That acan was a rescue, when i got it the skeleton was covered in hair algae. It was in real bad shape. Since that pic it has actually grown back over the old dead skeleton.
 
I have had this guy for almost 2 years now. Produced 2 babies of which one i propogated into 2. So i technically have 4 now.
 
Wow great tank. Same size and same light as mine. Can you give me the bulb configuration you are using? My light is so bright i have to use gutterguard overlapping to shade my zoa side of the tank.
 
Yeah i know, it is way to bright. I always have to shade my new corals for two weeks and slowly bring them into the open light. People who say T5s are not bright enough have no clue what they are talking about. I think the parabolic reflectors are over kill. As you see i have all kinds of corals in my tank.
I run my lights for 10 hrs. 2 blue+ from 2pm-4pm and 10pm-12am. 2 aquablue and 1 ge 6500k and 1 blue+ from 4pm-10pm.
Running all 6 bulbs at the same time is way to much. I will put up a pic of what happened to my Mycedium and all my corals when first got my Tek T5
 
This pic was taken 3 weeks after the initial bleaching

Most people would have thrown this coral away as dead. I just left it alone and it fully recovered.
