Too much PE? (while you're at it, ID too please?)

Hi Cheryl, thanks!

More flow means more PE, in your case if other factors were the same?

 

None of my acropora like to be directly in front of a PH but they like it a lot right off to the side.

When all other things are decent, flow and SG make the most difference I guess. On more than one occasion I have read that long PE might be a sign of decreased oxygen availability especially at night. I do not believe that is the case.

PE is about the same every day, if it's not something is amiss and it's usually a SG climb.

 

I see... hmmm..

None of the acros in my tanks is sitting right in front of MP40s: this slimer is off to below.

Thanks again, Cheryl.

 

Too much PE?, that's like too much cowbell, lol.

Although, I agree with jonjonwells, that doesn't look too much like a slimer to me, but I'm no expert.

 

Thanks Jerry.

But... what is it.. then??

 

LoL! I'm still new to the saltwater hobby (~4 months), but I'm not sure there's anyway to have much of the former and still have much of the latter left. ;D

 

Looks more similar to something like a Joe the Coral or Borealis in structure to me. It's encrusting more than growing upright, which would suggest that its not a slimer. Whatever the case, it looks healthy, and you're doing something right!

 

I agree with Jerry and jonjon about coral type, does not have the corallite structure like a Slimer.

 

My guesses would be Blue Voodoo, Joe the Coral, and Borealis... in that order. That is if it was an ORA piece... of which, you will never be 100% sure. Either way, pretty sure not a slimer.

 

You will need lots of pods
