Mystery coral update

[MixedFruitBasket]

They are fluffing quite nicely. Also found two hitchhiker corals on the base rock. I think it's gonipora.

Looking very good! Have you tried to feed it anything? Reef roids, marine snow, etc?

Yes, I feed my tank daily because of my gorgonians. So it eats. I've seen those little polyps grab stuff and sometimes I see them opening and closing and grabbing nothing at all. It's interesting because they open and close so fast.

Are you able to upload any video of it? Would love to see that!

I will try to get some video as soon as I can. I have a little cool pix camera that would probably look better than my iPhone.

What do you feed, if you don't mind?

What do you feed, if you don't mind?

Live phytoplankton, reef roids, oyster roe, three types of frozen copepods, plankton, live brine shrimp, live copepods, reef snow, amino acids. Mix it all up into a large glass then use a pipet for direct feeding in the morning. I also broadcast feed in the evening. Mysis shrimp is put in as well for fish and inverts.

Lovely looking coral and sweet hitchhikers too. Do you have a tank build thread? I would love to see some more photos of your stock. :)

No tank build. I’ve had my tank for about five years so it’s long time been built. I hope to one day soon afford a new lagoon with a little more real estate so I can add things like gonipora and alevapora.

Awesome thread , I think the hitchhiker is a cypahstrea , rather than a gonipora

Might be, too small for me to count tentacles.
