Birdsnest

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Could also be a stylo or pocilipora

+1 Birdsnest. IMO, too branchy for stylo/poci.

ya i was thinking pink birdsnest, anyone mind going to the chemical forum and answer that quest?

 

[Mstanker]

For my birdsnest it tips of the a whiteish does that mean its putting out new growth or bleached?

That's more like pink pocillipora, birds nest has a narrow sharp tip...

 

[Mstanker]

i just googled that in images and it does look just like what you said.

So i just changed up where i placed it in the tank, more of a high flow coral correct.

 

[footballdude2k3]

The branches look too thick to be a birdsnest IMO

It's possible it could be a Birdsnest. But it is def not a ponape Birdsnest.

So you all see that white stuff floating in the water around the coral. Its stuff that's in my hose from the return pump. Every time i hit the tube some slivers and dust stuff floats in my tank. It was yellowish crap. I bought a reactor added carbon to clear the water up. nope didnt happen and cant seem to get the water crystal clear. help
