[Break122704]

i just got this turbanaria cup, i go this from my supplier, is this coral have polups which will come out and how long do they adapt to a tank, or does it not have polyps?

Please give me some more info

It should have polyps. It may take some time and direct feedings for them to come out during the day. This is mine. It took a couple of weeks of cyclopeeze for it to come out and I have never fed it since.

i guess i will shoot some cyclopeeze into it and see if it does the job

DaddyJax, what sort of lighting/flow is that thing getting?


My little turbinaria never looks happy.

Mine either, it grows but never looks like that

keep them in lower halide light with thorough flow.

Middle tank and decent flow. It has looked like that for over a year now. The polyps are a little smaller but they are out all the time!

The polyps are so large on a Tubanaria, you'll get arguments over whether it is even an SPS. They are also almost bullet proof. One of the hardiest hard corals you'll find.
