All sps corals need 250w-400w se halides to bring out there true colors. IMO

Hmmm

Nah....you're mistaken my friend. But entitled to your opinion.

+1

Obviously never toyed with a Radium or Phoenix 150 DE bulb or you would never say that.

Tell that to the SPS thriving under my 70w DE halide. Research is key my friend.

Keep the pearlberry pictures coming!

I've unsuccessfully kept two pearlberry now. One was encrusted on a ORA plug, and the other came as a frag from a well established colony.

Within a few weeks, they STN'd to nothing. All my other SPS are awesome, tank params as good as 5 varying new test kits could test.

Anyone else notice any strange STN?

I had one for over a year then I moved this past Aug. And it STN'd over a few weeks. I tried again about a month ago and the new one STN'd as well in about 2 weeks.

I'll probably be waiting some time before trying again.

Where is the best place to put my pearlberry in my tank and it is 32" deep 180 gallon . I have 3- 250w M/H and 2-72" VHO 03.
I just got my 2nd ORA after my first died in less that 1 week in my tank. I do not want to kill this ORA pearlberry again.
Thank you,
Daniel

I would keep it high and in good flow. Make sure to acclimate it to you lighting slowly.

Here is mine placed 10cm from watersurface under a mix of ATI Blueplus, Blue special and KZ fiji purple in a ATI Sunpower T5-lamp.

This has become my favorite acro. It just looks better every day as it grows out.

 

[Buganddoug]

Are they fast growing?

 

[dmorel]

Like most have said, good flow and lotsa light. I have mine under a 50K spot and a few hours a day of 15K

Grows well for me now that it's established, I was able to give away my first frag of this today and have another growing out.

Wow, there are some beautiful pearlberry's in this thread. I picked one up at the LFS just today ... I guess I gotta post it. It ain't a perfect pic, but it's the best my $100 camera can do. What can I say - my money all goes into corals, not cameras!

It was under 400W 20K SE at the store; it will be under T5's now.

I just snapped this photo today, I have to agree with Chessmanmark, this one keeps growing on me more and more, I moved it a bit lower, starting to show more green in the polyps.
