Wow![emoji7] This is phenomenal! How have you been able to grow so much in just 2 months? What's your system like and what do you feed? Dose? Fantastic....my coral take forever to grow
Wow, I had to dig back to see what post you were talking about, haha. Here is a current pic, the one you were looking at was from Feb. I feed combination of chopped PE Mysis, oyster eggs, PE Calanus, and just started adding reefroids. Feed about once a week. I dose B-ionic 2 part and AcroPower. I've found that stability matters to my corals more than anything else though.

I've had this frag for sale locally for $100 with no takers.

Looks
Like a loripus colony. I had 2 frags and my lfs is holding 1 more till my 75 is done. It’s a low light coral. Both mine turned as soon as I moved em from like 40% intensity to 55-60 crazy and the 2nd was a vacation. So it’s a Coral that need a colony. Or perfect water always.
Ok. I’ve used 2 loripus frags and cant get the par or space right. What’s the flow and I got 330par for it and felt that was a bit high at my LFS. and I want this 2 grow. It’s encrusted while others were fresh frags so it’s holding its own during adjustment. Lmk. Thanks.

It’s got straight light and prolly 220 par. It’s 2/6 up in the tank. I feel higher is needed. It’s a 2 bulb ATI actinic and coral +. Flow is low/ mixed from bursts.

Wow
I’m moving it now. Ohhh noooooo. I can’t imagine that. Losing my first 2 was bad. The deep water name and my research didn’t say anything about it can take full light so I’ve been trying 2 find what makes it happy. And I just made me happy as it has 1/2 it’s polyps off it’s tip. Always goes tip down on me with Lori. But I hope ur words saved this frag as I feel terrible replacing it and trying again. There’s a I can’t grow it point and pray that’s not it. So it’s now 3/4 up and will b on my top rack by Monday. Thank u sooooo much and I want a colony like what u had so I hope ur reefing as that’s a gorgeous Lori colony
