Stylophora.jpg

Edwin... although the image does not give a clear visage of the polyp structure, this specimen does indeed look like the Pocilloporid, Stylophora pistillata. It will need strong random turbulent water flow and stable water quality as one would provide for most any scleractinians. They are believed to mature sexually at a young age (just several years old) and may produce planulae asexually if fed well. A fishless upstream refugium is highly recommended here. Best regards, Anthony

ahh, just posted a question under your photo. How long have you had the barred angel? I only know one person that kept one successfully long term, or semi long term depending on how you look at it. He had his two years. Good luck with him.

That's great news !
Have you tried to add sponge to his diet ? They have a similar diet as some of the Larger Angels and need some sponge in their diet for their long term success from what I've read. I think Formula One contains some sponge in it and would be worth a try.

Related to this, and knowing that Wittfull lives in NJ. One thing I would do when I had the larger sponge feeding angles is to collect some sponges from the back bay area along the south NJ coast. You usually can find some orange finger sponges. You can harvest a few small sponges or a few fingers, QT them for a coupe of weeks, and then put them in the tank for the angel.

Years ago I had a cortez angel that would rip into them. The sponges will stay alive for some time if handled correctly, but they can easily die, so keep an eye on them, and remove it if it smells rotten.
