SRC Member Matt06 Posted December 21, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 21, 2003 It is not as easy to keep as what you think, especially if you have high nitrate level... and cool water for it to grow and healthy. Pasir Ris just got stock of quite a number of Jewels, you might like to visit them again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dispar_Anthias Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Pls do not try to keep this coral. They have bad reputation of not surviving more than few months in your tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member sinner Posted December 22, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 22, 2003 haha and that was wat the dealer told me exactly... worst thing is he even mentioned it could survive with one actinic FL... and after 2mths since brought some part of the coral "botak"!!!!

Sometimes its better to ask certain requirement of a particular coral in the forum or read up from reputable website instead of asking the lfs owner.

Nothing much you can do since it is in your tank.....try feeding live phytoplankton and rotifers, it may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Matt06 Posted December 22, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 22, 2003 You might like to do your best to keep it alive now, instead of wasting your time observing how it die... Anyway, I agree with Dispar_anthias that you should not consult LFS seller as they usually know little about what they are selling, remember, most of them just sell for the money...
