The acro picture; they are not all acros. The 2 to the left are montipora digitatas (branching montis). As far as the acros go it is difficult to tell for sure which they are. The picture are too blue to tell coloration and they're young yet. Give them a month or 2 to settle in and begin growing and ask again (with a little less blue in the pics).

The flowerpot needs to be target fed very fine foods like reef roids or it won't make it. It's considered difficult to keep. (Flower Pot Goniopora sp.)

Green candy cane/ trumpet coral are Caulastrea.

Duncan coral (Duncanopsammia axifuga)

*All the LPS enjoy being fed once or twice a week chopped mysis

THANK YOU! I have had the flower pot for about, 8 months. I have only target fed him.. maybe 5x. That is more than likely why he has not been opening up as much as he used to. i recently got Reef Chili, that i started feeding yesterday ( target ), I will continue to target feed atleast twice a week! The flower pot did grow from 1 head, to 3 heads. Thank you for you kind reply! Will post again when I can get better color, camera, coral, etc!


Any more tips on them are greatly appreciated!!

You're welcome [emoji3] Reef Reef chili is another favorite so you picked a good one. The Monti's are easy to keep for the most part and they will just filter feed. They like a little in NO3 so 5 PPM is good enough. Just remember with acros you have to keep all of your parameters as stable as possible. I guess that's about it :)

Great buy!
