Not sure why i do this but bought a chili coral. Yep, add another non-photo, hard to care for coral in the mix. Its in the corner until i figure out what to do with it. I only get polyp extension at night and have been target feeding it. The LFS had a much bigger colony but i really didn't like the colouration and they couldn't get any polyp extension (even in the dark).

Sun Coral Propagation
Once your sun corals get established you will get propagation from your colony "spewing" out mini polyps. Unfortunately most of mine end up stuck under the rockwork and don't make it. This is the only survivor so far.

Contrast the SPS growth with my Orange Pavona
Top picture Feb 2013, Bottom picture April 2013
You can see the top part (white) where the putty holds the frag is completely encrusted to the rockwork - about a 1/3 inch growth . Hopefully I can see some growth onto the rockwork. On the right side near the top you can also see the encrusting over a small section of the rockwork.

That Pavona is cool! Looks like it is about to go to war with some GSP tho. Poor Pavona :-(

Just picked these up from SUM - they have a new coral shipment. Literally got them as they unpacked them
Red Goniopora
The colours don't do this coral justice. Its a fluorescent metallic red. No polyp extension yet as I just put it into the display after a dip.
