new corals

Hi guys, well as you can see ive ben buying things again... lol. This time I had a delivery of four corals, a orange crush zoa that looks more like a brown zoa to me, a venus fly trap polyp, a metallic green flower goniopora, and finaly a yellow sun coral. Now unknown to me the yellow sun coral only comes out at night and needs to be fed special foods (small frozen shrimp) which Ive now bought through ebay. When I opened the box I must admit that I thought the metalic green flower one was a fake as it looked like a cube of white stuff with some pale green pant dabed onto it but as you see in the pics its the most lively of the corals Ive bought and biggest, I gues the saying is true just becouse it starts out small dont mean it cant end up nice and big.... lol. Anyway I hope you enjoy the pics and you can expect to see more pics tomorrow as Im getting anouther delivery......

The three corals moved to their new homes in the tank


I will be adding pics of the sun coral when it decides to wake up. The guy I bought it from said it could take a few days to get used to the new tank its in before it opens up, so Ive put it in a shaded area of the tank and will keep you posted as to its progress.
