LPS Spotlight: Bowerbanki

Davesgt · Mar 27, 2014

An amazing coral that you just don't hear about very much anymore, could it be because of the rarity? Whatever the case id love to hear from you guys that have these awesome corals. Whats makes the guys happy; lighting, placement, etc.... Plus lets see some pics!!!

Here is a red Bowerbanki of mine. I find them pretty hardy and fun to feed. I also notice that if it is in close proximity to a coral it may not agree with... it will devour it within hours.

I have a nice Chunk of that from Unique Coral that I got as a Freebie! Absolutely HORRID cellphone picture, but here it is:

That picture was from a few months ago and you can't see the side where I have 2 baby heads FINALLY popping out - it took forever to grow baby polyps and just grew from a small, solid red single 1.5" polyp to a huge 3"+ across polyp before doing anything else.

Is that all the Bowerbanki owner we have?

I just got one 2 weeks ago. I'm still playing with it to see where it likes the lighting. My leds are about 38" from them but they looked like they were a little PO'd so I have them shaded. I haven't fed them yet but when I get around for work at 5:30am I see them open when some ambient light hits the tank.

My Bower

I have this one for almost a year and it eats like crazy. It does eat slow, so I cover with a cut off water bottle when spot feeding, so no one else can steal the food. I have seen it called a Superman Bower? IDK it is cool though.
