Coral ID

moe458 · 08/06/2012, 12:18 PM

Can you please identify this corel for me. I was told it's duncan but i am not sure. Recently I had high nitrites and due to that it shrunk. I changed the water a couple of days ago and now the parameters are stable.

ph 8.0
amonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 10ppm
phos 0.25

To me it looks like a xenia that is not doing the greatest.

But it is definitely not a Duncan, this is a Duncan http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...70&pcatid=2670

looks like anthelia. Real similar to xenia. Just looks a bit iritated. Give it time, they are pretty tuff.

definitely Anthelia, check your salinity since they tend to not do very well under 1.025, and make sure it's getting enough flow to kind of "sway in the breeze"

Okay i'm going to try to move it around a bit near a good flow and see how it rolls out. if that doesn't make it feel better i'm going to drop the salinity and see how it feels..

It's funny my goniopora coral is doing well under that salinity though..at first it was stressed now it's better and this one is going down hill
