Just started a stereonepthia tank.
Will update later when those corals have completely attached and fully opened up.
NPS is out of my league.

The LFS had a big shipment full of these corals.
The shop owner have no idea what these are, they called them Christmas tree corals.
I just bought all of them.
To my understanding those with bigger calcium spikes and spiky touch are stereonepthya.
And those without the spiky touch, and with much smaller calcium spikes are (Japanese)pink Nepthya.
Do you happens to know the scientific name for the pink Nepthya?

@MixedFruitBasket would help you. I ship them to him when available. Try asking him. Thanks for sharing. Love your set up.

I was working on the system today, one pump went out and had to get a different one running. And I turned off the chiller and forgot to turn it back on, the temperature in 2-3 hours went up to 83 degrees
