Plate Coral Question

Post by Redfish » Sun Mar 25, 2012 7:57 pm

I read something in a National Forum that I didn't know, there is a bunch that I don't :lol: know but this kinda surprised me. This reefer was asking what plate corals needed, to do good in his tank. The reply was that they needed to be in a low flow area of the tank or they would move on their own to find a spot, I didn't know they could move. Have any of you plate coral owners seen one move?

OHH yeah, you will see it most clearly by partially berrying it and by the next morning it will have moved and be sand free! I saw a cool time lapse once.
