90g Reef Tank v2 - Coral
This tank will have a mix of softies and stony corals. In general I prefer the look of soft corals, but I like the colours of stony corals.

Pachyclavularia spp. Green star polyps |
9 Mar '11 | These green star polyps have been happy ever since I introduced them. That was until they decided to recede and die. :( |

Sarcophyton spp. Leather coral |
30 Jan '11 |
The leather was very unhappy for the first two weeks. I relocated it temporarily to the refugium where it covered. It is now back in my main display tank and quite happy. 20 Nov '11 - It lost its base, and now it seems very unhappy. I think my tank is too crowded / small for it. |

Xenia spp. Pulsing Xenia |
9 Mar '11 |
This Xenia surely looks better than the first colony I purchased. 20 Nov '11 - Needless to say, every three weeks I need to prune about 1/3 of the Xenia - it grows like weed. |

Spirobranchus giganteus on Porites Christmas tree worm on Porites |
9 Apr '11 | I know these are hard animals to keep, but I had good success with the specimen I kept in South Africa. I hope I can replicate that success here as well. |

Seriatopora caliendrum Club finger coral |
18 Apr '11 | This small club finger coral got my attention as I used to have a similar one before in my 145g reef tank. Under the MH lights they glow a neon green colour. |

Zoanthus spp. Zoanthid |
16 Jul '11 | Since my first Zoanthid rock has been dying steadily I purchased another rock. Hopefully I can keep this one happy. |

Euphyllia spp. Frogspawn coral |
16 Jul '11 | I saw a beautiful but expensive Euphyllia head at my LFS - at $99 it is not cheap. But I got a little bonus - a small pencil urchil the size of a small marble was hiding on its side. |

Protopalythoa spp Zoanthids |
16 Jul '11 | These zoanthids are maybe not the prettiest, but I love how they react to being fed directly - almost like Venus Fly Traps. |

Lobophyllia flabelliformi Open brain coral |
28 Aug '11 |
I always wanted one of these LPS corals. Just do not know how to feed it yet... 20 Nov '11 - only needed to stimulate it once, now every night it turns inside out and feeds on mysis. |

Pachyclavularia spp. Green star polyops |
28 Aug '11 |
I've never been able to keep green star polyps alive in any of my tanks in Canada. This is my last try because I believe the other failed attempts were due to Magnesium problems. 20 Nov '11 - this coral seems finally extremely happy and is doing very well. |
![]() |
Plerogyra sinuosa Bubble coral |
28 Aug '11 | I believe my tank is now ready for SPS and LPS. This coral is doing great thus far, and I will attempt to feed it regularly. |

Duncanopsammia Axifuga Duncan Coral |
22 Oct '11 | Having never had any experience with this LPS before, I am keen to see how well it does in my tank as I am looking for some diversity in the specimens I keep. |

Tubipora spp Pipe Organ Coral |
19 Nov '11 | This coral has a magnificent fluorescence when viewed from top. |

Euphyllia spp. Hammer Coral |
19 Nov '11 | This beautiful pale pink hammer coral augments my LPS collection |
