    Here it is. I have a small piece and a bigger piece. I also have one of the same but the coral is white with black tubes. What would that one be as well?

    What is it? Is tubastrea the right name for it or Tube Coral? Is there like a specific name for it? And what about a black one?? Same thing. YEa i know about the special feeding requirements. I feed them with a make shift Turkey needle injector and straw lol. works better than a turkey baster.

    It looks like a "sun coral" or "tubastrea"

    Whys that. Fish eating it?

    My big one has been a problem for me. The big heads look and or are dead but there are new smaller heads poping up so i am trying to revive them.

    I can keep them. I just choose not to. They are too needy for me.
