My husband always forgets the names of the stuff he buys [emoji87][emoji1]

He got this $10 coral today.

Some sort of favia

Lps ^

He thinks it starts with an M..?

 

[flutter.baybee]

Does this sound right, Montastraea curta?

Kinda looks like a moseleya. Hopefully you can stop the tissue regression.

 

[flutter.baybee]

Is there a way to stop the tissue regression? We are still Very new to corals

 

[nemo1017]

Reed dip or any other iodine dip to stop whatever is irritating it. Check for pests and use coral rx if needed. If it doesn't show signs of improvement: check water parameters.

Ok, thank you!

 

[nemo1017]

No problem, were all here to help!

I'm reading conflicting info on placement for this guy, too. I've read high flow, intense light and the opposite. Any recommendations?

 

[nemo1017]

Try putting it low and moving it around gradually to see where it looks happiest. If the moselaya are related to favia then I have my favia about midway in my tank and they get an intermediate amount of flow.

What kind of lighting do you have? Medium to low light/medium - indirect flow for most LPS in general
