Healthy cup coral?

[tkjeffrey]

Here is my cup coral that I have had for 3 weeks. I feed it 2 times a week with blender mush. Picture doesnt do it justice, its a real bright green. What do you guys think? You think it looks healthy? I know very little about cup coral other than it is fairly hardy. Let me know what ya think please.

looks great!!

make sure to keep any detritus from building up in the cup. the hardest thing about keeping these guys is getting enough light along the underside of the cup to keep it from dying back. for this reason the pagoda or columnar version of these are easier to keep.

that is a nice colour green!

they are tough though i had one and 99% of it died in the heater fiasco. i broke off the remaining polyps and they are still alive and starting to grow again. this is a coral that grows on the glacial time frame.

Geoff... does the columnar version of the cup coral have a long/large trunk like leather corals?

[Geoff]

you may have a sea pen. a Cavarnularis spp.

I just looked up a sea pen.. it doesn't look like that. It looks almost exactly (different color) like the cup coral above... except it has a "trunk" that is about 3 inches long and about 1 and a half inche think. One of these days I really need to find me a good digi camera.
