Free coral?

[ou12004]

A golf ball coral is a Favia Fragum, I do not see many people using phyto for LPS, most people are using a Amino Acid and a broader spectrum coral food like Coral Frenzy or Reef Roids. I would do some research on how Phtyo works, but I do not use it in my tank. I absolutely would not use as much as was recommended in a tank that is cycling and has no softies or acros and very few LPS or filter feeders. Here is my Favia as a reference point.

Well I most likely would've used reef roids but they said not to during the cycling. So I'll use much less phytoplankton than suggested

I use Kent phytomax and Seachem reef zooplankton. I mix it with frozen cubes of sally's saltwater multi-pack and chopped nori. I also feed coral frenzy at night when all lights are off.
I can take some pictures for you. I also have many cool sponges and tunicates that are doing well. Some of the corals look like anemones, but are non-photosynthetic corals. My rock came from gulfliverock.com. Good stuff.

Definitely a free coral. I have several of these colonies on the Florida aquacultured live rock i bought last year.

I also had several Oculina robusta colonies that survived for five days in the box.

Are they ok? Should I do anything about it?

Never mind, I read it wrong. But sweet. Thankyou

They are doing just fine. They made it through the tank cycle with no issues. They are very hardy corals.

Here's an update on the blasto. I've fed it twice so far. Today when I came home from school was the first time I saw it standing up like this and this open.

Yea it is the ORA Pygmy file fish. Completely reef safe so far.

Brian, nice work those look happy. Is that an anemone in the back ground?

Thanks. Yes it is. I have to kill it. Either with nearly boiling water or buy stuff to put on it. That's the biggest of about 3 or 4. Others are much much smaller
