[klloyd]

I just brought home a very pretty pink bubble coral last night. And am wondering if what's some good tips to know about them. just over night it seemed to take great to the tank and has already opened up fully. I know there not muck different in care them my hammers and frog. but I am

always willing to learn something new from the pros

haha I would love to lean how to frag some time my lfs said they would do it for free any time I needed tho. and ya it really is a good looking piece. they also have a neon green one much smaller but still as pretty. it was a price screw up so I could not pass up a great deal lol

lets compare your prices to a land locked Texan shopping for that at lfs. id would have had to pay 120xx for that how much u pay~

My experience is low to moderate flow.

Well I'm far north new England lol. And we'll it was up for 120 but I landed it for 60. Steal right lol

Advice is to keep a good 4" of area on each side of it clear of any corals, as its sweeping tentacles are quite lethal. Especially if you plan on feeding it, its tentacles may even come out when lights are on.

Would it bother my hammer. It's not right in top of it but still kinda close

That depends on the flow and length of its tentacles. You should observe it at both light on and off and decide its final placement. I've seen many reef with large healthy bubbles and their placement is at the corner where it has low flow and enough space to stretch and bothers no one.

Well I will have to watch it then for a few days. I'm hoping it works out right there tho. It was such a void I wanted to fill

Watch the tentacles as they may hit that feather duster. At night those bubble corals have sweepers that are huge

I hope you can find a place for it. It's one of my fav corals. In today's market that is flooded with neon colored LPS like acan, scoly, and meat, the bubble has kind of fallen out of the trend but man, it's so unique when healthy and inflated.

I just give mine plenty of room. Its tentacles are out most of the day it seems like.

Thank you for all the tips. And yes we saw it at the store and said it just something new we never really have seen much of. And I like the weird ones. Lol
