Aqua-Tech is releasing its new AZOX Macro Diet coral food. The maker of Phyto2 is extending its product line with this coral food addressing the dietary needs of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic (azoox) corals.

Eguchipsammia, or Micro Dendro Coral as it is more commonly known is a really cool coral that seemingly no one talks about. Eguchipsammia started showing up in the trade about four years ago where it was widely distributed as Micro Dendro Coral, but it’s been a few years since we’ve seen any freshly imported pieces. [...]
We’ve covered plenty of amazing azoox reef tanks and azoox corals before, but this Japanese azoox corals in Hanapapa’s tank is on a whole new level. The azoox corals in this tank are so drool worthy that we are not sure if our salivary glands have ever worked so hard over any other aquarium livestock [...]
As you may have guessed the yellow, orange but most often red colonies of Eleutherobia are non-photosynthetic, filter feeding fine particles from the water column. Some species of Eleutherobia Fuzzy Carrot coral occur in shallow water but only in caves or overhangs and it only extends polyps at night so it will need a dark place [...]

Recently however we’ve come across some Scandinavian cold water aquariums that throw this thought completely out of the door. The diversity in some of these aquariums simply [...]
This video of Raja Ampat is pure NPS Heaven. . . if you can ignore the soundtrack. Cirque du Soleil music isn’t the ideal tribute to this great video of Eastern Indonesian aposymbiotic corals. But taste aside, thanks to the diver who captured their vivid colors in their home turf. The variety and abundance of [...]
At Reef builders we are huge fans of azoox reef aquariums because they are unique and quite simply they’re just hot. This neat little Japanese 170L (45 US gallons) tank is no exception. The huge variety of Tubastrea, Dendrophilia and Balanophyllia along with the abundance of Rizho’s and some miscellaneous softies makes any avid reefer [...]
We are always on the lookout for unique and beautiful aquariums and this Azoox aquarium from “Uhuru” that was selected as the featured this month on Nano-Reef fits the bill.
