My First Coral

[Richard498]

Hi, I'm finally done cycling, bought a cleanup crew from saltwaterfish.com. The package came with a coral frag. Can anyone tell me if they recognize what kind of Coral it is. And if I've put in it a good location? It's a 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump.

Thanks guys, new to salt water, long time fresh water keeper.

It looks kind of like a Turbinaria coral.

And it is, otherwise known as a Yellow Scroll Coral. Needs higher flow and intense lighting to maintain yellow coloration. Consider an SPS, acts like an LPS imo.

Darn, I was hoping it would open up and grow into and long tentacle type. It was an assorted frag, so I can't complain. Thanks guys, hope I can keep it alive

Make sure these rocks are stable or they will fall forward. Ours did with help from fish digging under them!!

Thanks, I did lots of pressure tests during the cycling. Added the two live rock in the front just to be sure

Now I'm on a mission to find the best Coral frag dealer. Been putting off buying the protein skimmer, hope I still have some time
