That does not look alive to me. If you look at the tubes, each one should have a small white polyp that comes out of it. At the very least you should have a small bump inside the tube showing that...

Don't run it out of sump. The ASMs don't have good seals and the o-rings are not sized appropriately in my experience. I have a G6 which leaks from the seals where the dome connects and it also...

My layman's opinion is Montipora, too. The porites I have seen have a more honeycombed look to the corallite structure. This one, on the other hand, looks to be more random like some of the...

It will grow and spread out to it's limitations with the water, maybe even a bit above it. I would think that in an aquarium with proper surface agitation the tips would always be wet so it will...

I use the 20,000K 400W Helios SE bulbs on PFO HQI ballasts in Lumenarc III reflectors. This is my first foray into 400W bulbs and this bulb has certainly sold me. It's very blue at first but then...

Very difficult to see the corals and the corallites. Can you turn off the room lights but leave the tank on and then turn your flash on your camera off? That would help get a better picture. The...

It also depends on the ballast and reflector combination you use. I run Helios 20,000K 400W in Lumenarc III on a PFO HQI ballast. I like the coloration and run it without supplementation.

It's all fused together and the one branch that I fragged off was in the process of fusing with the other "one". A few people have said it's an A. sarmentosa but that has also been qualified by the...

Actually, it's the lights. I use 20,000K Helios bulbs and they make every green a neon or fluorescent green. The colors develop better under certain types of lighting. I have a metallic green acro...

Hmmm... doesn't look like either of those to me. Can you get a shot of it when the polyps are not extended? Pocillopora usually does not have pronounced corallites and hydnophora has a "furrier"...

Wow, those prices are kind of high. I used to live in Chicago and I'd say $5-$15. Here in VA I'd say they are $5-$10 frags.
