I have a Rainbow Trachyphyllia that I picked up from my local fish shop here in the UK. Its the craziest I've ever seen. I'll send you a picture on Instagram. See what you think? To me it's a true Rainbow
Your voice is so soothing! I've been binge watching your videos because I realized that I didn't know anything about coral. your videos are so amazing : ) I know so much about this stuff now!!
Hey Than, I really like when you add the soft music in the background like you did on this one, much better than the no-background-music videos!!! You missed raimbow Stylo from the list!!
I guess I'm doing something right because my scolymia has gotten pretty big since i got it. I'd say originally it was close to 2" in diameter and now its at least double that. I have pretty good luck with the bottom dewlling LPS like this.
I dunno if you'll see this, but do you guys ship internationally? You have some awesome corals and I know how well you care for them before sale, buuuuuuuut I'm in Australia, and yeah we get some good shit for cheap (comparatively), here, but you guys over there get some wicked stuff that we just don't see out this way.
Awesome list and info as ever. Maybe make a video on your Micromusa solution? I'm in the same boat. Everything is doing great, except the Micro Lord's. ICP seems to be a perfect NSW copy based on Triton test, PAR is around 50. Still no luck. Thanks for the great content.
Beautiful eye candy. You're introduction did you credit. One of the most infuriating things about this hobby, is how vendors and chop shops butcher names. Their is a reason every other field of agriculture has standardized naming conventions. But not the aquaculture segment focused on corals, it's still to new of a field. And so vendors create such confusion and misinformation when they slap a name on a coral in the pursuit of hype and profit. It's such a terrible and unprofessional practice. That's not directed at Tidal Gardens, but it's certainly directed at your industry. You instead go out of your way to respect and provide it's binomial nomenclature, which I can only respect.
WHAT ABOUT THE KUNG PO/BEACH BUM MONTIPORA PALAWANENSIS?!?! It’s my favourite coral and has greens to yellows to oranges with beautiful bight blue polyps and amazingly unusual form and shape.
@@tidalgardens I have a fantastic LFS here with a massive collection of corals and of absolute top quality as usual in France and Germany.. sadly am just beginning on my first ever SWT ( freshie going reefer) and must wait a long time till I ever can have such an established tank to go for goni’s.. and when I do, I will have a Red themed tank and a Yellow and a Blue one .. all sorts of Goni and SPS and Flower anemones of same colours
Haha all these true multicolored colored corals and not 1 “rainbow acro”! And there has got to be at least 10 with rainbow in the name. Suck it SPS heads us LPS and softy guys get all the nice colors. AMAZING video as usual Than. I mean I would be disappointed if it wasn’t.
3:39 scolies are actually homophyllia australis, not bowerbanki. 5:38 diaseris have been reclassified as cycloseris. 16:01 most echinatas might actually different species of acan, such as subechinata, rotundoflora, and hemprichii.
@@jordanm2984 I look up coral genera/species on WoRMS. If it says the genus/species is accepted, then that genus/species name is valid. If it says it is unaccepted, then that genus/species name is unaccepted and WoRMS will show you the accepted name. You can also look at the distribution of a certain group; however, this only works with species since doing it with genra/families/etc includes the distribution for invalid species names that might have been moved to another genus.
Do rainbow micromussas still tend to change color to red under the better LED lights, or have we improved the technology past that now? Perhaps the nature of the LEDs was blasting them with too much light or the wrong spectrum?
Awesome list and info as ever. Maybe make a video on your Micromusa solution? I'm in the same boat. Everything is doing great, except the Micro Lord's. ICP seems to be a perfect NSW copy based on Triton test, PAR is around 50. Still no luck. Thanks for the great content.
Lord Howe Island is a long way south compared to the Great Barrier Reef, so I would guess the Micromussa Lordhowensis are used to slightly lower temperatures. Lowering your tank temperature slightly could be your solution.
Great videos. The best photography on the internet for corals by far. One thing ive noticed in all of your videos is that genre is pronounced 'john ra', not 'jen-er-a'.
Than, off topic question. I’m looking for the video of the new girl you hired to run a fish QT system. Is that video still up and is that girl still working for you running that fish QT system? Thanks! Anthony, (S2minute)
