New Coral, What Can You Tell Me About It

[nmprisons]

I went to a store I had never been to before and they had this in one of their tanks, unmarked and at a reasonable price. I think it is an echino, but they said it was something else.

What is it? What are its lighting and flow requirements? Thanks a lot. I know I should have figured this stuff out first, but it was a good dal and I was pretty sure I could find a way to take care of it.

With the corallites angled out like that I'd say it's a Mycedium.

Nice! Looks like Mycedium Or Oxypora . Dont blast them w/ too much light, keep it low, more blue to the spectrum is best for this corals.

Thanks Menard, I have it about half way down in my tank with some indirect flow. what about feeding?

They could live off just the light alone. Keep an eye on your Ca and Alk.
