Elegant Corals has this sweet acro called Valintina [emoji12]

I definitely need this in my life!

Thanks!

Rehabilitating a friend's PM. Not looking quite like a PM right now, but originally came from Ali.

A different coral that I think is a smooth skin. Polyps turning reddish

Ok this thread is dead .. Need to bring it alive
Come on guys :- I know some of you have the most amazing smoothies that would make tenuis look like child's play

Here's a couple of mine .. I have seen that somehow my smooth skins do wayyyy better under lower kelvin halides than any other acroporas

ORA Hawkins :- I cant have a tank without it

Wild Suharsonai or Lokani :- Can't believe how yellow it is under halides

Abhishek

I love all of them... even the green ones.

One that is under-kept and under-appreciated, IMO, in the Tryee Longhorn. It is similar to the 20K and 30K Lokani, but deeper color and not quite as demanding.

@jda - All the recent tenuis craze has made 20K, 30K lokanis and even Tyree Longhorn extinct from the hobby . Where do I find these ?

Look for the good hobbyists who still use T5 and MH. Deep waters are much harder under LED... not impossible, but not easy. Peng, Big Ed would be a good place to start for deep waters that are ready to cut... maybe even Battlecorals. I have some of these, but the are still pretty small. I got my Tyree Longhorn from Peng.

I have a Hawkins coming. I have a corolinia that appears to be bleaching under t5 fairly high. I need to move it down.

Another deepwater lover here.

Punisher I have my Hawkins on bottom glass with my t5 and it has no problems at all

I've got an 8bulb t5 with 2 actinic, 1 pp, and 5 bp with and xho actinic 11" awl 23" deep tank.

I'll start it low. Should get it wed this week.

It can live on the bottom lol

Do you have or can you rent a PAR meter ? Most of the deepwater ones neednot be in PAR over 200-250.
Now all smooth skins are not deepwater - example Pink Panther and Purple mOnster which need very high light to keep their colors and alive.

Amazing mate !! Someday I have to again get in touch with you for pink panther and purple monster .

How's the new build coming up ?

I filled the tank half way to cycle the rocks and such.

Been about 2.5 weeks. Got diatoms now, adding a couple of fish. Probably get the sump going in a few weeks.
