Alamak Bro. Don't like that lah. I sell the cyna and 2 little blasto nothing to look at in my tank already. :cry::lol:

The first coral I really dunno what it's called , Hopefully some one out there can identify. The other day I went to this shop in Alexandra and the Uncle said it's called Durian Coral. Dunno if that's correct?? <_<

But when all the tentacles retract, it does look kind of spikey. :rolleyes:

Additional Info which I just Dug up. Quite useful to those intending to keep this coral. :)

Galaxea sp.

Quick Stats: Galaxy Coral

Family: Oculinidae

Polyp Size: LPS - Large polyp stony

Range: South Pacific

Color Form: Gray, Green, Pink, Brown

Ideal Supplements: Calcium, Strontium, Trace elements

Reef Compatible: Yes

Tank Conditions: 72-78ºF; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4

Water Flow: Medium

Light: High

Dominance: Aggressive

Placement: All levels

Care Level: Moderate

The Galaxea Coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral, and often referred to as the Galaxy, Star, Crystal, Starburst, Brittle, or Tooth Coral. Its genus name, Galaxea, is derived from the Greek word galaxaios (milky), describing the polyp's milky-white tips. While bright green is the most common, some species can be found in a variety of colors.

It is an aggressive coral in the reef aquarium, and therefore, needs adequate space between itself and other corals. Its polyps can extend up to several inches at night and will sting and cause damage to other species of corals that it can reach. The Galaxy Coral requires a high light level 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.

It requires additional food in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp twice a week.
