Where do you get your powdered spiralina? And is the chlorella and kelp also powdered?
Thanks

Month 5, discovered by accident few tricks that seem to bring carnation corals back from the dead or near death. Tinkering with foods.

This morning also, this is the one we're keeping an eye on. Dendronephthya sp. from Kenya
We're waiting for a transformation, 1-2mo. maybe less

Recap, or reminder, it's still true, the 3 F's still apply. Food, filtration, flow. Order doesn't matter, one is not greater than the other. But, till now, I add this. Healthy specimens and good acclimation. This may be the keys to success. In the next 2-3 years we'll know. Patience grasshopper. ........

Is there a doctor in the house?!
I picked this up on Saturday, as soon as I saw it sulking in a corner I knew it was something interesting.
It was in poor shape, some very odd looking branch tips.
Yes that is a heavy duty base, excuse the pic, over 2 feet away from the desk end, some idiot placed it behind a long polyp gorg looking from the front!

Kinda looks like deflated stereo nepthea. Especially from what I can see of the polyps down on the left corner. The kind of trident pattern on them.
Give it some light.

Stereonephthya, Lemnalia, one of those, cool. Good flow, med-high light? Food. Can't believe you found one. I was at a LRS last week, they had a stereonephthya for $800. Was big like American football. Thanks for sharing, comrade. @MixedFruitBasket will love it. ........Hahaha

Don't forget, do the sponge bacteria acclimation, will help unstress. In future. Looks like it's starting to relax.
