    Hi guys

    Could someone please identify the coral in the picture. Also for the last few days the coral hasn’t expended (stood up) any ideas why this may be the case.

    Regards

    Jon

    Hi

    thanks for the fast reply. I would say that its in a moderate flow. there is good movement ont he branches, but nothing to extreme. I can take a short video if it helps.

    regards

    my colt, which looks pretty similar to this, took several days to really 'poof' out and expand its little bristles (or whatever you call them). Mine prefers low flow, low light.

    hi guys

    water parms yesterday where fine, i'm re testing later today so i will post. have a hammer coral, flower pot coral, a few plate corals all doing fine, and seem to be growing. Also the clowns , damsels and the trigger are eating and for the most part full of the joys of spring.

    I might leave the coral there for the rest of the day and then, may be try and move him to a lower flow than what he is in at the moment. But i dont think it will be much lower.
