Coral ID

malicemethods · 01/01/2008, 04:50 PM

Ive had this "tree" Coral for a couple of months now and seems to be growing pretty fast. I figured that it would need a lot of light and water movement so i placed it on the top of all of my live rock (which is still about 6-8 inches from the top of the water). I have 1x65w 10,000k and 1x65w actinic. Sometimes the "tree" coral tips over and looks deflated and the appendages retract quite a bit. I don't know what kinda of coral this is and what the lighting or water movement requirements are. Ive just been feeding it "flake frenzy" fish food, seems to be doing fine. Can anyone ID this coral for me?

Thank You

* the pictures are in the zip folder titled "Reef pics"
