2 New Corals

Post by Redfish » Thu Oct 29, 2009 6:07 pm

I added two new corals to my tank, these are my first SPS corals for my tank. I bought them from our favorite LFS. The first one is a Bird of Pardise and the second is a Birds Nest of some kind.

Well. it kinda holds its same circumference all the way out to the end, not really pointed, I would say. I placed it at the top of my tank. is this alright?

yes thats fine, although in case your lights are brighter than where they came from you should consider placing towards bottom at first and then moving to top over a short period of time

I hate it! My snails have done that to some of my corals before. I have lost a couple of corals because they were knocked down and they fell into my frogspawn coral. :evil:

The frogspawn made it but the 2 that fell into it did not make it. :( Talk about getting mad.
