I had posted this up before asking for an ID and most thought it looked like a Duncan . Here is the same coral , any new ID thoughts and growth comments welcome .

TODAY
I use the short pulse (blue) mode . I keep the flow up high with fast pulses . It creates a wave across the top of the tank and you can see the corals going up and down from the flow/pulse .
I also like the reefcrest and the lagooncrest has a nice effect . I switch them around whenever I can...
I've had that happen many times . All colonies are fine and one right near them just seems to melt/fade/shrink away . I had a small colony on a shell in the tank for over a year and spreading fine . I had no new additions that I can think of and that colony, which has been surrounded by others...
I usually try to pry the rock surface right under the paly's . I use a sculpting tool that has a sharp spear/spade shapped head on it. If you get it on the right angle they can come off in a mat if they are the mat growing type (?) . I hope you can make sense out of that it reads weird but thats...
The $1000 is the going rate for this. You basucally get the car $1000 over wholesale . A better way is to go with them to the auction to see and decide what you want ,not really allowed by auction rules but can be done .
These are dealer only auctions,not the ones you see on tv for the public...
I was unfortunatley greeted this morning by my skimmer pumping as much water as it could onto the floor , >:( . I had planned on a water change today so lucky I had some salt water mixing, not the right temp but it had to do . I also stripped the skimmer that I also planned to clean later today...
I was waiting to see the outcome before posting . Long story .
I had placed an order with Coral Fanatics and some of the zoo colonies did not travel well. This is really not the fault of the shipper but I called anyway . They were very understanding and gave me a fair credit for any future...
I would go with one Vortec , I have one on my 65 gallon and love the wave mode, the other modes are also great. Its nice to be able to change flow rates/directions with just a push of a button. It will also be great when you upgrade and want to keep corals . I know there expensive but they will...
You can try Carquest Motors in south Amboy . My good freind owns it and gets really nice clean cars . He has a good inventory or can get basically anything you need . If interested call me and I can set it up for you . Every dealer basically gets there cars from the same sources . Why pay big...
You can use a round plastic water bottle. Cut the top off leaving about an inch with it ,turn it around (invert it) and push it back into the bottle . Should look like a funnel . Add a piece of larger food in the bottle and place it near the rock work where you think the mantis might be . With...
If its a pest, it sure is a real pretty one ;D Does it take food ??Looks like it might.
It really shouldn't do much damage since you have it isolated on that rock,I would let it grow out and see what it turns into .
Roadking,its all yours ,I will pm you my info . Glad you jumped in to get this going.
malulu, it really does not matter what type of frag you put up. It does not have to be a fair swap, just has to be something someone else would like.
