2.5 Year old hitchhiker (Seems to be a LPS as it has a skeleton, unlike a mushroom or anemone)

Sun Coral on the road to recovery. I picked it up a a LFS for a deal as it was wasting away. I have been feeding it 5 days a week and it is starting to make a comeback.

Chalice, growing nicely. I think a new polyp is forming on the right.

Some frogspawn that was in rough shape when I got it, now it is thriving. I got some blue clove polyps on its base as an added bonus!

    I like the rock structure in the first FTS! What are your tank's dimensions?

    That LPS hitchhiker appears to be a fungia plate coral. Cool stuff!

    Thanks for the info kileysmama, I think you may be right.

    I think I will do a blog entry on all of the hitchhikers I have. I have several fun ones. Just got to find the time to take the pictures and post them.

    I notice the overflow in corner. What brand of tank? If it's commercially available.

    It is a Marineland Cube Aquarium. I have the 93 Gallon one and very much like it http://www.marineland.com/sites/mari...l.aspx?id=3462 (though I have my heart set on the 300 gallon deep dimension someday http://www.marineland.com/sites/mari...l.aspx?id=3373 ).

    Thanks for the reply. It's hard even finding a good local fish store in Youngstown, let alone anybody who specializes in anything reef.

    I have gotten most of my stuff from The Salty Critter in Vermilion (no where near you I know). I ordered my tank there as part of a package I put together with them and got good pricing. They have been really good to work with. They do have a website you can order from and they are very helpful on the phone and in person. You may already know about them, but I thought I would mention it. http://www.saltycritter.com/
