Hi sarah, mine are welsophyllia radiata aka trachaphyilla (sp), they are very rare over here in the U.S but some dealers carry them. They are just rare morphs.

Thanks!

No. I run a pretty good sized skimmer, 100 micron polyester filter pads, rowaphos, a ton of carbon, and ozone occasionally. I don't use any macro algae, but I have an unlit sump with cooked live rock in it (an experiment). The filtration is pretty aggressive.

Here is my japanese brain. I paid 175.00 for it

What are they doing to get those colors? That does not look natural to me...

NAKA obviously your LPS enjoy the BB, any secrets. I would like to set-up a LPS dominate tank that is BB for the easy maintenance aspect. My favorite LPS are scolymia, hammers & frogspawn, bubbles, and blasto's.

Also I eventually would like to have a multi-colored dwarf angel, would that work with LPS.

No secret here Jeff. I target feed my LPS about 2 times a week and watch them swell up like balloon next day. Lot of corals suffer from their tank inhabitants. Dwarf angels especially likes to pick at scolys and brain corals.

Thanks,

I think the acan. lords meet the criteria as most beautiful LPS. Here's mine:

[Joshua1023]

I have to agree. Sps corals are overrated in my opinion. Red open brain is by far the nicest
