Purple And Yellow Corals And Lck

[euphoria]

Hi experts! Has anyone been to LCK over the weekend?

The are 2 tanks, one filled with orange branches and the other, purple ones...

Are those SPS also? The colour is very nice...are they hard to keep?

Montipora Coral, Branched type?

peaceful and can be placed in close proximity to other similar peaceful corals in the reef aquarium. It is moderately difficult to maintain and should be housed in a mature reef aquarium. It will require medium lighting combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. - www.liveaquaria.com

Saw a lady who has no chiller and Mh buying it.....insisted in getting those sweet stuff despite them telling her it might not be suitable....

They are hydrocorals and are not photosynthetic. They are typically found under ledges and in caves, in deeper waters.

Hehe....hope she learns a lesson...it would be really dumb of her to go back & buy some more after they die.

Not those impossible to keep Distichopora and Stylaster again? They can't be kept alive in the aquarium.

saw the pics on the net...looks more like Distichopora

I hope she doesn't have sensitive skin....

Some species of lace/Millepora corals can cause pain...

huh?

also read that they are normally found in caves? so no need so much lights?

[Tanzy]

They don't use light at all. They feed off plankton.

Hope she knows whether its dead or alive... sometimes is hard to see as even dead specimens still retain colour.

She needs to see if there are tiny almost invisible hair-like polyps.

What's the point. It will surely die and get covered by algae.
