Fay Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Managed to score a Tan one thanks to those who helped. In my book I see you can get other colours has any one in NZ got any or can we only get Tan clolour?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 There is a very pretty green one, I got one of these from Barry. However in my tank it just will not colour up properly, doesn't look much different to the brown ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 i think dark purple and bright orange are my fav's not to many around though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes me too has anyone got any Purple or orange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I had a large green one, 10 - 12" which was completely killed by monti eating nudibranchs, hopefully others around Christchuch still have the frags I gave out, it' would be great to get it growing again in my tank, once the coast is clear. It was a very bright green (caulerpa colour green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 The bright green and bright pink ones are cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I had a large green one, 10 - 12" which was completely killed by monti eating nudibranchs, Oh my goodness how do you know if you have these and what do they look like?

lduncan Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 They are about 2-3mm when fully grown. They are VERY difficult to spot. Here is a thread about them: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/monti- ... t7404.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I wound't mind a big orange coral in the middle of my tank, just not too fussed on a big brown one. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 i am sure if there was some i would have it. Not many hard corals of this type are imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 The red M. foliosa is around an aquaculture from Bali. Mine looks like its polyps are turning dark blue under high light. Looks like it's going to grow into a nice big colony. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
