Three new friends.! Lol

Here are two new buddy's. Very small frags.

I believe it is a red flower pot.
And a red acan looked it up:Red Austrailian Acanastrea

Congrats dyskers,

Both very nice corals. For the Flower Pot ( Goniopora) you might want to research their nutritional needs.

 

yea i have been looking around town.. and i have a green one that seems happy and always open for the most part..

would like some info on the other though the acan..

will the flower pot grow bigger or not really..

also the acan will it grow or not really..

by grow i mean take over rock i put them on..

i also ment to ask you corailline.. suppelments as i read what do i need as far as test kits for calcium and other things and products to put in tank would you recomend?

 

Nice adds

The acans can spread very quickly if well fed. Not sure on the Goni. Reds are supposed to be among the hardiest so if its needs are met I would suspect it will grow.

 

thanks going to go to lfs after and get some differnt foods and some other stuff i may or may not need.. any suggestions on what i should buy? i also was thinking of cutting the acan off of frag thing and glueing to rock is that a good or bad idea?

 

A good frozen seafood mix that is well chopped should work for the corals.

You can remove the frag and glue to the rocks.

 

okay thanks

 

Rods food or any other small particulate food (ie planktonic foods and brine) will work well for the acan. Just fed each polyp every other day and you should get babies by the end of the month.

 

I would just routinely check your cal, alk, magnesium once a week and do the routine water changes with a decent quality salt mix. Once you get a feel for how the tank trends than you can cut back on the testing until the tank matures and you get more stony corals, clams and a lot of coralline growth.

Supplement do more danger than good IMO.

Test SG frequently. All parameter at any sign of stress, and nitrates around water changes times so you get an idea of if your wc are effective and if the volume changed is sufficient or you need to be more proactive in reducing nutrients.

 

What glue? On way to store.
