This is but a few of the many species of corals I’ve made for my instagram series.
Corals are important member of the reef ecosystem. They are not plants despite their similarity, they are actually invertebrates related to jellyfish. Corals DO photosynthesize - in a way, because their body hosts single celled algae called zooxanthellae which also gives them their brilliant color. They’re called soft corals, because their body is just soft tissue that expands as they fill it with water.
As requested by @letsgetsalty. Needs a little love still, going to move some more zoas over from the grow out. All the inverts except for Godzilla (cleaner shrimp) were hiding. He’s probably going to go in the grow out, but he came from a tank that was infested with velvet so he’s got to stay in the 4g for several months.

Only one week left to place your US orders from my etsy shop if you’re hoping to receive them in time for Christmas! Though, sooner would be better - the unpredictable arrival of my first baby might delay my ability to ship things out on time!
Order by December 15th (for packages shipping within the United States) to give me a good chance to get them to the post office in time! http://fairweatherfriends.etsy.com
Maybe it’s because Home Alone is one of my favourite movies, but these chestnuts remind me of the two thieves! It’s funny when my creatures choose their personality on their own.
