I recently (6 weeks), recieved two of the pink Japanese Nephthea , sold to me as scleronephthya, after 1 week started wasting away, till I feed food it likes and put a 6500k light on it. Too late to save but still alive. Here's pictures of it. From day 1

Ok could not wait to share the excitement with you all.

This right after adding to the tank so yeah still stressed from taking a trip criss country.

1st is the stereo and 2nd blue tree.
PS tank lighting is down to 10-15% in these pics too. but it will give you an idea.

How is Stereo Nephia doing now? And the blue Solman tree? Do you have any tips for growing these corals? Light? Feeding?
Thank you!

Yes upside down, I thought it was a dendronephthya colony, I will be surprise if I see again ever. Because of coral bans, it's a race to aquaculture any corals. Many don't realize that. I just returned alittle over a year. Wish I never left. When I can buy wholesale I try, (only dendronephthya, some NPS), but I see the coral exporters list and it's small in variety. Bummer
