Very nice Rich. thats gotta be one of my favorite corals!

 

[rickytsui]

what kind of light does it need to live in a tank 400watt?

 

[jackson6745]

Rickytsui, lighting is not as important as you think. This coral could be kept alive and colorful with just VHO's. It does need high water quality to thrive and remain colorful though. I suggest you closely monitor your calcium, alkalinity, phosphate, nitrate, magnesium, and salinity using qualtiy testkits from Salifert and a refractometer (if you don't already do so). I have kept this coral under 175w + 250w halides and also just T5's in a friends tank.

HTH,
Rich

both are nice.. never seen a "cream color"... if u asked me i would of said it was bleaching... I love the contrast

 

[jackson6745]

na, do a search on acropora loripies, it's a common color. If it is bleaching then is has been bleached for over a year an grown from a little frag into a colony (I don't think so)

Save some frags for me. I want a piece of the Bonsai. I'll pay you for it.

I need to begin stocking up for the 150 system.

And I'm definitly coming down this weekend, snow or no snow.
