week #5 { porites } . This week I will do things a little different. Pinkskunk had asked for me to do yellow porites but there are so many type of porites that can be yellow like: p. cylindrica, p. lichen, p. astreoides etc. so I decided to do the hole group of porites at once (any color). And the requirements for almost all the porites is pretty much the same. I will probably break down this group of corals into smaller groups in the future. I have a feeling this thread could be rather large due to the fact porites are introduced on live rock all the time. I have about 3 different types in my tank right now that came in on live rock. The different porites can also be rather hard to identify so If you know the type of porites you have please let us know and post a picture.
Every week I will post a new coral and I want you to post everything you know about this particular coral. Everything from common names, how hardy they are, water temp, water flow, lighting, water parameters, fraging, spawning, related corals, scientific names, feeding, best ways to ship, etc. Post your pictures for identification. Please tell us about your system so others can duplicate your success. Also email me for request on which corals you would like to see in this section.
