January 7, 201214 yr Author comment_466764 green star polyp? well asoon as i bought it away it went but if u mean from when my lights come on take like 15 mins and theyre almost all out Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466765 i've had mine in my tank for 1hr and a halve and so far nothing, i'll just have to wait Report
January 7, 201214 yr Author comment_466766 oh yeah give it a day or two bro hows your parameters? mines spreading like mad. did you atleast temperature acclimate it? and also is it under the same lights as where it came from? Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466767 yea i did acclimate it, no i think they just have t5s at wonderworld, i have a 150W halide and 2 t8s Report
January 7, 201214 yr Author comment_466768 ok well I know they dont require a lot of light so i wouldnt put em at the top smack bang under a halide so put em at the bottom of your tank and then slowly bring them higher up if u want them up higher in tank over the period of say 3-4days or even a week they might be in a little shock they wont be used to halide id imagine. just my opinion Report
January 7, 201214 yr comment_466771 I have them at the bottom corner of the tank in the sand not in direct light Report

February 11, 201214 yr Author comment_472067 its a green bubble coral my lighting is set up with more white than any actinics or other spectrum and just t5's so dont get alot of colour popping out but get great growth and corals love it. My clown (sharkbait) is starting to host in it, Which I dont really want but not getting an anemone only had bad experience with them. Report
