cyphastrea

Anyone who has used cyphastrea as an encruster for your back wall, is it easy to remove when it encroaches on your rock wirk? I am getting a sweetheart cyphastrea soon and want to use it on the bacj wall but don’t want it to grow over my rockwork where it touches the wall and encrust over...

I just noticed a gray hole on my cyphaestrea? Params: Nitrates: 7 pH: 7.8-8 Alk: 8.4 Mag: 1440 Calc: 500 Temp: 80-81 all my other corals are doing well and growing, granted they are easy soft corals. The cyphaestrea looks like it has a gray spot on the right which doesn’t look like bleaching...

Hey y’all, I bought a red brick cyphaestrea from top shelf during their sale event, and it arrived with a white spot near one of the polyps. I tried gently brushing it off and doing a dip but it seems like slight bleaching. Can anyone confirm, and if so, what is the best course of action to help...

Im in the central KY area, near NKY really. Looking for a cyphastrea frag. Looking for meteor shower or another bright color. Lemme know.

Are cyphastrea agressive or do they just encrust everything?

Hi there! First post, bear with me. I’m concerned about my bling bling cyphastrea. It was growing like crazy for a few weeks, then I added a 2nd CURRENT USA ORBIT IC PRO light to my setup, and I think that’s when it started turning slightly white on the edge. Here are the results from the tests...

Hi there! Yesterday a friend of mine dropped by with a couple of coral frags for me. One frag was a kenya tree and the other frag was some sort of cyphastrea. I placed the cyphastrea in the tank but I don't believe its in the right spot. It appears to bleaching! I have a feeling it may be...

Got these frags from a WWC mystery pack. My first cyphastrea or goniastrea so I don’t know if theyre dead. It’s been over a month and I haven’t seen a difference. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks

Been looking everywhere to find a cyphastrea dominant tank and couldn't find anything. Anyone have a Cyphastrea dominant tank or garden please show it off!!

I have had this piece for a few months now and it has been growing. Brief lighting issue cause some fading, but that was resolved and color returning to normal. I noticed the underside has a few areas that are open. These were encrusted when I bought the frag, so I know something is up, but I...

Sorry for the potato quality, the image looked fine on the phone. Anywho, I bought this frag as a 'pink cyphastrea', but the more I look around, it looks like a porites. Anyone out there that can help?

https://aquanerd.com/2019/02/featured-coral-bizarro-cyphastrea.html We never get tired of looking at this cyphastrea. On a side note we are growing a colony on an old squamosa clam. Once it takes off a little more we will share a picture of it with you.

I've been collecting corals, but couldn't figure it out. this first one, I'm thinking Cyphastrea? But what kind? #2 – I have no idea. 3 –Favia or Favites? But which? (incidentally, apparently my Photoshop work sucks. The guy on the left is far more yellow, then green. Bright yellow!)...

Can onynowe in the Reefworld share some light and knowledge between the growth rate between Cyphastrea and Plesiastrea Which one of these grows the fastest? a-Cyphastrea b-Plesiastrea

first, I thought this little guy was a blenny, but now I'm thinking it's a male spotted Dragonet. Correct? 2nd, while he never stressed out my female Green Mandarin Dragonet, the Mandarin died. Could it be possible that he and her lowered the population of copepods in the tank and therefore...

hello all, parameters are all pretty good, just working on lowering salinity. My cyphastrea is dying, and I’m not sure if it’s because of the light (mines not that strong). I’m getting a new one tomorrow that’s very powerful, is there anyway this coral can make a comeback

Got this coral on Saturday, been doing good, but I just noticed this crack like thing on it.

I have traded up for some chalice frags. The three spots that I would prefer to place them have the potential for some coral warfare down the road. The corals that they could be battling are digitata, meteor shower cyphastrea, and sunset montipora. Who would win? Thanks for the help!

Welcome to my 75 gallon tank build thread! I hope you enjoy the progress of my tank that I started in August of 2017. First we'll begin with all the tank info on this post (with pictures), and the start of my tank on the second. See the last post for the most recent update. Thanks for viewing...

I've noticed a change in the flesh on this Cyphastrea. I've had it in the system for about 5 months now. Great growth and great coloration. I just noticed that the flesh around some of the polyps appears to look "torn". The areas where I see it the most are near the polyps at the lower part of...
