    Hi, I just bought this coral, but I already forgot what the guy at the store told me it was. I liked the color. Any idea what it is?

    Looks like a candy cane or a trumpet to me.

    Kind of looks like a lobo to me but not sure. Where is it placed in the tank height wise?

    Oh no!!
    I didn't know I was suppose to put it somewhere special! I just got it today and put it up on the top of the rock at the top of the tank. Probably six inches from the top.

    36 inch T5 set up just changed my bulbs 5 days ago to:
    T5HO ACTINIC BLUE 460NM TULUMEN BLUB (2 of them)
    T5FO 12,000K WHITE TULUMEN BLUB (2 of them)


    46 gallon bow front.

    so far the coral has been in the tank for 6 hours and it seems to be doing well.
