Thanks
Justin I did not know about the other thread....
I am supprised at how little information their is on these guy's. They really are very cool looking and seem to be pretty easy to care for.

I agree, very little information. Really depends on the species you have to; Most assume because its an LPS coral that moderate light and flow works for em all, not so as Im finding more and more out. Although I think there is more that fit the typical role of an LPS coral in the hobby-trade than ones that dont. Really just depends on the type and where it was collected. Some gorgeous morphs out there though, including yours btw I know Dr. Mac had some beautifull peices a few weeks ago, and theres still one on atlantis's sight, but still very limited indeed. Hopefully some fellow hobbyists will have some more pics to share with us all.

[Justin74]

Oh you see that do you? Someones been doing some investigating :lol:

Hey ReefMonger: Have you developed any formulas with varying morphs for success in relation to light and flow? So far with the few I have flow is mandatory, and some like a fairly strong current. The light Im thinking is not as important as the flow though, whats your thoughts on this, and what kinda conditions you keeping yours under as they all look very healthy.Thanks.

Mine are pretty much right at the top of my tank under 4 54 watt t-5s that are overdriven and my return kinda blows over them so the flow is good. They are such a cool ignored coral.
