The one in front? Kinda looks like a pectinia to me. I forget the species. Let me go check something, be right back.

Go here:

and then looka t either Pectinia alcicornis or Pectinia Paeonia and see what you think.

 

[AquaristicA]

I'm pretty sure it is an Pectinia paeonia, but they both looks very similar.

Thanks for answer....

Now the pectinia is starting to bleach at the tip of the branches, what should i do? the water params is all good, and aclimation went slowly and steady...

Please help me out here.

Can youmove it lower in the tank. Perhaps its reacting to too much light.

 

[menard]

Dont give'em too much light. They are deep water animals. Place it down low. Good Luck

 

[AquaristicA]

Ok, im placing it down to the bottom...

 

[AquaristicA]

Now it's stoped bleaching and is recovering fast

Thanks
