My new pair of orange spotted filefish - Page 6 - Reef-Geeks

It looks very Caluerpa ish, it is hard to tell with that pic really. I just changed computer and don't have my links but on my old one I have a algae ID site link. I think I linked it in D3monic's 75g build thread.

I found it, it is Caulerpa peltata. Hopefully it won't grow out of control.

Caulerpa can really take off. Just dont let it get out of hand and if it starts to turn gray/blue or white rip it all out because it getting ready to go sexual.

I got a couple of new pics of the files today. In the second pick you can see the male displaying. Still no spawning.

Great photos Ellen. Real beauties.

Looks like calerpa nummelaris (sp) to me. Maybe alittle more cup shaped than it...I have some in both my tanks and the stuff grows like CRAZY! It goes sexual in a heart beat too.

It is definitely caulerpa of some type

Barbara · Geekette

Your fish are doing so great Ellen! that second pic is just amazing

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Thanks skinz.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Hey Ellen were you going to enter the pic in the contest?

And any updates for us?

Barbara · Geekette

yeah.....you've been feeding them on an increased frequency and they're definitely comfortable now with their surroundings........so any mating behaviors that you can report yet?

Gordonious · Reef-Geek

So any tips for anyone thinking about trying them?
