    Got one in a frag pack as one of my first corals. It didn’t open up for like 3 weeks to be honest tank was still cycling but not about 3 months later it’s doing amazing it’s one of the best looking corals in my pico reef along with my Duncan. ❤
    Update it stayed closed for almost 2 weeks I was using a baster to clean some sand off my rocks and it flaked apart and a nice brown spot appeared in it. Did a little digging and the green had completely flaked off and left behind a white skeleton 😢

    Just picked one up as my very first corals. I'd say mine did not like flow. The moment I turn it up they close. so I moved it away and near the return nozzle. Just the perfect flow it likes.

    I just put 3 polyps of firework cloves in my aquarium! I have had it setup for almost a year now, and just started adding coral. My first ones were a gsp and a gorgonian. I added them 3 months ago and that gsp has turned into an island on the rock I placed it on! I just added the firework clove, 2 green candy canes, 2 feather dusters, and a flourescent orange acro piece that is plated but has branches lifting off of it. Excited to see how this goes with all of these corals! I'm already hooked. My question is... I haven't glued the frag plugs bc I want to be able to move them if they're not happy where I placed them. ( I'm new to this) when I do glue them... but decide to move my tank or change the scape how in the world to I remove the corals for transport?

    WHAT? softies don't have a sting? I've had mushrooms sting duncan's, I've had zoas sting things, I've had a kenya tree kill am entire polyp of torch. I know there's a lot of opinion in this but that's a terrible thing to spread.
