Coral ID help

[Jholley565]

Can anyone ID these frags? I’m trying to figure out flow/lighting needs for permanent placement. I would like to know the specific name of each piece if possible.

Looks like a wild acro, acan, golden eye Chalice, neon pocillipora, another wild acro, green tip acro, Birdsnest, millipora, acan echinita, neon birdsnest. All of the Acropora and milliepora will need very, VERY high lighting-flow and should go to the highest point possible. The birdsnests also need pretty high lighting and flow but not quite as much as the acro’s. The pocillipora should be fine about 1/2-3/4 to the top of the tank in medium flow. Acan echinita need a rock (low light and flow) to encrust on. The other acans (acan lord) will be fine either on the sand bed or in the bottom 1/3 of the tank in low flow.

All of these corals will need pretty good reef lights and you will have to dose.

The rocks also look VERY clean. How old is the tank?

I’m dosing BRS 2 part and I run 2 noopsyche k7 pro 2s so I’m good to go there. My tank is about 6 months old. I have a sand sifting gong so that’s why my sand is clean. My lights are at 25% and going up slowly every week. I tested the waters with the bright green acan and it loves my tank so I got more.

Sand sifting goby**

I was referring to the rocks. The rocks look waayyy too clean. It’s still a bit young for acros. What are your parameters? Acans happy numbers are much different from sticks.

Sorry I meant to say acro. I’ve had the acro for about 3 months. I’ve had great success with it. The pictures you are referring to are the ones with the chalice and the green acro I’m assuming? The pictures were taken 3 months ago. Those were my test pieces I put in when the tank was 4 months old. They have doubled in size and colored up nicely. I keep my mag, alk, and cal a little higher than most. I don’t test for anything else because it never changes. My parameters are measured once a day and they are stable.
