It does look like a Condy but please tell me it's not glued to a frag plug.

 

[ReeferDom]

Sure looks like it!!!

I would be worried about the frag plug but I'm 95% sure that is a duncan (LPS coral)

 

[ca1ore]

Agreed, it's a Duncan LPS!

[Dannysanemone]

Duncan coral you have is not an anemone. Perfectly fine to glue it to a frag plug.

What they were telling you is that it's a Duncan coral not a sea anemone.

Still neat though.
Do your research before buying an anemone. Some are tough to raise.

Duncans are my favorite coral. In my experience they are also pretty hardy. Though it was not what you meant to buy, I think it is better personally. Duncans were my first coral and though they are in the LPS (large polyp stony) coral family and not the soft coral family, they seem to be forgiving of beginner mistakes. Give him moderate flow and light and if you want him to grow faster for you then turn off your pumps and feed him like twice a week with brine shrimp, mysis shrimp or something of similar size by blowing some directly over his mouth with a turkey baster or a pipette. They have an excellent feeding response and grow quickly when fed. Even if not fed directly they are still a fun coral.

you don't wanna glue anemones down, that can possibly kill them by burning the foot. with anemones you let them go in the tank to where they want to, not where you want them

hello guys can i mix together a&b kent marine nano reef ?

 

[shifty51008]

If a&b are the cal and alk parts, then no you cant mix them, they have to be dosed seperatly or you will get presipitation. Usually dose 1 part in the morning and the other at night works out well.

Duncan's are excellent hardy corals, great animals
