turbinaria

At first I bought this as a chalice but I'm wondering if it is a Turbinaria? Are Turbinarias LPS or SPS, it doesn't seem clear to me on the information that I saw?

Hello all! The first seven months of my saltwater hobby has been quite a crash course. Last time I posted I had a BG chromis and an orange spot shrimp goby. I found a really good deal for a pair of black storm clowns for $80. I hadn't been quarantining and the clowns died of brooklynella and the...

I've had this La Laker scroll coral for a couple weeks, decided to place it here with lots of flow and lighting. It seems happy since its polyps are always out (unless I turn the pumps off for feeding). I was most focused on these features, but I see now a lack of contact with rock, as well as...

Hello, I’m quite desperate. I’m relatively new to the hobby and since a month or two my poor turbinaria coral is going in decline. Every day I wake up and it’s missing more and more polyps, leaving behind naked coral and a hole. What is wrong with it? I tested all parameters and they’re...

Long story short. I got new lights over the summer and watched the turbinaria go from yellow to a nice dull red undertone and growth for the first time ever. That took may 3 months. After 2 months away, I have returned to a tank filled with cyano, but a growth in most coral including the...

I’ve had it for 4 months, I can see more of these “holes” were a polyp once was and browning on the edge. What’s wrong with it? Can someone give me some pointers? Recently tested my values and everything was in the norm. Would really appreciate some help as I’m quite new to the hobby

I received this frag through WWC and the first day it had these tiny spiky polyps that would come out of the of the tubes. The frag mount wasn’t securely put in because I was trying to figure out the best placement. Them came along a emerald crab which dropped it into the sand. I remounted it...

I received this frag from WWC labeled as a Blue Heron Turbinaria. In person it looks dark blue to violet, and the polyps are bright green. I think this is a Turbinaria reniformis (probably the WWC purple scroll turbinaria) but I haven't had a blue heron turbinaria before and the growth pattern...
