Bluereef,

Very easy mistake you need to link the actual image path.

When you copied what you thought was the image path ( that was a script location--the gallery used that to call the photo ) You need to link the actual image path. This is done by right clicking the photo in the gallery and getting the path.

cool picture! is that a baby from a larger coral in your tank? got a picture of mom?

[bluereef]

Thank you all for kind words /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif,I dont post pix for long time and forget how to do that.
Geo,yes they are baby from big "mama"catalaphillya,you can see the mom behind babyes(only part of tentacle).Size of the baby is similar like in this pix,they are few months old and I wait almost 2 years for buds to drop.I also lost 3 smaller buds this summer because of brown jelly and there is still 2(maybe more because is hard to find them)buds atached to "mom".I have picture of my big elegance posted somewhere in reeftalk gallery,I will try to find pix and post again.

There is also few baby flatworms in the picture but they are simple to keep and reproduce,they only need salt in the water,litlle info just in case if someone is interested in flatworm breeding /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
P.S.
I find how they infest aquarium.By the internet.Yes that is true,I never have flatworms before I start to read thread about them and bingo next week I find first one in tank.

Thank you Kevinpo.
That is not joke,that is true /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Maybe your catalaphillya have buds but you cant see them.I discover my acidentally,coral was about year and half in one spot and I lift her up to see is everything ok under the flesh and then I find small buds.

LPS coral's can be quite extensive. I am glad to see your's reproduce like that. Now I could not keep one of those to save my life. They do not like the extensive current I keep. Now I have a Euphhyllia ancora that started our as a baseball and is over basketball size. I will take a shot and post it. There are buds all over the place. I have propagated this guy many times by breaking off buds and placing them elsewhere.

I also get luck before 3 months and finaly find 2 euphillya in Italy(after 4 years of searching),I broke original colony in 4 pieces and they start to produce buds almost imediatly(some small buds was already there),right now I have some 1 cm big.

That is tricky part,is dificult to have strong circulation all around coral(and under flesh)for such big coral and in the same time dont have destructive flow which can harm catalaphillya.Basicaly IMO you must make aquarium special for him and his need must come first,then condition for other corals,or you make 500 g tank like Kevin where you have places for every corals.

Mine does great because it sits in the corner of my 120 sheltered a bit by the large heads of acropora above it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
