wasp Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Not sure, but could it be some type of sun coral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 yeah i would say some type of tubestrae (sp) sun coral. I thought they were either orange or black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 that aint no torch fool (to be read like mr T was saying it) but yeah it does normally look more puffy normally when the polyps are subtracted, (mine looks like that at night) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskisteve Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 J in my tank that type likes to be shaded although ive seen it in other tanks in full light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 as i said i got a frag from steve, mine actually does better directly under the halide at the bottom of the tank (its recently grown quite abit since i moved it to give it more light) its all relative to howmuch light you actually have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 it's at the bottom of the tank under hallide light. its never as full as this one though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
