This causes them to open.

BTW how are you feeding them?
