Picture of the Week – 8/16 – 8/22
Pictured this week is a macro shot of an Acropora granulosa. This coral is extremely pretty, but there’s an issue with the coral in this picture. Can anyone spot it? I’ll give you a hint, it’s very tiny and is not desirable to have on an Acro coral. Click on the image and then zoom [...]
Picture of the Week 8/9 – 8/15
Pictured above is a green and purple Montipora danae. This species of Monti is very attractive and encrusts on the rockwork instead of plating out like other species. Most frags of M. danae sell for a pretty penny, as their polyps are often a different color than their base.
Picture of the Week – 8/2 – 8/8
Pictured above is a whale shark at the world famous Georgia Aquarium. The whale shark is the world’s largest fish, reaching lengths exceeding 40 feet.

Pictured in this week’s Picture of the Week is a Tube Anemone glowing under the actinic lighting of the Ecoxotic Photon Cannon. The Photon Cannon is a very popular light. It is supposed to perform as well as a metal halide light, if not better, but at a fraction of the energy input.

Picture of the Week – 7/12 – 7/18
Pictured above is a light blue-green Acropora loisettae growing among other SPS corals. This particular Acro will grow long, thing branches. This mini-colony started out as a 1/2″ frag, that quickly encrusted onto the surrounding rocks and eventually grew more branches. Most Acro corals do very well under T5HO lighting, and even thrive long-term. Metal [...]

Picture of the Week – 6/28 – 7/4
Pictured this week is an Acropora sarmentosa, purchased from T&T Fish and Reptile. More mature colonies can develop into a plating structure. This colony is still young, but you can begin to see some of this plating as branches fuse together in some spots.
Picture of the Week – 6/21 – 6/27
Photo Courtesy of Paul Geleen Pictured in this week’s AquaNerd Picture of the Week is the Gramma dejongi that recently became available to aquarists. This fish is native to Cuban waters, and seeing as how there’s a small trade embargo getting in the way, this fish won’t exactly be available to US aquarium keepers through [...]
