Reefs2go.com second order from. Usps jacked up shipping so I was worried. Lost Lunar Eclipse and Passion Fruit polyps. Still waiting to see how Australian White Pipe Organ does. No activity from it. Long Haired Green Eyed zoa is starting to open too. For xmas they had a 50% off all coral sale. They sold out of prob 98% of their coral.

Really? That doesn't make me feel good. What kind of conditions does she have it in? Full light? High or low in tank? Flow?

reynaldoramon · Jan 3, 2015

And u got a hammer there? I was looking for one there and didn't see it. I'd love a hammer!

Haha, i sure will!!

Just out of curiosity, what shipping did you use. I used priority 2-3 day. Wonder if I'd used 1-2 day express if I'd had no loss.

That's Cladopsammia gracilis, much more difficult to care for long term than any Dendrophyllia spp. There's some info in the link above regarding they're care... in short they're not a great option for most reef tanks.
