prettyfishy76 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am having a hard time finding decent-looking fake coral/sponge. I'm looking for some nice, bright colors such as reds, yellows or oranges. I don't want them to look too fake, as we all know how gaudy and completely unrealistic some fake coral is. Most anything that has branches is ideal, but not too small. I want to place the fake coral/sponge in a 100g tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I saw some really nice fake colored coral at world market for $20. It was mounted on a glass base and i had it in my hand but decided to buy it another day. It's about the size of a volleyball and they come in different colors and shapes. Similar to this one http://www.etsy.com/listing/75719103/coral-blue-tinted-real-coral-mounted-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettyfishy76 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yeah, I was wanting to find some for my seahorse tank. I'm a little nervous about the pieces that aren't from an aquarium vendor, but I'll still look at them. Thank you so much for the suggestions so far.

+brian.srock Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I would touch base with KimP. She's the seahorse expert and can I'm sure she'd be a lot more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm about to setup dwarf horses in a pico, for hitching sites I just planned to use macro algae like red grapes and a few other branching macro that provide hitch sites. Perhaps something like that might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something like that might help Do you know where you are getting your macroalgae? I think that is a great idea. It will probably look a lot more natural that way. My seahorses love the caulerpa that is already in the tank. When I first put it in they all swarmed to it to hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
