I bought these at the local lfs today. Was told they are psammacora, but they look like stylos to me. Can anyone identify?

Unfortunatly most frags of sps corals u need to grow out in order to actually properlly id them. Frags arent what they used to be! Lol

Okay ty. Are they fast growers? The other spa I got was a pavona and they explicitly said give it lots of room it grows fast. But said nothing on the other two.

Ahh okay so this is like "cauliflower" coral style basically. New to sps. In fact these three are my first pieces.

Sps grow real fast yes when happy and settled. Get an alk test. When alk starts to deplete. Get a cal test.
Than when ur demands for alk and cal and mag are way up...get a calcium reactor. Lol.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

This should be over a 1 yr or more course and your demand for calcium and alk will depend how much coral you buy. Lol

Haha way of ahead of you on that one. Been doing massive research. Already set for dosing. Was looking at using polylab One. For my initial dosing whe. I see call and alk being used. Then when that cant keep up I will swap to individual dosing of calc alk and mag.

I did place my pavona close to the nero 3 running at 75% so I may need to move that not sure yet.

Ya most ppl start off with a 2 part dose. Than move to individual elemement doses on a doser. Im gonna hand dose the whole time till i go to reactor. Lol.
