Turbinaria sp. coral, aka Pagoda coral. It will do well under both Power Compact and Metal Halide lighting. It should receive moderate current, enough to make the polyps sway slightly. Growth and polyp extension will improve with frequent feedings of zooplankton, small pieces of shrimp, or even marine flake food. It is a non aggressive coral so it is easily placed in the reef. Do not place it near mushroom polyps. They will cause severe tissue damage to this coral.
Euphyllia divisa, or Frogspawn coral. This species does better under higher lighting conditions like that of Metal Halide and higher wattage amounts of Power Compact lights. It prefers low to moderate current. Too much current will cause the polyps to remain somewhat withdrawn. This coral is a very aggressive feeder so it needs to feed frequently with small pieces of shrimp, fish, scallops, squid. Make sure to give this coral room to spread. It is very aggressive and will sting nearby corals, especially other stony corals. |
