Ime not an overly demanding coral with light or flow, it does look in the pic to be shrunlen in smd skelaton showing just a Tad should be more thicker fleshed , like you mentioned its green has faded away but will come back  |
My tank is a 46 gallon 20" depth with 2 t5ho 10k and 20k bulb
Unfortunately no sump
40lb live rock
reef octopus HOB skimmer
Not much live stock yet, currently I have the following:
1 clown
1 cleaner shrimp
1 branched hammer coral
1 bubble coral
5 lps/zoa frags
Water parameters that I can measure are:
0, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate
420 ppm Calcium
7dKH Alkalinity
7.8 PH
Previously I was only using the regular instant ocean salt, to raise calcium/alk I was dosing using a two part calcium/alkalinity solution.
I recently switched to a proper reef salt (seachem salinity) and dosing the two part solution as needed. I do a 20 percent water change every two weeks.
