Pen Coral

[pandagold]

Just bought a pen coral and is now wondering around the tank. It's not like other corals which comes with Rock .

It's now drafted with the current and anchored behind my tank, which is rather irritating as we cannot see !

Hope someone help .

Their natural substrate is very fine sand/silt. It probably has difficulty in anchoring itself as I think your sand size might be too large. You can help it by creating a depression in your sand, insert a length of pvc tubing all the way down the sand column. Place the base of the sea pen in the pvc pipe and hope it stays there.

thanks for your solution . I've tried to use a small rock to anchor it down the sand, but it just decided to srink it's base and started straying

used your solution. No luck , Pen coral has the same solution, srink it's base smaller and drafted . Seems to have a brain of it's own

By the way, my sand is coral chip size 0 .

Can I use Proxy to stick it to the pipes ?

Getting all busy because of this pen coral, sigh.....

( for some reason, it seems to like the left rear corner ?? , not too much wave and minimal lighting )

This one pain the the butt. It seems to have settled down at the back of the tank, and the only way to view it is through the reflection of the side glass panel !!.....sigh !!

Bought it from West Coast Market . Let me know if you are interested. This weekend going there for coral shopping again, much to the dismay of my wife
