Got another coral today!!!!

[thecodfather]

I went to my lfs and got a new coral today. to me it looks like a frogspawn but what do you guys think? how much flow do they need? what do i feed them if they are not photosynthetic?

what do you guys think?

that looks like a frogspawn.  I don't know of anyone who feeds them on a regular basis, see that phosphorescence on the coral (the glow), that's zooxanthellae, it's the symbiotic algae that lives on the coral (or something like that), so no, you don't have to feed it.

Although, I have read that those that are target fed grow/multiply quicker.


moderate to low light, gentle swaying flow, preferably indirect.



The coral looks good! Nice find!

Yes you do! Although I have been neglectful lately!

They do grow faster when I feed, but as many have found, they will grow without feeding.
