Picture of the Week, Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
Pictured in the latest installment of the AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a rose bubble tip anemone, but not just the regular old run of the mill RBTA. This anemone has bright red tentacles and a deep green color on its oral disc. This anemone isn’t a rare color morph by any means, but [...]
Picture of the Week, Marble Mouth Anglerfish
This week’s AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a reader submitted photo from our friend Louis-Pierre Rich. In the image, an elaborately camouflaged Marble Mouth Anglerfish (Lophiocharon lithinostomus), which faces the camera in case you can’t tell, is laying in wait for an unsuspecting prey fish to swim by so that it can be snatched [...]
Picture of the Week, Copperband Butterfly
Showing up in the latest AquaNerd POTW is a beautiful Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus) during feeding time at the Kemah Aquarium restaurant. This fish is a crowd favorite among aquarium keepers due to its coloration, but many will find it especially useful for its appetite for Aiptasia anemones. Despite their popularity, the Copperband can be [...]
Picture of the Week, Red Firefish Goby (Nemateleotris magnifica)
Gracing our pages in this week’s AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a red firefish goby (Nemateleotris magnifica) seen in the reef aquarium at the Aquarium Restaurant in Kemah. This particular fish is very common in the hobby, but its frequency in the trade doesn’t detract from its beauty even in the slightest bit. The [...]
Picture of the Week, Lineatus Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lineatus)
Pictured in this AquaNerd Picture of the Week is one of my favorite fish, the Lineatus Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lineatus). This fish can be very beautiful, though the females of the species are nowhere near as pretty as the males, which is typical of just about all fish and wrasses especially. In terms of rarity, [...]
Picture of the Week, Rainbow Lobophyllia
Pictured in this week’s installment of the AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a glowing rainbow Lobophyllia brain coral seen in one of the vendor aquariums at MACNA from earlier this year. The coral has at least four distinct colors, sporting a red ring that surrounds green, then purple, and finally a blue center. Rainbow [...]
Picture of the Week, White Feather Duster
Pictured in this installment of the AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a closeup of a white and red feather duster seen in the same nano aquarium that last week’s ORA Sprung Stunner was found in. The heavy blue lighting from the Kessil Ocean Blue A150W LED pendant really allows the feather duster to stand [...]
Picture of the Week, ORA Sprung’s Stunner
Pictured in the latest installment of the AquaNerd Picture of the Week is a glowing ORA Sprung’s Stunner seen in a gorgeous Kessil powered nano aquarium at Fish Gallery. This piece is a relatively new addition to ORA’s growing lineup of aquacultured corals and takes its name from Two Little Fishies owner Julian Sprung. Julian [...]
Picture of the Week – 11/7 – 11/13
Over the weekend, I got to spend a good deal of time at Fish Gallery, a high end local fish store. After getting to speak to members of the local aquarium club about aquarium chemistry, I wandered around the store and came across a gorgeous Kessil LED illuminated nano aquarium that was full of interesting [...]
Picture of the Week – 10/31 – 11/6
We’re sort of on a Cycloseris kick at the moment, so it’s no surprise that our latest AquaNerd Picture of the Week is full of the stunning plate corals. Seen at MACNA, these cherry pieces are some of the best plate corals we’ve ever seen. You’ll notice that, with the exception of the orange plate, [...]
