WTB: Coral

[Dez Ching]

Hi guys, anyone selling this coral or seen it at LFS? I can't seemed to find it nowadays.
It's skeleton is more finger-shaped like, and not those dome-shaped goniopora. Can anyone advise me where it is selling, or if anyone letting go? Thanks guys.

What you are looking for are known as alveopora corals.

Not commonly available.

Have seen these at Iwarna and Pacific Reef.

I remember golden octopus has them occasionally too. Remember to do coral dips after purchases though.

Hi Bro Mellow, thanks for the update.
Do you mean coral dips as freshwater dip? And why is it necessary? Do guide me along.
Thanks.

A freshwater dip is one way but typically not 'harsh' enough.

Coral dips such as Two Little Fishies Coral Revive or CoralRX are popular brands of 'dips' to kill worms & other parasites & pests that may be hidden in the coral.

Actually, I never do neither freshwater dips before for my corals... That is why now I faced problems myself. Even though all live rocks started off as dead rocks, now it seemed like there are creepy crawlers I saw at night... Must have been from the corals I bought... Alamak!!

Bro Leon, if I do CoralRx dips now for the corals and the affected live rocks, do you think it can help?

If anyone spot it at LFS, please let me know yah? Thank you.

Coral dips are generally come in small bottles & expensive. Not economical to dip larger rocks.

Many of these creepy crawlies are in fact beneficial & feed on leftover food.
