We never get tired of looking at this cyphastrea. On a side note we are growing a colony on an old squamosa clam. Once it takes off a little more we will share a picture of it with you.

Hi AquaNerd.

I bought a Bizarro Cyphastrea yesterday and the polyps are yet to come out. I have placed it in a shadow on my sand bed. How long do you think I should wait until moving it

Hello MneReefer,

I would advise keeping your newly acquired frag on the sandbed and out of direct light until acclimated (until polyps come out). I have seen frags take anywhere from 2-3 days to several weeks to completely acclimate to a new environment. Hope you enjoy your new bizarro!

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the reply. I have currently got it on the sand bed and under a ledge.

Thanks again
