Strange LR growth

[karlas]

wow that purple clove polyp looks awesome

id like to get a piece of that for my tank never saw that one before

[RogerL]

it's growing really well in my tank. it's starting to look like wrassman's picture. will it keep growing, even though i only have normal fluorescent lighting? do you feed something like that?

[RogerL]

the LFS has those, but they call the purple tree corals??? is this just another common name?

[karlas]

this is a tree coral they do come in many different colors

[RogerL]

thats what mine looks like, but it is the color of the one wrassman posted. do i feed it? how do i keep it alive? it is growing pretty quick...

If the coral is growing you probably don't have to do anything special. *If you can find it at www.liveaquaria.com they will have a pretty detailed description of the care they require.

Stomatella - the small finger nail shell snail, they'll breed in most systems - good critter - mainly nocturnal feeding on micro algae

i have one that seems to be doing pretty well there mostly filter feeders it seems. i add my calcium, reef plus addidtives, and a filter feeder food about twice a week. my tree, mushrooms, polyps, leather seem to be thriving with that, they catch food floating in the water also

[RogerL]

cool. what kind of lighting do you have karlas?

[karlas]

i actually have the lower end lighting 10 k pcs. thats why im staying away from the real hi light corals for now. eventually i will add another light strip then i will go with the higher lighting corals
