Alien eye enchino

[JGoslee]

This is my alien eye echinopora

I got this last week. Was wondering what the optimum conditions would be? Right now its at the bottom of my tank in medium flow.

 

[JGoslee]

Is this the normal color or is it going to color up?

Looks a little bleached. What color was it supposed to be?

I think its Echinphyllia Lamellosa, I have one very much like it.

This is what it should look like once it colors up, excuse the 20k lighting.

JG it will color up nicely once it gets comfortable in your tank. I would say lower lighting and flow, and feed it regularly, and it will be looking sweet in no time.

I'd say its definitely echinopora. I have a blue frag from RandyO that is taking off nicely. Like mentioned, keep it in lower light and it should color back up for you. Once it starts to color back up, gradually give it more light.

Thanks for the advise guys. I have it in medium flow but I think it might be getting to much light. I guess Ill move it to a shaded area. It almost looks like the new growth is coming in with color.
