Purple coral

[lostndessence]

Ive had this coral for about a year and i dont know what it is. When I bought it I was told it is a hollywood stunner but when I look that up none of the pictures I see look like this. Anyone know what it is or have one?

The main reason I wanna know is that it's never grown much and recently it's begun to die very slowly. If I knew exactly what it was I might be able to save it.

Not 100% but it looks like a purple/blue psammocora

DUDE! You nailed it. This looks identical to psammocora. I just googled it. Thank you.

No problem, i have multple pieces of psammacora and they love good water flow and medium light, they do become alot brighter and happier when started low and worked their way up in the tank. Oh and these are slow growers but do have growth spurts that will amaze you.

Thinking it was a hollywood stunner, I started it at the highest point in my tank. Ive been treating cyano recently and i had to move it. Now its in a much lower light and ive noticed some healing. Its hard to tell though.

Do you have to dose anything special for these guys, or noticed a parameter that affected them significantly?

I usually just dose accordingly for my tank loss but as for food i use Aquavitro fuel and reef roids and they really love it. The lowere light will help it adapt better.
