I have been confused about this for a while now, but this is even more pertinent now that I am starting to get into coral: How close can you place corals to one another? Everyone says to give space between corals because of sweeper tentacles. However, there is a grow out period, and they have...

I've got a 12 gallon fluval edge nano FOWLR tank that's been established on my desk at work for almost a year. I used to have an actinic LED I built myself but it stopped working about 6 months ago. Since I don't have any coral I've been using two 30 watt 'cool white' LED floodlights to light...

I love Candy Canes but I don't have any yet. I will but ayfrag when i get the chance. I just needed some tips from reefers who grew candy canes. Thank you !

Hi all, I have a trumpet up towards the top part of my tank that looks very puffy, but I'm concerned it's TOO puffy. Is it getting too much light? I'm using an AI Nano that I've slowly ramped up from 25%, I'm at about 50% white, 60% blue and deep blue but I'm not getting that blue pop they had...

I recently bought this frag from my lfs. It was not labeled so I looked it up online before buying and I found it to be what I think is the candy cane coral or trumpet. I have had it for a few days now, almost a week. I also purchased a mushroom at the same time. I have attached pictures. The...

Hi, this being my 1st reef (20G) , The stem part of the corals are fading into like a dead coral day by day, Is it a disease or lack of system parameters, also, please let me know what are the chances of the coral recovering. I noticed the calcium being very low (@100ppm), a week after I got...

This is a long and thurough post, sorry. I reciently broght home some Candy Cane frags from a 100gal reef tank I maintain at work. They are very happy in that tank, big/thick/fat, with sweeper tenticles easily visable around the circumference of the green inner disc. But the ones in my tank...
