Small blue clove looking polyps...

[Apon]

no problem lets see which grows better.

 

[fishnfst]

Sorry Cits. I'm not sure who you were Hopefully on the next go around.. What's your location? Maybe we can meet up somewhere...

 

[sfsuphysics]

It's ok, he won enough goods that he doesn't need any more corals

 

[xinumaster]

What is the best placement for this coral?

[Mr. Ugly]

Steve said the ones he had like a lot of lot to maintain good color.

 

[fishnfst]

I've grown it all over the place.. Under pc's, t5ho's and mh's... I have a little tiny frag about 10" from my 250w 10k reeflux.. I have at the bottom of a 2x65wpc on a 20long as well.. All seem to be doing fine.. It seemed to grow more compact with the pc lights down a little lower.. When I placed it up high under the MH it grew slightly larger and thicker...

 

[xinumaster]

It seems to be melting if I put it high up on the rock, but doing fine when placed under the shade. Maybe it just need some time to acclimate.

[fishnfst]

Probably just has to get used to your lighting... The frags I gave out were about 20" below my 10k reeflux...

 

[Raddogz]

Mine seems to now be shrinking and now I have little blue dots on a rock. <sigh>

 

[Apon]

the ones I got from Steve are doing fine at the middle of my tank.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

I got some from Steve too, and they're doing fine under about 2" of water under 250w MH.

 

[patchin]

Mine are from DBTC. Doing fine 10 in under 175 14K with minimum flow.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Sort of a lot of flow on mine. They are in the gyre-ish prop tank setup.

 

[Elite]

It seems to be very easy coral. Mine open doesn't matter where I put it. Super high light (400W) or on the bottom with 250W. High flow or no flow, it doesn't really care. Are you sure nothing eating it Eileen?

 

[Raddogz]

It was sitting in a tank with three tangs, one clownfish, one anthias, and one mandarin. No crabs and no snails in the tank.

I finally pulled it out and put it in my larger tank under some shade and it looks the same - very sad.

 

[Ibn]

Very odd. This stuff doesn't seem that demanding at all.

Maybe try feeding it and see if it'll perk up for ya.

 

[Dyngoe]

I had to place mine in my frag tank to get started. I have more blue light in there and more white in my main tank. I also have a Flame Angel who seemed to like them, so light might have been secondary.

 

[xinumaster]

I moved mine from top of the rock to just at the bottom of the tank and it's doing a lot better now.

[fishnfst]

If anyone looses their piece I might have another one... Shortly They are currently growing about 15" below a 250w 10k reeflux on an icecap e ballast..

Yikes...... I've been batttling these for many months now. They reach plague status quite quickly, or at least that has been my experience They came as a hitchiker!
