Hey everyone this is my new coral and I was wondering what it is called? Also does it look healthy? And can someone explain to me what sps and lps means and stand for? Thanks for your help!

Lps is long polyp stony and sps is small polyp stony... I am 1 week in to owning my first sw tank so I am sorry I couldnt tell you much about the coral except its gorgeous, hope I helped a little tho!!

That is an LPS from Australia known as Duncan Coral. It looks very healthy too! If you feed it, it will grow really fast for you.

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Ok! Thank you both for your help! What would be a good food to feed it? And how would it grow? Like more heads?

 

[calvo15290]

More heads branching

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Ok cool!! Thank you!

 

[Rob&Gab]

The more you FEED! the more head will grow quickly into a reallly amazingly nice colony. Good luck on you and his journey!

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Thank you guys!! I'm going to start feeding it soon! I have another coral I need an id for!

Excuse the GHA but I was curious if this one is healthy too? Thanks for all your help! I appreciate it so much!!!

Candy cane

 

[calvo15290]

You don't need to feed it to grow like weeds haha

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Ok thanks!! Calvo you always respond so fast! and was it you that one the rugby state championship?

 

[jhoffa92]

If I am correct that is a Australian green trumpet coral I have one aswell really nice piece

 

[jhoffa92]

Bad pic but you get the idea lol

 

[Connie]

Kryptonite Candy Cane....Trumpets and Candy Cane are the same thing. They will eat Mysis with your Duncans and multiply for you.

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Yours look good! and thanks I'll have to get some food for them!

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Is this an sps? And what type of coral is this?

Lol an what's this one?

Is it fine that my shrimp is on this coral?

And do these zoas look healthy?

Also on a different zoa colony there are clear zoas, is this their dead appearance? And do my corals that I just posted look healthy? This is really my first time trying to keep coral and was wondering if they looked good? Thanks everyone! have a good day!

No there meatier shower Monti cap and no it's Kenya tree and the zoas look fine

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Ok thanks! my fire shrimp is normally not on the Kenya tree but my clown chased him and he hid on it. Do meteor showers grow fast? And should I keep my shrimp off of the Kenya tree?

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Is this to close? And how bad is the shrimp on the tree coral?
