Osprey Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Kind of cool: When I first saw this, the tank lights weren't on yet, and I almost screamed; I thought it was the whole shrimp. The antennae and legs were waving in the current and made it look like a gruesome struggle for survival. Good thing it's just a moult. It took five hours from the time of this picture for the coral to engulf the entire piece. AFAIK, they (t. geoffroyi, the open brain coral) don't normally eat anything this large, and I don't think shrimp exoskeleton is particularly nutritious, so I expect to see it regurgitated later.

Osprey Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) *grin* You should see that brain and the bright green hammer I got from you under the moonlight settings, Colby. They GLOW, even though the tank doesn't really look like it's lit. The randomly discovered SPS does, too... definitely have growth on my LPS at this point. I think the brains are both developing second mouths... Edited October 2, 2007 by Osprey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
