Haha. Thanks, I really liek it too. I believe it is an echinata. I have had it for quite some time. It is one of my largest pieces. But that is because it is considered a pretected species in my tank haha. It is on the fiances "do not frag" list. It is her favorite and she calls it her snowflake. I think only 1 person has ever gotten a frag of this before.

thats definitely a sweet coral.I have the same one (not AS nice) and believe it to be A. Turaki.Echenata have more tubular coralites.Whatcha think?

I think its a deep water coral....
Where is it located in your tank? under what light?

Hey man, I don't mean to inteject here, I didn't read the whole thread, but If any one gave you any advice,I would disregard it, and go with what you were doing at the beginning. That's some of the nicest colour I've ever seen. Nice work!!

Wow. I dont even know what to say when someone says that to me. I really had no clue what i was doing from the begining so I cant know what i am doing right or wrong. But i will definitely be more careful about too much lighting in the future. After reducing the amount of light in my tank 2 weeks ago I noticed alot of my colors turning more vibrant and less paled out. Thanks for the motivating words

Hmm.. not sure. I guess you can never really be 100% sure of this kind of stuff. It may grow like a turaki in 1 persons tank but a frag of the same thing could grow out longer and skinnier in another persons tank. What I believe to be a turaki in my tank looks very different though. but you never know haha.

Deep water for sure i have it up high near the center of my tank. It is the only place it will sort of fit at the moment. There needs to be major re locations when i get a bigger tank. Hopefully before my corals kill each other.
