    I went from 150W MH to DIY LED lighting 3 months ago and my green eyed mummy has grown over a half inch. My coralline is growing so fast I sware you can watch it grow. 3 inch plates in some spots. Its causing the CA to drop way to fast. Im adding 3-5 tsp of tubo CA a day on top of a Kalk reactor. I'm adding a CA reactor this week but the coralline is out of control. My sps growth has slowed or stopped due to the lack of CA. CA is down to 260. Coraline ...&%%$#@! is right.

    Those are giant green clove polyps, each head is about the size of a 50cent piece or about 2" across

    Its scientific name cyphastrea japonica common name is minefield cyphastrea
    They come in several different colors, i have a couple different colonies. meteor shower cyphastrea is popular i have one its teal base with orange polyps, I also have a purple base with red polyp one too. They grow pretty quick, i would classify them as a SPS coral
