hi help me id this coral ...

Carnation coral, they tend to be very difficult to keep long term. It is non-photosynthetic so you will need to spot feed it daily.

 

thanx ....

 

I almost made that mistake today- I had one in my order from saltcritters and had to go back and ask them to remove it after I found out they are harder to keep than dendros

 

It is a carnation.

These are very hard coral to keep and require several a day feedings. It is NPS (non photosynthetic) so it gets no nutrient what so ever from light.

I have couple of them right now, but they are in a NPS tank. Some people say they require continous feeds (through a drip line) however we feed ours 3-4 times a day. While you are feeding so much, they also require pristine water.

Here is some info I copied from live aquaria on the care of this coral:

It is extremely difficult to maintain in the reef aquarium, and should be housed in an established reef aquarium, by the more advanced marine aquarist. It requires low lighting combined with medium to strong water movement. It is necessary to have a constant current with an abundance of algal plankton. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of strontium, iodine, and other trace elements to the water.

It does not contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae. Therefore, its diet should include live, baby brine shrimp, micro-plankton, and other small foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates, in order to survive in the reef aquarium. These foods must be available almost constantly. Again, only expert aquarists should attempt to keep this coral.

 

we feed ours a mixture of:
reef freenzy, reef pearls, cyclopeeze, oyster feast, rotifers, baby brine.

Good luck! Feel free to pm either me or inwall 75 for any questions you might have
