4 x 2 x 2.5 with MH lighting.

you are so blessed. getting corals growing on your lr is quite rare. it even survived the maturing part. and it is quite sought after. but it is a little too small. take good care of it and it might be a very beautiful piece.

[hbpencil]

Yes, I definitely will. Has been observing it since then and it's my baby, man!!

[DeepBlue]

those are zoanthids...commonly known as buttons

[hbpencil]

Thanks, DeepBlue ....

Do you know what is Pic 7 ... the white piece of thing?? It has been growing sticking to the side of my overflow .... should I remove it?

In Pic 5, it should be a colonial sponge which spreads very quickly given the right conditions, namely an abundance of phytoplankton. It is not that bad except when it grows in plague proportions.

[hbpencil]

Thanks Rumor. Is it harmful for fish or reef?

Pic 4 is a cauliflower...

Not easy to care for. Needs to be fed with plankton for it to be open.

Must have gd moderate flow of current but doesn't require much light.

[KingFish]

Hardly , its more a case of it overtaking your rocks and in some cases binding them together. It'll smother Coralline when it covers them and that is about it.

I have bits of green and purple which I allow them to grow with pruning. Adds a little more colour to an otherwise majority red and purple rocks.

Its up to you ...
