Re: NEW ARRIVALS: ORA SPS FRAGS (and ORA FISH)
If it's truly one pair (which I had no idea), than I completely agree with you. I thought that they were able to cull the genetic irregularities and breed them from different brood stock.
That's kind of disturbing, to be honest.
It's not coming...
Re: NEW ARRIVALS: ORA SPS FRAGS (and ORA FISH)
This is my viewpoint on the Picassos (as another scientist can give -- in my case, a future Chemistry teacher).
I don't really see much of an issue with the breeding of Picassos. I don't think I've heard of many dropping off shortly after...
Here's the kicker: I bought a fish from a store (one of our sponsors so I am not saying the name unless it's via PM). A simple $4 Allen's Damsel (which is a great deal and why I bought it -- they are usually $20). Gave it you average FW dip. Put it in the QT tank with the others.
Everything...
Long time, no update.
Here's an update!
FTS:
Armor of God's (Actinic shot):
Aquacultured Superman Monti:
Maricultured Superman Monti (Top), Rainbow Monti (bottom left), Tyree Sunset Monti (nottom right), Pink Birdsnest (Stuck in the middle of them all):
Tyree Idaho Grape, Green...
I would still think the sting is strong, but BTA stings aren't really that bad compared to some nems. I would be more worried if it was a Condy, frankly. BTAs seem to be the most "reef safe" anemone out of them all...
But who knows? My crayola acro's sting killed a nice chunk of a superman...
Yup. That's what the brown is.
I had an acro RTN a few weeks back. Not completely. I didn't feel like fragging it to try and save the few bits and pieces left. Turned brown about 2 or 3 days after (as that fresh skeleton will get coated almost instantly!).
Color coming back now though on what...
