| "Ever
get a song stuck in your head that just won't stop no matter
what you do to distract yourself? For me, it's usually
Disney's "It's A Small World After All". But
not now. Now, and I swear to you this is true, in my head,
I'm hearing Luciano Pavorotti sing "Oh, Scolymia" to
the tune of "Oh, Solo Mio"... over and over again.
So I guess this'll be the last one of the night. Anyway,
I've had this little guy for a couple years now. At first,
it got moved around a bit as no one around here really
knew the best conditions for this Genus. Finally, deciding
that as a close relative to Cynarina maybe it's requirements
were somewhat similar, I found a little niche around midtank
and tucked it back in there. It seems to be healthy although
it hasn't shown any real growth yet. It has never caused
me any problems and has never been target fed. Good night." |

| "Okay,
I'm a little better now, thanks for asking. Anyhow,
this is one of the pieces I've been waiting to get
to because, quite honestly, I haven't the faintest
idea of what it is. I put it here because it was listed
as a "Siamese Twin Scolymia" (I kid you not)
and since I'd never seen one before or since, I didn't
know where else to put it. It's about the size of a
tennis ball and at night, it's twin mouths become ringed
with polyps. It seems to really like dimmer indirect
light. It's an incredibly cool piece. I've had it since
early '00. Is this Scolymia? I'd really like to know.
More pictures upon request." |
