the fish is getting dripped while the coral floats.

TMC - tropical marine center. Its where a lot of shops get their corals and fish from. Also they may UV's and skimmers etc

hope this was fast enough, the lights went out testurday before the polyps were fully out on the coral.

here he is a little shy - clowns show the size

Zoomed in a bit - crappy phone

Coral skeleton - just after it went in, no polyps

What i woke up to this morning

thanks for looking

would be a guess but Montipora Setosa?

 

[ben1987]

orite mate,

a couple of lads over on UR reckon some kind of hydnophora SP

 

[ben1987]

I thought it was a monti, but its not. Cant remember what the guy said it was anyway.

It was out the frag side of the tank at wharf, but to me its colony sized again

il put more pics up, probably 2moro once its settled

I would agree that it definitely looks like a Hydnophora. Which is technically an LPS by most people's standards Pretty demanding coral though, requires lots of light, flow, and pristine water to thrive

Cheers ski, i actually wondered once it was in the tank. As there is quite a bit of fleshy stuff between the polyps. It also took some food when i fed the tank and puffed up like the heads on LPS corals do

Grew a bit in the LFS tank over a few weeks though.

That's a nice new coral How about an up-dated FTS? What type of tank is the new one? Salifin?
