Thanks for the ID =)

Maybe i should move it to the sandbed. But i am quite surprise it can survive pretty well because i do not use RO/DI water and just doze some iodine and micro-nutrients. Hmm maybe i can try some LPS.

So lucky, buy live rock comes with free plate coral. Was it there already in this position when you got your live rock?

Dun worry, plate coral are pretty easy coral to keep.

If it is currently stuck to the rock, leave it as they will drop from the LR to sandbed when they are ready. In nature, plate pelagic larvae will settle on a LR and grow bigger before they will dislodge and fall onto they sandbed.

Hope that helps.

Engineer: yeap didnt notice it was there when I got it. It has been there since day 1

Gouldian: that is good, because I should have problem dislodging it =)

Any idea how much are those more colorful plates?
