Aiyo why don't remove the frag stand from the disc and paste? Will look much better bro.

Haha yup, The frag stand purpose is for placing the plug on frag tray / egg crates. If u placing it on rocks, can use a cutter to remove the stand, and paste the plug directly on the rock, so the zoa can spread around onto the rock itself eventually.

What is the name for above picture left bottom Green colour coral?

A little update for what happen last 2 weeks.

Sudden lost 2 yt demsel, purple fire goby, all cleaner shrimp , found white spot on the 2 tang, advised by shifu, remove them to my spare 2 ft tank an bring down the salinity to 1.018 and add Herbtana. up to date, balance fishes are doing fine.as for Main tank, I bring down to 1.023.

possible cost of the fish death is the way I change the water. Pain to learn

Lost 2 head of my Torch coral last 2 days becoz of salinity drop to 1.021, so have bring up back to 1.023.

( Still try to find out why the salinity fluctuate so much...)

Using Pure salt mix.

.

Current basic parameter as below:

Salinity 1.023

ph about 8

Ammo 0

Nitrate 0

Stock that Have add in are

2 x favia from GO

1 x open brian from GO

1 x chalic from GO

1 x leather from Iwarna hand pick by shifu James

3 x leather from Bro Brian

2 clam from Aquamarin
