is the lobo supposed to look like that does it send sweepers
and the torch any speical care?

 

[acrodave]

the lobo looks a little sick none of the skeleton should be showing like that That line that is about half in. down past were the skeleton is showing is were the sweepers come out of. Keep your water right for keeping stonies and feed it. it should come back. I would feed your bubble too. And the torch moderate flow and moderate to high light depending on light

Lots of tissue recession on the lobo for sure. Rics are the florida variety. I could be wrong, but I doubt that's an acro because I don't see any axial corallites.

 

[reeflover101]

what do they eat

 

[acrodave]

if not acro then what would it be dave ? the branch on the back looks to have axial corallites. but i could be wrong

 

[reeflover101]

?

I'm throwing my hat in for an Acro as well. I see axial corallites, though they're not well-defined, and the picture isn't that clear.

 

[cee]

If it is an acro, I'm guessing sarmentosa, and probably from a high flow region. I say that because even the radial corallites aren't well developed either, but I do see a few spots where there is some evidence of both axial and radial corallites.

better pic see what you think

I would agree on all the id'sother than the SPS. I have NO knowledge on them so I will not get in that discussion.

The lobo deff does not look happy at all. As stated the skeleton should not be showing like that. I would try to feed it some vitamen enriched mysis. See if you can get it to eat - I think that would greatly improve it's chances. Also make sure it is not getting blown away by current. Beware of the torch! I got one that looked very similar - as the tenticles get longer and happier they get a little brown color but the nouth area stays green. The tenticles will get long and have a VERY POWERFUL sting. Mine has damaged acan enchinata, zoas, even stung a hydnophora down to the skeleton!. Great coral and very pretty but just be careful with placement.

Good luck with them all
