    Indeed.

    Also, do NOT dip Hawkins in Coral RX; it will kill it.

    I have a similar one. Got it from Jason fox's private collection. Never seen anything like it in circulation.

    imo it will do well under 20k deep if the lighting is over 150 watts i would go with mh on this coral deep in the tank put under direct light with med flow
    cal 500
    alk 10+
    mag 1500
    iodine weekly
    strontium weekly
    and do not place any where near an aggressive coral one sting and its over it is a very beautiful coral and worth the trouble if you can maintain its requirements,very slow grower

    I used to have an ORA Blue Iris. It brings me pain to tell the story or its tragic kidnapping and disappearance.. Although now a cold case, all signs point to a snail who sacrificed this precious coral by pushing it off the frag rack into open water. It landed in the dangerous sand, where the murderer pistol shrimp used it to build his evil under layer. RIP, forever missed.

    best story ever! I once convicted a Hydnopoha of Aggravated Assault followed by second degree murder for jumping on top of my sunset mille. After an exhaustive trial my turbo snail was indited for Accessory.
