    nice looking coral. Is it an aussie or an indo? I can't see the skeleton, but hopefully it's an aussie.

    Looks fantastic 2in10. Are those corals considered difficult to keep?

    Thanks Steve

    Thanks Ryan, they are considered one of the more difficult LPS due to sensitivity to changes and handling. Once one is acclimated they seem to do well and become easier to maintain. It also depends on where they are harvested. Australian waters are considered the best.

    It's so hard to tell the difference. Was it recently fragged when you purchased it? Is the rock it's coming out of light or dark color?

    Who did you buy it from?
