Hey All,
I'm new to SPS and picked up this frag along with a Red Monti Cap and some nice Pocci frags on the weekend from my LFS. I didn't get the name of the acro (If it has one) and I've just got some questions that I hope to have answered. First up is what's this guy called? The pictures don't really do justice but he has a very nice blue/green colouration with bright green polyps under blue light and a browner surface with hints of green under whiter light. My second question has to do with the polyp extension of the coral. The tips of the polyps come out during the day and a few open up fully at night when the lights are off. Its right in the centre of my tank where the flow meets and lots of light from my radions (in acclimation mode). Parameters are good as well, I feed my fish 2 - 3 times daily but I skim heavily and have a mature refugium, so nitrates stay around 1 and Phosphates around 0.04 - 0.05. I usually feed my coral 2-3 times a week, but I ran out of food last week and forgot to pick more up on the weekend, so I have to go back this week. Tanks been set up for almost 1 year now and has been stable for the past few months so I thought Id give SPS a go. Corals have only been in for 3 days, so I'm not to worried at the moment, just thought I'd ask. Thanks for any help!
