WOW! Great coral there! I love the Maldives and their underwater variety actually! If you like diving, that's certainly a spot to journey to!

Very vibrant colors on the P. metallica :)

Thanks storm. Yeah Maldives is an awesome place to dive. Half the fish in my tank actually comes from that area; like lyre tail anthias.

Thanks guys. =) The blue fang is one of my favorite T's too bad they are fast and agressive.

Here is an update

Not a T but a distant cousin.

One of my p.Metallicas

Molt of my female P.bara

Freshly molted p.metallica. Was kinda scared about the back legs being deformed but he/she is fine..

Molt of the P. Metallica in the previous pic. Not sure if thats a spermatheca because it's not red like my P.baras

Ventral shot..

He/she a few days after the molt.

When i went back to Hawaii to visit my family, I saw trees that were being surrounded by the strangling fig. Although the fig kills their host, i thought they would be a good way to decorate my female p.metallica enclosure.


I used bark that i found in my back yard to create a hollow log and used grape vine that i sand blasted to make the fig.

top view looking in to the hollow log.

here is the view from the left side.


I made the foam look like rock using a textured non toxic paint.

Nice enclosure. We have those kinda wood pieces here, they call them "Spiderwood" over here.

Thanks Storm76, I didn't know they sold this type of wood. I know they use similar pieces for fresh water planted aquariums, aka the T. Amono style aquariums.

Thanks Bugmom and Storm76, it was a pain to white balance the camera.. Plus i think some of the LED light from my aquarium in the back ground also helped to bring out the colors.
