Pink Stylophora
 

I bought this acouple of weeks ago from the LFS. It was almost completely white, but I figured I could save it. Glad I did.

Nice save.....

What sucks is there was a purple one also, but I could only grab one. The purple one is now a skeleton at the LFS.

Absolutely beautiful!! When/if you frag that one, can I be first in line?? :wink:

Christy :)

how is it that you save a coral like that. Is it just a matter of adding it to a established aquarium with proper lighting and water conditions and then waiting.

Just interested

Nice! :D

I did the same thing with a pocillipora a few years ago.

I was at my LFS today while he was unpacking his 3 separate shipments today.....all three shipments were delayed 24 hours each..... :evil:

You should have seen the shape the livestock was in..... :(
People complain about the shape of livestock (fish and corals) that are offered for sale - but there's not much the LFS owner can do when it arrives sick or bleached.

Mitch :?

A great spot to see the growth in this species.

Mitch, thats not always the case.. a lot of time it is also because the conditions at the LFS are less than desiriable


Steve

Yes Steve, but if it arrives in bad condition..... :roll:

It should be obvious in other ways if an LFS is keeping corals in less than desirable conditions.

Mitch

Josh, yes, I knew my tank is much better than the LFS tank and felt it would recover for me. I have made that gamble before and lost though..
