This guy should have 1 million subs already. He is the most legit on here, with great info for all reefers old/new. Keep up your awesome vids, your gonna make it to the top brother!
Those coral ID videos are the best among the reefing channels! I remember getting REALLY hooked up seeing the ones you made in Palau by the time I was planning my reef
NaCl Creep I’m referring specifically to the fluorescent proteins that are excited by blue light especially blue led like 450nm for example. A reef tank with just the actinic lighting shows what I’m talking about :)
Love watching these videos. Reminds me of all the trips I did with my family when I was younger. Never got to dive but was lucky enough to snorkel in a lot of places in the Caribbean. Not sure if you have been to Cozumel Mexico but the reefs there were the best of all my trips from my memory. Did an awesome submarine tour there to.
Watched the whole video, loved it! The Acro colony at 14:08 looked MASSIVE! I'm glad I got to see some very nice colorful corals at the end! I definitely want to snorkel and dive one day! My dream! 😍
Great video Jake! It goes to show we can only dwarf mother nature in our reef aquariums. It was amazing to see colonies of coral reaching such magnificent sizes! Keep them coming! Alasdair Aquatics
Just finished watching the WWC farm tour video, it was amazing! I shared it to my audience on my community tab! Then I got the notification for this video and from watching the intro I can already tell it's going to be a great video as well!
“Oh god “ I heard that, haha that blasto is beautiful. I love bommies, my nano tank has a bommie inspired aqua scape. There barely seems like any flow on the leather corals/bommies. I’m a Big fan of leathers recently and its cool to see them on the bommies just like my tank. Thanks Jake for sharing this footage with the hobby, I appreciate it a lot.
Truly amazing! Thank you so much for this video. Would it be possible to bring a blue/actinic light to show us the aquarium colors of these wild corals??
I liked this vid really much! I am a beginner of coral farming here in PH and it's hard for me to identify which corals glow under bluelight since i was diving during daytime. I am hoping to get some Scolymias Here.
Man that was so entertaining with so many corals specially the pinks at the end wow show stopper colonies,it looks like the leathers grow like weeds there 😍💜✌🌿
HELLO JAKE, there’s a coral technology by Wolf Hilbertz And Tom Goreu, in the 1970’s in Germany WolfHilbertz coined BIOROCK technology and it works on the basis of cavitation - the electric mesh or any metal begins to accum. CALCIUM CARBONATE. Much like the composition of the shells the coral polyps form as a house - some of these places are in Thailand and Gia Katanga as well as French Polynesian island by Hilton resort - the electric field does SOOO MUCH in signaling the baby fish and orthrt planktonic larvae that here’s a place to settle
Jake, any idea on PAR where these staghorn fields where? It can’t be that high. The water looks very deep dark blue. You should bring a par meter out there with you. That would be an awesome video. Swim around and measure PAR by various corals between 12-3pm. 👍🏼🙏👌🏼
What are those gobies at 12:18? I have never heard of those but if they school like that in the branches of acros it would be nice to keep some in an SPS tank!
Something am starting to notice from these in the field videos, when you look at the debris floating around it seems like there’s hardly any flow. I’ve noticed this on a few videos yet in the hobby we’re constantly reminded about the importance of heavy flow. I use a mp10 and since turning to half power as max I think my corals open much more deffo on the leathers anyway
I feel that in most carribean reefs I have seen had many small purple corals that I still to this day don't know what they are and many purple gorgonians.
Hey Jake! Great video! I have a question... were the lps corals in the bommie section actually attached to the rocky substrate? I always thought that lps corals (especially that gorgeous goniopora) live on the sand substrate.....
Reef Builders that’s interesting... i never knew that lps corals attach to the substrate. I appreciate your work and that you really show us how the corals actually live in the wild and giving us reefers new perspectives on coral placement and rockwork. Thank you so much!
This is so interesting and counter intuitive to out in-home LPS reefs. I understand that this is the ocean.... First, notice all the detritus and buildup around all of the corals. I have no doubt that the water isn’t fouled by this the way it would be In our reefs but I wonder if these lower areas are very nutrient dense. Second, I noticed a lack of flow overall. Jake, is this just due to the time you were diving? This makes me want to put my pumps on a control setting to have longer low flow periods with a couple of brief but high flow spikes to clear any settling. It makes me think that in soft/lps aquariums we are going to continue to see an uptick in suggested nutrient levels coupled with dosing measures to control nuisance algae growth. I’m not talking out of the ordinary I’m just talking what we would consider elevated In a typical reef setting. I get that this is one video of one tiny tiny tiny part of the ocean.... it’s just fun to think. Love the video and the commentary, best reef channel in the web!!
Since the LPS you found are oriented not towards sunlight but away or perpendicular does this suggest that they are more dependent on capturing food rather than photosynthesis? Or is it that they have developed over time in lower light environments and are just taking advantage of higher light areas by changing their light orientation? Maybe both?
Ok those blastos were so disgustingly awesome! I'd take those as-is ... unfortunately we live in a hobby now where someone will slap a fancy name on them, put their name in front of it and start selling at $200/polyp.
After listening to this video I imagined what it would be like trying read off coral scientific names to pass a field sobriety test. Mini-bar AFTER voice over editing might be advisable :)
I find it interesting how little flow there seems to be, the Cynarinas, bubble corals, torches etc are barely moving...it seems more flow is considered better in the hobby, but is this then wrong for those with primarily LPS tanks?
flow is reduced at depth, but keep in mind low flow makes for good diving. At times the tides, storms etc do cause more flow, although the depths are calmer than the shallows
And so, originally his low tech KEEP IT SIMPLE APPROACH WAS OROGINALLY MESNT TORESTORE OYSTERS, but can be used for All Calcium building organisms and more including stag horn Scrooge’s montipora porites etc, even the endangered HYSTERIATRIX BIRDS NEST CORAL SURVIBES THERE
RIP Jake Adams - Definitely miss this type of content from you with all your knowledge. But of course, Remy is killing it too. ❤👏🏻✌🏻

True. 88k subs is bullsh*t.
Not enough, man!!! .... I could watch 4 hours of this.
Thank you so much!!!!!
Those coral ID videos are the best among the reefing channels! I remember getting REALLY hooked up seeing the ones you made in Palau by the time I was planning my reef
Awesome video Jake, you should get a blue LED torch 🔦 to bring out the colours on a dive!
But these are the colors!

Another epic snorkel and dive, thanks for sharing👍
That is great showing where and how corals grow on the reef
Some great footage Jake 👌 Keep up the good work
Thank you buddy I always watch your videos
Magnificent videography from you as always Reef Builders. Definitely one of the best videos out there.
the acros looks like they are extending without flow. that is insane!
Watched the whole video, loved it!
The Acro colony at 14:08 looked MASSIVE!
I'm glad I got to see some very nice colorful corals at the end!
I definitely want to snorkel and dive one day! My dream! 😍

Just amazing!
I miss scuba diving so much! Thanks for bringing me along via CZcams 😁
Awesome video, you bring us to reefs and to your growing studio that hobbies can enjoy. Thanks and kept them coming.
Wow, just wow, wish I could gather a few for farming
so jealous!! keep videos coming!!
Thank you Sir.
I have never seen a reef in this way before.
Best video ever!!
Truly awesome, loved the vid. Thank you for tagging us along!
I'm glad you are sharing how beautiful the ocean can be 😍.
Miss you Jake Adams!
You have one of the best jobs in the world thanks so much for sharing your job I love it
Heck yeah !! Great video.
So freaking kool !!!! Wow that pink one!!! Sps
Awesome video
A true place of heaven! Awesome shots as always Jake!
Man, that was freaking awesome. I would love to dive and see some wild corals. Really gives you an appreciation!
Excellent 😎

I love this kind of video! Corals in situ.
great video
thank you and I love your video take care.
Very beautiful corals. I love your dives!
really a nice video !!!
Well done , learn a lot from this video ... hope to see more , tq
That part with the anemone shrimp reminded me SOOOO much of "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" hahahahaha
Awesome love your diving videos Jake
Truly amazing! Thank you so much for this video. Would it be possible to bring a blue/actinic light to show us the aquarium colors of these wild corals??
Beautiful, I would love to visit the Solomon Islands
Magnifique, BRAVO !!! 👏👏👏
Amazing dive Jake 👍👍👍
Nice video. Very informative.
I liked this vid really much! I am a beginner of coral farming here in PH and it's hard for me to identify which corals glow under bluelight since i was diving during daytime. I am hoping to get some Scolymias Here.
It's a tough job but someone has to do it . Quite suprised how little flow there was .
That yellow milli 🔥🔥🔥
I noticed that the area where the mushroom leathers corals are located have no current.
Man that was so entertaining with so many corals specially the pinks at the end wow show stopper colonies,it looks like the leathers grow like weeds there 😍💜✌🌿

There is beauty even in brown.
Wouldyou recommend mounting bubble corals sideways in a reeftank? I just got a bubble coral like in the video and i still have to glue it :D
split the difference and find a good 45 degree perch for it
great video,nice to see the singapore angel at the clams,and the sixbar
it's actually the closely related greytail angelfish, Chaetodontoplus poliourus
forgot about that one@@ReefBuildersVideo

Excellent
Wow there’s a ton of sps, soft corals and lps living in low flow and light 🤔
Hermoso video. Ojalá tener un acuario así hahaha
You have a amazing nano tank, others like me just dream
What is the par level at this depth and what is the spectrum? Windex look is the natural look in a real reef.
What are those gobies at 12:18? I have never heard of those but if they school like that in the branches of acros it would be nice to keep some in an SPS tank!

This is my favourite video of yours. Finally getting a good look without getting wet 😅👍
Rip. Jake.
Nice video. Was the guy in the background caught on a puff puff pass?
bush tobacco, rolled with lined notebook paper
I love it!!🤩🤘🏾
Do coral collectors ever bring blue lights down with them to see what pops under fluorescing light? Or even go at night with the same?
I feel that in most carribean reefs I have seen had many small purple corals that I still to this day don't know what they are and many purple gorgonians.
Therefore I think that in some reefs in certain parts of the world colorful corals are common.
Hey Jake! Great video! I have a question... were the lps corals in the bommie section actually attached to the rocky substrate? I always thought that lps corals (especially that gorgeous goniopora) live on the sand substrate.....
yeah these were attached
Reef Builders that’s interesting... i never knew that lps corals attach to the substrate. I appreciate your work and that you really show us how the corals actually live in the wild and giving us reefers new perspectives on coral placement and rockwork. Thank you so much!
That encrusting clavulariid in the deeper slope is interesting. Not sure if I've seen one quite like it.
7:48 there is a cristata at the bottom of the middle part of the video
Very jealous Jake. Keep it up great content.

Do Australia next and where macromusa lord h live and how
The size of that table acro 😮❤️
i want those acros!!!
Magnifique, good thinking for turning off the pump while filming ;) (interesting, nutriment must be near perfect)
Since the LPS you found are oriented not towards sunlight but away or perpendicular does this suggest that they are more dependent on capturing food rather than photosynthesis? Or is it that they have developed over time in lower light environments and are just taking advantage of higher light areas by changing their light orientation? Maybe both?
you're totally right
What is that small ball like thing sitting there at 3:01?
Toadstool leather coral, Sarcophyton sp.
Ever do any night diving with a blue our UV light?
Ok those blastos were so disgustingly awesome! I'd take those as-is ... unfortunately we live in a hobby now where someone will slap a fancy name on them, put their name in front of it and start selling at $200/polyp.
ain't that the truth
What's inside the lettuce shaped coral? Sorry don't know what kind it is it's at three minutes in the video. Looks like a yellow ball of some kind.
After listening to this video I imagined what it would be like trying read off coral scientific names to pass a field sobriety test. Mini-bar AFTER voice over editing might be advisable :)
Great video Jake
What camera did you use to film this
GH5
13:38 what is that blue eyed fish?
I think its the blue eyed cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus compressus)
I find it interesting how little flow there seems to be, the Cynarinas, bubble corals, torches etc are barely moving...it seems more flow is considered better in the hobby, but is this then wrong for those with primarily LPS tanks?
flow is reduced at depth, but keep in mind low flow makes for good diving. At times the tides, storms etc do cause more flow, although the depths are calmer than the shallows
I'd glue a bubble coral to the side of the tank
Crazy acro colonies and at the same time almost no flow..? impressive..
Erm... Almost no flow? If you have been diving or even snorkeling you'll realize the flow is random and wildly fluctuates but there's always flow.
Sehr schön.
Kann leider kein Englisch
Über Scoly wäre schön ein Video
And so, originally his low tech KEEP IT SIMPLE APPROACH WAS OROGINALLY MESNT TORESTORE OYSTERS, but can be used for All Calcium building organisms and more including stag horn Scrooge’s montipora porites etc, even the endangered HYSTERIATRIX BIRDS NEST CORAL SURVIBES THERE
I notice there is extremely low flow.
👏🆒
