Coral that came with live rock.

Hi again, here are two images of a coral skeleton which was part of the box of live rock I bought, I have no idea what it is - during the day there is nothing much to look at, just something similar in size and shape to a golf ball, however when the lights go out it seems to come alive.

Any ideas?

Day, sorry for poor quality

Night

All I can think of is

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Coral that came with live rock.

Really can't tell by the photos, but it looks like green hair algae to me. Any chance of getting better pictues day and night?

Re: Coral that came with live rock.

No idea at all, but those bumps that come out at night are weird!
