Starting a 6 gallon.

No. The Live rock shelf piece. Didnt work out the way I wanted it to. Now its more of a seeder piece that just kind of makes the right side under the power head a tunnel.

I would try and make to islands out of that.

Hmm...I wanted to do that. Not sure if I can or not. Im going to go try though!

Have fun. Don't make a mess of your room. Whenever i rearrange aquariums there seems to be an earthquake with the epicenter being that aquarium .

Same here. I found something that looks like a hard coral of some kind. I need an ID. Uploading pics now.

Wow. Check the NR coral library. http://www.nano-reef.com/corals/ I didn't see anything but you might. Looks like a brain coral or something. I posted a thread on RS to.

Thanks. I dont want to put it like it was (upside down getting no light) and it die on me.

I think I found it: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=597+321+427&pcatid=427

Opinions?

I'm waiting for replies on RS.

But i think so just that its lost some of its color.

Yea me too. Tanks finished being rescaped. I have that weird looking piece that its on (the pointy coral looking one) straight up in the air so the coraline side and the coral side gets light. Then on the left side I have one piece of base as the base of the tower. then the shelf and another piece of base to hold it there. Then a little triangle of base in the open center just to get seeded for no reason.

I wish i had at least a little 1 gallon filter for mechanical filtration. Takes FOREVER for this thing to clear.

I was informed on RS that it could be a goniastrea or some sort of favia.

umm... Link?

To the thread? http://www.reef-solutions.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726

Both brain corals. Just different types.

Okay. I really dont care witch specific type it is as long as the care is the same.

They could both have different requirements. I would look them up.

Doing that now.

LMK the results.

Im going to go out on a limb and say its Favia Brain

Do you think you can sustain it in your tank?

Should have no problems sustaining it actually. I mean I havent noticed any fluxes in temp or anything aside from that heat spike thanks to windows being left open. I also will get some frozen plankton next week from petsmart and drop in maybe 1/4 of a cube once a week. Until it gets bigger and work my way up to an entire cube a couple times a week once its full grown. According to everything I read they all agree on 2 things: #1: dosent need any supplements as long as you have a lot of calcium in your tank (Il be getting calcium and phosphate etc test so I can dose that.) But, Plankton or brine shrimp feeding occasionally does help. And #2: It has arms that it extends at night that can reach as far as it is big. For example: If its 8 inches it can shoot out 8 inch arms. So it is best to keep it where it cant hurt other corals.

Oh wait. Actually 3 things: If touched by a fish hand snail etc. it will react agressively.

So, My basic idea is figure out if the arms can float through the water or have to stay attached to something if its attached I can keep button polyps on the other island for awhile, Maybe permanently. If its float, I guess I have my star coral.

So you're fine as far as lighting goes? I'm pretty sure the arms stay attached to the coral and they probably can wave around in the water. However if you check the thread on RS i believe that not the favia but the other brain had sweeper tentacles.

From what iv read they all do. Thats the confusing part lol

Well i would post on RS or wake up at 3 in the morning and see if its tentacles are extended. Where are you checking?

i just put in Favia on yahoo search then narrowed it to brain favia...

Okay. Well i would definitely wake up early to see what it is.
