Stylophora Coral Questions

[schooleyosis]

Does anyone have any experience with Stylo's?

Curious if they are hardy, hard/easy to keep, and if they will invade a tank like I have heard some pocillopora corals will do :tsk:. I know the Stylo's and Poci's look similar but I'm sure there are many, many differences that I'm not aware of.

I like the looks of both of them, but don't want to end up with a tank invading species.

Let me know your thoughts!

Stylo are a slightly hardier SPS coral, I'm fairly certain that it does not spread like Pocillopora.

Thanks Rob

Pocci= SPS xenia.

 

[schooleyosis]

Lol. I saw... From your personal experience which deterred me from the evil Poci

 

[bknapp]

It is everywhere.

Start selling frags dude. Lol

 

[bknapp]

I already fragged and sold the original colony, all of what it in my tank are spawns from that colony.

And I'm sure after this thread nobody is going to want any. Lol

It's a local thread... Expand your selling boundaries. Lol

This coral already has boundary issues, no need to give it more reasons.

Had a pink stylo once. Beautiful coral, easy to keep the color, but probably slower growing than many acros out there. If you get a stylo that takes over the tank you've got to be dosing steroids or something.

Good to know cee. Just wanted to make sure it's not like the Pocci.
