Calmwaters First Saltwater Build

[luis angel]

Also anyone got an idea on what this one is? It has never opened up more than it is in this picture and I want to try to find a spot where it's happier so it will but I don't know where to start.

Look like Dendrophilia

Thank you I will look that one up.

Thank you I will look that one up.

I think Luis is right, my second thought would be a sun coral, non photogenic and needs fed but I think Luis is right, i’d put my money on what Luis said.

I think you are both right as well after looking at pictures according to Tidal Gardens a good place to try is a bit below a power head and I think I know just where to place it that it might like. I will also start directly feeding it frozen foods I have thawed with a turkey baster as he suggested.

That looks like an NPS (Nonphotosynthetic) Dendro maybe. If it is, they require food. Whatever it is it isn't happy so there's no flesh band.

Y'all beat me to it.

Yes i found the sun coral, also known as Tubastraea, is a cup coral in the family Dendrophylliidae, there are too many species and I didn't know the name lol

That's why I'm trying to figure out how to make it happy. Hopefully when I move it and feed it tomorrow it will be happier.

That's the one I looked at on Tidal Gardens it will be stunning if I can get it happy again.

That is likely a Fat Head Dendro. They seem to be the most readily available in the industry.

Thanks for the help guys I am off to sleep now. Hugs to you all!

It’s still acclimating, give it a little time, it’ll be a stunner.

Sweet dreams Amanda!

Well, maybe not a Fat Head. I dunno.

I will research them both and try it in a few areas and try feeding it to see what I can do.

Fish order arrived at a little before 11:30 sadly 3 of the Dispar Anthias and the Line Spot Flasher Wrasse didn't make it. I have submitted a claim hopefully they will honor it as well as the last company did. I hate that they were delayed by FedEx and didn't make it.
